• • 47 (10) Gradingfor drainage. Lots shall be graded so as to provide drainage away from building locations and shall conform to the approved final grading plan. Storm water drainage from an improved lot shall not be directed at an adjoining property at a rate above a predevelopment condition except where drainage is directed to a designed drainage easement. (11) Features. In the subdividing of any land, due regard shall be shown for all natural features, such as tree growth, water courses, historic places or similar conditions which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed development. (12) Frontage on 2 streets. Double frontage or lots with frontage on 2 parallel streets shall not be permitted except where lots back on major collector or arterial streets, city or state highways, or where topographic or other conditions render subdividing otherwise unreasonable. Additional lot depth and a landscaped buffer yard shall be provided where a lot backs onto a major collector or arterial street. (13) Irregular shaped lots. On single - family residential lots determined to be irregular in shape (for example, triangular), the developer shall demonstrate to the city an ability to properly place principal buildings and accessory structures upon the site which are compatible in size and character to the surrounding area. (14) Building expansion. All single family residential lots shall be designed in consideration of potentials for buildings accommodating garages, porches and decks, and the like without need for setback variance. The buildings and structures are to be compatible in size and character with the surrounding area. (15) Lot remnants /outlots. All remnants of lots below minimum lot size left over after subdividing a larger tract must be added to adjacent lots rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels. Outlots may be platted within a subdivision to delineate future development phases or commonly owned open spaces. The outlet shall be sized in a manner to accommodate its intended use. An outlot shall be platted into a lot and block prior to issuance of a building permit. No building permits shall be issued for an outlot except for open air structures allowed as a recreational component in an open space area.
