§ 5. Lots.

5.[1]

The lot size, width, depth, shape, and orientation shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated.

5.2

Lot dimensions and areas shall conform to the requirements of the zoning ordinance, where applicable, but in no case shall a lot for residential purposes in a new subdivision be less than 70 feet wide at the building line nor less than 7,500 square feet in area.

5.3

All side lot lines shall be at right angles to the straight street lines, or radial to curved street lines unless a variation to this rule will give a better street and lot plan. All residential lots shall abut on a publicly dedicated street or a permanent easement of access to a public street not less than 20 feet in width.

5.4

Double-frontage and reversed-frontage lots shall be prohibited in residential districts except where necessary to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries.

5.5

Corner lots shall have extra width sufficient to permit the establishment of front building lines on both the front and the side of the lots adjoining the streets.

5.6

Lots abutting a watercourse, drainageway, channel, or stream shall have additional minimum width or depth as required to provide an adequate building site and afford the minimum usable area required in the zoning ordinance for front, rear, and side yards.

5.7

Where lots front upon a cul-de-sac or curved road or street having a radius of 200 feet or less, the minimum width of the frontage at the lot may be measured at the building line.

5.8

The area of the street right-of-way shall not be included in calculating the area of the lot to be in accordance with the minimum lot area requirements of the zoning district in which the lot is located.

5.9

Excessive depth in relation to width shall be avoided. The depth of a lot should not exceed three times its average width.
