(A) Every lot shall abut on a dedicated street.
(B) The size, shape and orientation of lots shall be appropriate for the location of the proposed subdivision and for the type of development contemplated, and shall conform with the provisions of Ch. 156 of this code of ordinances, unless stipulated otherwise herein. Excessive depth in relation to width shall be avoided (proportion of two and one-half to one (2-1/2:1) normally shall be considered a maximum).
(C) Lots for residence purpose shall be at least 65 feet wide at the building line and corner lots shall be platted wider than interior lots in order to permit conformance with the setback on the side street required by Ch. 156 of this code of ordinances.
(D) Double frontage lots should not be platted; except that, where desired along principal thoroughfares, lots may face an interior street and back on such thoroughfares; in which case, an easement for a planting screen, at least 20 feet wide, shall be provided along the back of the lots.
(E) Side lot lines shall be approximately at right angles to the right-of-way line of the street on which the lot abuts.
(F) In case the subdivision lies inside the area designated as an urban service area in the Master Plan, that is the area which a city or town expects to serve with water and sanitary sewers, and in case the water and sanitary facilities to be provided in the subdivision are to be completed with already available facilities nearby or the water supply facilities are to be so connected and a complete sanitary sewer system, including an approved central water supply system and the aforesaid complete sanitary system both are to be provided by the subdivider; the minimum lot size shall be as stipulated in Ch. 156 of this code of ordinances. If the subdivision lies outside of a designated urban service area, the minimum lot size shall be one acre if both water and sanitary facilities are to be provided on an individual basis, and one-half acre if only sanitary facilities are provided on an individual lot basis and water by a central system, or such larger minimum size, in either case, as may be prescribed by the County Health Department.
(G) Residential lots, fronting or abutting on primary thoroughfares and other important trafficways, should have a minimum depth of 200 feet to permit buildings to be set back a sufficient distance from such trafficways.
(H) Lots abutting upon a watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream shall be of such additional depth or width as required to provide an acceptable building site, whose edge shall be the same as the easement dedicated for such watercourse.
