(A) (1) All lots shall abut on a street.
(2) The purpose of this chapter is to insure, among other things, that residences and commercial buildings be erected on property having adequate street frontage. From and after the date of passage of this chapter, residences and commercial structures shall not be erected on lots fronting on alleys. It is not the intent or purpose of this chapter to prohibit the construction of accessory structures such as garages on lots fronting on alleys provided the person or entity desiring to construct the garage or other accessory structure first obtains the necessary building permit.
(B) Side lines of lots shall be at approximately right angles to straight streets and on radial lines on curved streets. Some variation from this rule is permissible, but pointed or very irregular lots should be avoided.
(C) Double frontage lots should not be platted, except that where desired along arterial streets, lots may face on an interior street and back on thoroughfares. In that event, a planting strip for a screen, at least 20 feet in width, shall be provided along the back of the lot.
(D) Widths and areas of lots shall be not less than that provided in the zoning code in Chapter 155 for the district in which the subdivision is located.
(E) Wherever possible, unit shopping centers, based upon sound development standards, should be designed in contrast to the platting of lots for individual commercial use.
(F) Corner residential lots shall be wider than normal in order to permit appropriate setbacks from both streets.
