July 20, 2020 page 41 The granting of easements which purport to grant access to the lake to any person for any uses, 1766 including but not limited to docking, mooring, swimming and launching of boats, is prohibited and shall 1767 be deemed a violation of this chapter and subject to all of the penalties and proceedings as set forth in this 1768 chapter. 1769 Exception. An owner of a riparian lot within the Seasonal Recreational (RS) zoning 1770 district may grant an easement over their riparian, RS zoned property to benefit a non -riparian, RS 1771 zoned property for lake access purposes. 1772 1773 Sec. 82-256. - Double-frontage lots, access to lots, and front/back lot divisions. 1774 (a) Double-frontage lots. Double-frontage and reversed-frontage lots shall be avoided except where 1775 necessary to provide separation of residential development from traffic arterials or to overcome 1776 specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. 1777 (b) Access from any arterial roadway. Lots shall not, in general, derive access exclusively from an arterial 1778 roadway. Where driveway access from any arterial roadway may be necessary for several adjoining 1779 lots, the council may require that such lots be served by a combined access drive in order to limit 1780 possible traffic hazard on such roadway. Where possible, driveways shall be designed and arranged so 1781 as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on any arterial roadway. 1782 (c) Front/back lot subdivisions. Flag lots and easement back lots shall not be created. For the purposes 1783 of this chapter, a flag lot shall be defined as a lot so shaped such that the main building site is set back 1784 from the street on which it fronts and includes an access strip connecting the main building site with 1785 the fronting street. Front/back lot divisions shall be allowed only in conjunction with the creation of 1786 a separate n outlot to provide access from the back lot to the public or private road. Such outlot shall 1787 not be allowed as creditable lot area for either the back or front lots. Front/back lot subdivisions shall 1788 adhere to the following standards: 1789 (1) Applicability. 1790 a. Front/back lot divisions may be used when existing property dimensions are narrow and 1791 deep, such that lot width does not allow for a side-by-side lot split, but acreage is adequate 1792 to provide a front lot and a back lot without requiring an area variance when the area of the 1793 outlot access corridor is excluded. 1794 b. Front/back lot divisions may be used for individual lot splits but may not be used when 1795 subdividing a large parcel into numerous lots if creation of a back lot is merely a convenience 1796 to the developer rather than supported by unique site factors. 1797 c. A front/back lot division shall not be allowed when any existing residence on a neighboring 1798 property abutting the proposed access outlot is located nearer its affected side lot line than a 1799 distance equivalent to the zoning district required front yard depth. 1800 (2) Dimensional standards. Dimensional standards for back lots shall be as follows: 1801 a. Lot area shall be 150 percent of the zoning district requirement. Wetlands may be allowed 1802 as area credit for meeting the 150 percent back lot area requirement, as long as the back lot 1803 contains sufficient contiguous dry buildable land to satisfy the minimum acreage 1804 requirement of the underlying zoning district. 1805 b. Lot width measured parallel to the front or street lot line at the street yard setback line of a 1806 lakeshore back lot, or at the rear of the front yard setback line of a non -lakeshore back lot, 1807 shall meet the zoning district width requirement. The street yard or front yard for any back 1808 lot will be a yard starting where the narrow access outlot corridor ends and the lot begins. 1809 Commented [JB107]: Added in 2020.
