28 similar access. Extension of roads, railroad access right-of-way, and utilities shall be provided as necessary. (B) Lots. (1) Area. The minimum lot area, width, and depth shall not be less than that established by the zoning code in effect at the time of adoption of the final plat. (2) Corner lots. Corner lots for residential use shall have additional width to permit appropriate building setback from both streets as required in the zoning code. (3) Side lot lines. Side lines of lots shall be approximately at right angles to street lines or radial to curved street lines. (4) Frontage. Every lot must have a minimum frontage on a public street accepted for maintenance purposes by the City (or to be accepted upon completion of construction by the applicant), other than an alley, as required in the zoning code. No subdivision shall be permitted which will result in a lot with less than the minimum frontage on a public street as required by the zoning code except where a variance is granted as provided by this chapter. In no case shall a variance to this frontage requirement be granted which would permit access to a lot by means of an easement or private road except as provided in § 153.101. (5) Setback lines. Setback or building lines shall be shown on all lots intended for residential use and shall not be less than the setback required by the zoning code. (6) Water courses. Lots abutting a water course, wetlands, drainage way, channel, or stream shall have additional depth and width, as required under the provisions of the zoning code for the shoreland and wetland system districts. (7) Features. In the subdividing of any land, due regard shall be shown in the proposed design for all natural features, such as tree growth, water courses, wetlands, historic spots, or similar conditions which, if preserved, will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed development. (8) Lot remnants. All remnants of lots below minimum size left over after subdividing of a larger tract must be added to adjacent lots or planned as outlots, rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels. (9) Frontage on 2 streets. Double frontage, or lots with frontage on 2 parallel streets, shall not be permitted except where lots back on arterial streets or highways, or where topographic or other conditions render subdividing otherwise unreasonable. Double frontage lots shall have an additional depth of at least 20 feet in order to allow space for screen planting along the back lot line. (10) Turn-around access. Where proposed residential lots abut a collector or arterial street, they should be designed and platted in a manner as to encourage turn-around access and egress on each lot. (11) Minimum lot line. No lot shall have a total width at the front or rear lot line of less than 30 feet. (12) Large lot planning. In any area where lots are platted in excess of 24,000 square feet or 160 feet in width at the minimum building setback line, a preliminary resubdivision plan may
