No lot shall hereafter be created nor any building placed on a lot which does not have access onto a public street or approved private street or way as provided in § 22-97 below. Where the access street is not open to traffic at the time of zoning permit application, or is dedicated to only a portion of the minimum width required for that street, issuance of the zoning permit may be denied or delayed until the Zoning Administrator is satisfied that:
A. 
In the case of an unopened or partially opened street, the necessary utilities, drainage, or paving will be provided in time to facilitate the development or construction authorized by the permit, as assured by execution of a developer's agreement.
B. 
In the case of a street not dedicated to its fully planned width, the zoning permit applicant has dedicated all that is required from the applicant's ownership, and that the resulting available width is sufficient to accommodate the necessary underground utilities and a street paving adequate to assure access by public emergency vehicles.
Subject to the approval of the Plan Commission, approved private streets or ways that lead to public streets may be substituted for direct public street access, provided the Commission finds that:
A. 
It is not in the public interest to require direct public street access at the time of zoning permit application.
B. 
The proposed development will not preclude provision of public street access in the future.
C. 
Permanent easements satisfactory to the Commission are recorded to ensure continued function of the approved private street or way, which easements show no liability of the Village to assume maintenance of the easement area.
D. 
Any buildings erected or other improvements made do not interfere with future provision of public streets and are located so as to be in conformance with such future streets. The Commission may require that a future street reservation be recorded to set forth the Commission's intent and ensure compliance with this section.
A. 
Minimum required. No lot shall be platted of less area or width than required by the district regulations in which the lot is placed.
B. 
Measurement of lot area. For the purposes of this chapter, the lot area shall be measured from the base setback line and shall be exclusive of the area between said line and the existing property line ultimately to be included in the street right-of-way. Wetlands and floodplains may be included in minimum required lot area, provided that there remains sufficient area not in wetland or floodplain to accommodate the proposed building, access drive and on-site sanitary system and water well where such services are not provided via off-site public utilities.
C. 
Measurement of lot width. Where a minimum lot width is specified by individual district regulations, measurements shall be applied as follows:
(1) 
Interior rectangle-shaped lots. The width shall be measured at the rear of the required setback area.
(2) 
Corner lots. The width shall be measured at the rear of the required setback area on the narrowest street side, and the district regulations may also provide that the lot width be up to 20% greater than for an interior lot in the same district.
(3) 
Interior irregular-shaped lots such as pie-shaped or L-shaped. The width specified by the district regulations for rectangular interior lot shall constitute the required minimum average width of irregular interior lots, measured at the point of average depth. Such lots shall have a minimum frontage on a street or approved way of at least 33 feet, or greater if specified in the district regulations.
D. 
Lot area reduction. No lot area shall be reduced by any means so as to create a lot of less than the required size or so that the existing setbacks, yards, open space, or lot area would be reduced below that required by the regulations for the district in which such lot is located.
