In addition to the area and width requirements as specified in Chapter 165, Zoning, lots shall be arranged in order that the considerations set out in this article are satisfied.
The lot arrangement, design and shape shall
be such that lots will provide satisfactory and desirable sites for
buildings and be properly related to topography and conform to the
requirements of this chapter. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped
elongations solely to provide necessary square footage of areas which
would be unusable for normal purposes.
Each lot shall abut on a street dedicated by
the subdivision plat or on an existing publicly dedicated street or
on a street which has become public by right of use. If the existing
streets are not 50 feet in width, the subdivider shall make such provisions
in the deeds to the lots for all buildings to be so constructed as
to permit the widening by dedication of such roads or streets to a
width of 50 feet.
Corner lots shall have extra width sufficient
for maintenance of any required building lines on both streets as
determined by the agent.
Side lines of lots shall be approximately at
right angles or radial to the street line.
All remnants of lots below minimum size left
over after subdividing of a tract must be added to adjacent lots or
otherwise disposed of rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels.
Where the land covered by a subdivision includes
two or more parcels in separate ownership and lot arrangement is such
that a property ownership line divides one or more lots, the land
in each lot so divided shall be transferred by deed to single ownership,
simultaneously with the recording of the final plat. Such deed is
to be deposited with the Clerk of the Court and held with the final
plat until the subdivider is ready to record the same, and they both
shall then be recorded together.
Lots intended for business or industrial use
shall be designed specifically for such purposes, with adequate space
set aside for off-street parking and delivery facilities.
