3. 
The maximum depth of residential lots shall not exceed three (3) times the width thereof.

7. 
Every lot shall abut on a public street other than an alley.
8. 
Where possible, residential lots should not face on arterial streets. The number of lots facing on collector streets shall be kept to a minimum in each subdivision. The street pattern shall be designed so that the side lines of lots abut collector streets wherever land shapes and topography permit.

D. 
In order to insure proper development of the subdivision, completion of improvements, utilities and streets in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter, the developer shall post with the Commission a surety performance bond or letter of credit, running to the City of Kimberling City, written by a professional bonding company or other surety acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission, sufficient to cover the cost of such improvements as estimated by the officials having jurisdiction.
