Sec. 32-29. Lot planning.
A. Lot width, depth, and area shall comply with the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and shall be appropriate for the location and character of development proposed, and for the type and extent of street and utility improvements being installed. In general, urban density of three or more lots per gross acre must have urban street and utility improvements. Urban street and utility improvements is interpreted to mean paved and curb streets, sidewalks, local storm drainage systems, underground streetlights, public sanitary sewerage and public water.
B. Proposed streets shall be arranged in close relation to existing topography. Where steep topography prevails, as in the platting of hillside subdivisions, and where street grades must of necessity reach or exceed the standard maximums, the standards and requirements of Section 32-32 may be followed.
C.
1. Lot depth for residential zoned lots shall conform to the Zoning Ordinance requirements for the selected development option and the depth-to-width ratio of the usable area of the lot not greater than three to one.
2. Lot depth for both commercial and industrial zoned lots should be the depth-to-width ratio of usable area of the lot not greater than four to one.
3. A "subdivision setback exhibit" shall be submitted with the average lot subdivision to show the location of the setbacks; no setbacks will be placed on the plat. However, a note on the plat will reference that the plat is an average lot subdivision and that the front and rear setbacks are shown on the approved setback exhibit, and where the public may review same.
4. The Subdivision Committee may modify the requirements of this subsection (C) where there exist extraordinary conditions of topography, land ownership, adjacent ownership or other circumstances not provided for in these regulations.
D. Minimum front building setback lines shall conform to the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
E. Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines, except where there exist extraordinary conditions of geometry, topography, land ownership, adjacent ownership or other circumstances not provided for in these regulations, then the Subdivision Committee may make modifications.
F. Every lot shall abut upon a public street (or private accessway if PRD option) as approved by the Subdivision Committee furnishing satisfactory access thereto.
G. Single-family residential lots extending through the block and having frontage on two parallel streets shall not be permitted; backing of lots to thoroughfares shall be prohibited except where expressly permitted in accordance with Section 32-26(G) of these regulations, or where there exist extraordinary conditions of geometry, topography, land ownership, adjacent ownership or other circumstances not provided for in these regulations, then the Subdivision Committee may make modifications.
