1. The lot arrangement, design and shape will be such that lots will provide satisfactory and desirable sites for buildings, and be properly related to topography, and conform to requirements set forth herein. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped elongations solely to provide necessary square footage which would be unusable for normal purposes.
2. All lots shown on the subdivision plat must conform to the minimum requirements of the zoning ordinance, if any, then in effect for the zone in which the subdivision is located, and to the minimum requirements of the county health department for water supply and sewage disposal. The minimum width for any residential building lot shall be as required by the zoning ordinance then in effect for zoned areas.
3. Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles, or radial to the street line.
4. All remnants of lots below minimum size left over after subdividing a large tract must be added to adjacent lots rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels.
5. Where the land covered by a subdivision includes two or more parcels in separate ownership and the 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 either single ownership before approval of the final plat, and such transfer certified to the planning commission by the recorder.
6. Minimum Lot Frontage Required. Every lot shall have frontage upon a dedicated or publicly approved road or street, or right-of-way providing direct access to a dedicated or publicly approved road or street. The required lot frontage shall be not less than the minimum lot width requirement as measured at the minimum front yard setback, as required by the zoning ordinance in which the lot is located.
7. Corner Lots. Reference the Fountain Green City Land Use Ordinances: a. Chapter 7 (Zone Districts and Standards) for setback requirements, b. Chapter 11 (General Design Standards for Construction & Development in Fountain Green City) 1. section 2 (Lot Standards), and 2. section 7B (Sight Triangle Standards for clear vision requirements.
