§ 113-80. Lots.

(a)

Insofar as practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines. Each lot must front upon a public street or road which has a right-of-way not less than 50 feet in width.

(b)

The size, shape and orientation of lots shall be such as the planning commission deems appropriate for the type of development and use contemplated. Where a public sanitary sewer is reasonably accessible, the subdivider may be required to connect with such sewer and provide a connection to each lot. Nothing herein shall repeal any other ordinances or regulations regarding sewer connections. Where a public sanitary sewer is not accessible, an alternate method of sewage disposal may be used, when meeting all applicable public health regulations, laws or ordinances. Residential lots served by a public sewerage system shall not be less than 50 feet wide at the building setback lines. Lots on a cul-de-sac may be allowed with less than 50 feet if approved by the city planning commission.

(c)

Setback lines and minimum square footage for residential buildings shall meet the requirements as set forth for R-1, R-2 and R-3 zonings for residential buildings shall be at least 20 feet from the front lot lines. Corner lots shall have a setback from side street lot lines of at least 20 feet.
