(A) The lot size, width and depth shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and shall be in accordance with the applicable zoning regulations.
(B) Depth and width of properties reserved for multiple commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for off-street parking and service facilities as contemplated.
(C) Corner lots for residential use shall have an extra width to permit appropriate building setbacks from and orientation to both streets.
(D) Subdivision shall be laid out in such a manner as to provide each lot with satisfactory access to a public street.
(E) Double frontage and reverse frontage lots shall be avoided, except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planting screen easement of at least ten feet in width shall be provided along any line of lots abutting such a traffic artery or other disadvantaged use where required by the city.
(F) Side lot lines shall wherever possible be substantially at right angles to street lines or radial from the radius point in the case of a cul-de-sac or curved street.
(G) In the subdividing of land, regard shall be shown for all natural features, including tree growth, watercourses, historic places and similar amenities of the area, which if preserved will add attractiveness and stability to the area. Such irreplaceable asset shall be preserved in the design of the subdivision to the extent possible.
(H) Lot remnants which are below minimum lot area or dimension must be added to adjacent or surrounding lots rather than to be allowed to remain as an unusable outlot or parcel unless the subdivider can show acceptable plans for the future use of such remnants.
