(a) Lots should be designed so that there will be no unreasonable difficulties due to topography, flooding, high water table, sewage disposal, storm water control, configuration, inadequate access, or for any other reason.
(b) For health and safety of the residents, residential lot should to the greatest extent possible front on residential streets.
(c) All lots should be designed with sufficient access to afford a reasonable means of entry or exit for emergency vehicles as well as others needing access to the property.
(d) Lot dimensions shall conform to:
(1) The requirements of the Zoning Ordinance; and
(2) The requirements of Article 1379, Utilities and Drainage, with respect to individual sewerage systems when service from an acceptable sewerage system is not available or feasible.
(e) The depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for business or industrial purposes shall be adequate for off-street service and parking facilities required by the use and development contemplated.
(f) Side Lot Lines. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street line.
(g) Corner Lots. Corner lots for residential use shall have sufficient width to permit appropriate setback from and orientation to both streets.
(h) Reverse Frontage Lots. Double frontage or reverse frontage lots, also known as through lots, should be avoided except where essential to provide separation of residential developments from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planted screen of at least ten feet, across which there shall be no right of access, shall be provided along the street lines of lots abutting such a traffic artery or other similar use.
