No lot shall have less area or width than is required by zoning regulations applying to the area in which it is located; except as herein provided. 614.04. Lots designed for commercial or industrial purposes shall provide adequate off -the -street service, load- ing and parking facilities. 614.05. Building Sites. Each lot shall provide an adequate building site at least one (1) foot above the street grade. 614.06. Minimum Lot Lines. No lot shall have a total width at the front or rear lot line of less than thirty (30) feet. 614.07. Corner lots shall be platted at least twenty (20) feet wider than interior lots. 614.08. Butt lots in any subdivision are to be discouraged. Where such lots must be used to fit a particular type of design, they shall be platted at least five (5) feet wider than the average width of interior lots in the block. 614.09. Through or Double Frontage Lots. Such lots shall not be permitted except where such lots abut a thoroughfare or major highway. Such lots shall have an additional depth of ten (10) feet for screen planting along the rear lot line. 614.10. Water Courses. Lots abutting upon a water course, drainageway, channel or stream shall have an additional depth or width, as required to assure building sites that are not subject to flooding. 614.11. Lots with lakeshore frontage shall be de- signed so that the lot lines extended shall maintain the closest approximation to riparian right. 614.12. Natural Features. In the subdividing of any land, regard shall be shown for all natural features, such as tree growth, water courses, historic spots, or similar conditions, which if preserved will add attractiveness and stability to the proposed development. 614.13. Lot Remnants. All remnants of lots below minimum size left over after subdividing of a larger tract must be added to adjacent lots, or a plan shown as to future use rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels. 614.14. Access to Thoroughfares. In the case where a proposed plat is adjacent to a limited access highway, other major highway, or thoroughfare, there shall be no direct vehicular access from individual lots to such streets and roads. In the platting of small tracts of land fronting on limited access highways or thoroughfares where there is no other alternative, a temporary entrance may be granted; as neighboring land becomes subdivided and more preferable access arrangements become possible, such temporary access permits shall become void. 614.15. Political Subdivision Lines. No lot shall extend over a political subdivision boundary or school district line. 9 614.16. Large Lot Planning. In any area where lots are platted in excess of 24,000 square feet or 160 feet in width at the building setback line, a preliminary resub- division plan may be required showing a potential and feasible way in which the lot or lots may be resubdivided in future years for more intensive use of the land. The placement of buildings or structures upon such lots shall allow for potential resubdivision. SECTION 7. ENGINEERING STANDARDS 701. Monuments. 701.01. All lot corner pipes or iron rods shall be a minimum of one-half inch in diameter, 18 inches in length, and shall be inscribed with the registration number of the land surveyor making the survey as prescribed in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 505.

Streets shall be graded in accordance with a plan approved by the engineer. The grading shall include the entire width of the right-of-way and shall provide a boulevard section, in addition to the minimum pavement width. 702.02. Street Pavement. The design of street pave- ment for all streets covered by this regulation shall be in accordance with the State of Minnesota Highway Depart- ment Road Design Manual No. 5-291 for flexible pave- ments.

In all cases at least the top six (6) inches of the street surface shall be of class 5 gravel or a material as approved by the engineer. 702.04. Soil Tests. To determine subgrade soil classi- fications, soil samples shall be collected and analyzed by a reputable testing laboratory. Reports of the soil analysis shall be submitted to the engineer with the pavement plans. Soil samples shall be taken along the center line of the proposed road at intervals not exceeding 300 feet. 702.05. Curb and Gutter. Concrete curb and gutter shall be constructed on both sides of streets. The construc- tion shall be in accordance with Standard Specification for Highway Construction, M.H.D. Spec. No. 2531.
