amended 2-28-2012 by L.L. No. 2-2012]
A.
The creation of lots at a distance from a street is
prohibited. Such interior lots, commonly called “flag lots,”
provide access to a street over a narrow strip of land running from
the main portion of the lot.
B.
Legal nonconforming interior lots approved under former
Section 12-10-7 and interior lots permitted by variance are subject
to site plan review by the Planning Board. Any proposed erection,
enlargement or alteration of a building or buildings on such lot,
including swimming pools and tennis courts, must be approved by the
Planning Board.
C.
Applications for approval of a site plan under this section shall comply with all requirements imposed by the rules and regulations of the Planning Board. The Planning Board shall consider whether there is adequate provision for ingress, egress and maneuverability of waste collection trucks, fire-fighting equipment and other traffic, taking into account any existing or potential uses of the same access for other lots; whether there is adequate provision and access for a separate sewer connection and a separate water service line to each principal building complying with the requirements of Chapter 132, Building Construction and Fire Prevention, and Chapter A320, Water, of this Code; whether in other respects the lot is of such a character and location that it can be used safely for the purpose and in the manner proposed without danger to health or peril from fire, flood or other menace; whether there is any reasonable basis for assuming that a street will later be opened adjacent to any part of such lot, and if so, whether the proposed use might interfere with any such street or result in any noncompliance with the provisions of this chapter in the event that any such street will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this chapter and consistent with public health, safety and the general welfare. In approving a site plan, the Planning Board shall hold a public hearing and may impose such conditions and safeguards as it may deem appropriate to assure compliance with the purposes of this section.
