§ 142-31. Lots and building sites.

In addition to the area and width requirements contained in Chapter 165, Zoning, lots shall be arranged in order that the following considerations are satisfied:

A. 

Shape. 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 requirements of this chapter. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped elongations solely to provide necessary square footage of area which would be unusable for normal purposes.

B. 

Location. Each lot shall abut on a street created by the subdivision plat, or on an existing street, except in one- and two-lot subdivisions as approved by the agent. If the existing streets are not 50 feet in width, the subdivider shall make provisions in the deeds to the lots so as to permit the widening by dedication of such roads or streets to a width of 50 feet.

C. 

Corner lots. Corner lots shall have extra width sufficient for maintenance of any required building lines on both streets pursuant to Chapter 165, Zoning.

D. 

Building setback lines. Building setback lines shall be shown on all plats, at a minimum distance not less than that required by Chapter 165, Zoning.

E. 

Side lines. Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles or radial to the street lines.

F. 

Remnants. 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.

G. 

Separate ownership. 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.
