§ 18-5. Standards for lot development.

(a)

Lot dimensions shall:

(1)

Comply with the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance;

(2)

Be sufficient to allow for yard or setback requirements on any and all sides;

(3)

Provide for off-street parking and loading for the intended use of the lot as required by the Zoning Ordinance.

(b)

Reserved.

(c)

All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to straight street lines, or radial to curved street lines, unless a variation to this rule will give a better street and lot plan.

(d)

Corner lots shall have extra width to permit the establishment of front building setback lines, on both the front and the side of the lots adjoining the streets, irrespective of whether the rear lot lines of the corner lots abut lots fronting on the side streets. This extra width shall allow for the established setback in a neighborhood or zoning regulations setbacks, whichever is more restrictive.

(e)

Lots on major street intersections and at all acute angle intersections which, in the opinion of the council, are likely to be dangerous to the traffic movement shall have a radius of twenty (20) feet at the street corner, where grade separate structures are proposed at the intersection of major streets, the lots and improvements in the subdivision shall be arranged so as to make adequate provision for the structures.

(f)

Double or reversed frontage lots are to be avoided. Their use is restricted to providing separation of residential development from arterial streets or to overcome other specific disadvantages of lot orientation.

(g)

Lot arrangement shall allow for driveway access to streets in conformity with applicable regulations.

(h)

Residential lots shall not generally derive access from an arterial street. Where such access is necessary for commercial, industrial or multi family residential uses, the number of access points shall be minimized to limit traffic hazards. Driveways providing access from arterial streets shall be arranged to avoid the need for vehicles to back into the street to exit.

(i)

Grading of lots shall be sufficient to:

(1)

Provide drainage away from all adjacent structures

(2)

Avoid concentration of storm water on any lot

(3)

Provide for access of surface water runoff to a drainage outfall without the reliance on surface drainage across adjacent lots without the provision of dedicated drainage easements

(j)

No construction debris or other waste material shall be buried on site or left deposited on any lot or other surfaces of the development.

(k)

Fences shall be installed by the developer to provide protection from adjacent hazardous locations, if determined to be present.

(l)

The development's deed restrictions or covenants shall prevent the diversion of surface water runoff from the manner indicated in the approved plan.
