Layout of lots shall conform to modern standard
practices and shall be appropriate for the intended construction.
Corner lots shall have extra width to permit a front yard on each
street, which will be required in all new subdivisions. Wherever possible,
key lots shall be used at the narrow end of a block. Side lot lines
shall generally be at right angles to straight street lines or radial
to curved street lines. Except in cases of unusual topography or property
lines, through lots bounding on two generally parallel streets will
not be permitted.
All dead and diseased trees shall be removed from land to be dedicated to public use. Existing trees in land required for public open space, §
143-14 shall be preserved unless otherwise directed by the Commission. Existing trees shall be preserved whenever feasible, and where no trees are preserved in the front yard, each lot shall have two trees of not less than 1 1/2 inches' caliper, of a species approved by the Town Tree Warden, planted not less than 10 feet inside the sidewalk, between the sidewalk and the building line. At the request of a single lot owner other than the developer, the provision requiring two trees per lot may be waived for his lot.
