Except as provided in this Ordinance and existing non-conforming lots or lots intended to be created, shall have such area, frontage, width and depth as is required by the Ordinance for the district in which said lot is located and shall have frontage upon a dedicated or publicly approved street or upon a private street or right-of way approved by the Leeds Planning Commission, before a building permit may be issued 4.3.2. Flag Lot. 4.3.2.1. The use of flag lots should be avoided, if at all possible, and never included in a new development. New developments should be laid out in a manner where flag lots are not included. 4.3.2.2. The existing lots within Leeds, at the time this Ordinance went into effect, are the only lots that will be considered for flag lots. These existing lots can be subdivided to create a flag lot only after determination by the Planning Commission that a standard lot is not feasible. The Planning Commission may, in order to encourage more efficient use of land, recommend a flag lot to be developed subject to the following conditions: 4.3.2.2.1. Property cannot be subdivided with typical public street frontage either at the present time or in the foreseeable future. 4.3.2.2.2. The staff portion of said lot shall front on a dedicated public street. The minimum width of the staff shall be 12 (twelve) feet with 2 (two) feet unobstructed width on each side. The staff portion shall provide access only to a single family dwelling. If under unusual conditions, the staff portion provides access to two (2) single-family dwellings then the staff portion must be twenty-five (25) feet wide. 4.3.2.2.3. No building or construction except for driveway shall be allowed on the staff portion of said lot. 4.3.2.2.4. All lot area and setback requirements shall be the same as are required by the zone in which the lot is located. The staff portion of the lot shall not be used to calculate the minimum lot size. The lot must be of such shape that all setback requirements shall be complied with if a structure were to be built on said lot.
