(A) The size, shape and orientation of lots shall be appropriate for the location of the proposed subdivision and for the type of development contemplated.
(B) Excessive depth in relation to width shall be avoided. A proportion of two to one shall normally be considered as appropriate, except in the case of narrow lots.
(C) Every lot shall abut on a publicly dedicated street.
(D) Lots for residence purposes shall be at least 50 feet wide at the building setback line, in order to permit compliance with the side yard requirements of the zoning ordinance and still be adequate for a building of practicable width.
(E) Double frontage lots and reversed frontage lots shall be avoided.
(F) Side lot lines shall be approximately at right angles to the right-of-way line of the street on which the lot faces.
(G) Corner lots for residential use shall be platted wider than interior lots in order to permit conformance with the front yard setback on the side street required by the zoning ordinance.
(H) Residential lots fronting on highways, thoroughfares and other important traffic ways should have extra depth to permit deep setbacks for the buildings.
