2-11.2 LOT STANDARDS

1) The minimum area and dimensions of all lots shall conform to the requirements of the zone district in which the lot is located. 2) All lots or parcels created by a subdivision shall have direct access with frontage on a dedicated street improved to standards hereinafter required. Private streets shall be permitted only as recommended by the Planning Commission. Land designated as public right-of-way shall be separate and distinct from lots adjoining such right-of-way and shall not be included in the area of such lots, 3) All subdivisions shall result in the creation of lots that are developable and capable of being built upon. A subdivision shall not create lots and no building permit shall be issued for any lots that would make building or access impractical due to size, shape, steepness of terrain, location of watercourses, problems of sewerage or driveway grades, or other physical conditions, except where such lots are suitable and dedicated for a common open space, private utility or public purpose as determined by the Planning Commission. 4) The side lines of all lots, so far as possible, shall be at right angles to each street on which the lot faces, or approximately radial to the center of curvatures. Exceptions may be made to this requirement where considerations for solar orientation are involved. Corner lots for residential use shall be planned wider than interior lots in order to permit conformance with the required front setback requirements of both streets. 5) A Town boundary line shall not divide a lot. Each such boundary line shall be made on a lot line. 6) Lot numbers shall begin with the number “1” and shall continue consecutively through the subdivision with no omissions or duplications; block designations shall be optional. 7) Except as specifically authorized by this chapter, not more than one dwelling unit shall occupy any one lot. 8) No area needed to meet the minimum width, yard area, parking or other requirements of this chapter for a lot or building may be sold or leased away from such lot or building for the purpose of installing any kind of structure. 9) No portion of a lot may be cut off from another portion of a lot that has been created through a subdivision action.
