A "backlot" is defined as: <br />A lot typically separated from a public or private road by another lot and which gains access to the <br />public or private road via a narrow corridor. Such a separated lot is considered to be a "back lot" <br />when the corridor is platted as an outlot . A separated lot is considered to be a "flag lot" when the <br />corridor is platted as part of the lot. When the corridor is merely an easement over another lot, the <br />separated lot is considered to be an "easement back lot". <br />Originally in the sketch plan review, the existing residence was platted as a flag lot.
