PC Exhibit G � <br /> DEFINITIONS: <br /> Lot, back, means a lot typically separated from a public or private road by another lot and which <br /> gains access to the public or private road via a narrow corridor. Such a separated lot is <br /> considered to be a back lot when the corridor is platted as an outlot. A separated lot is considered <br /> to be a flag lot when the corridor is platted as part of the lot. When the corridor is merely an <br /> easement over another lot, the separated lot is considered to be an easement back lot. <br /> Lot,front, means a lot abutting a public or private road across which an outlot has been platted <br /> for access to a back lot. <br /> • Sec. 82-256. - Double-frontage lots, access to lots, and front/back lot divisions. <br /> (a) Double-frontage lots. Double-frontage and reversed-frontage lots shall be avoided except <br /> where necessary to provide separation of residential development from traffic arterials or to <br /> overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. <br /> (b)Access from any arterial roadway. Lots shall not, in general, derive access exclusively from <br /> an arterial roadway. Where driveway access from any arterial roadway may be necessary for <br /> several adjoining lots, the council may require that such lots be served by a combined access <br /> drive in order to limit possible traffic hazard on such roadway. Where possible, driveways shall <br /> be designed and arranged so as to avoid requiring vehicles to back into traffic on any arterial <br /> roadway. <br /> (c) <br /> Front/back lot subdivisions. Flag lots and easement back lots shall not be created. Front/back lot <br /> divisions shall be allowed only in conjunction with the creation of an outlot to provide access <br /> from the back lot to the public or private road. Such outlot shall not be allowed as creditable lot <br /> area for either the back or front lots. Front/back lot subdivisions shall adhere to the following <br /> standards: <br /> (1) Applicabilit_v. <br /> a. Frontlback lot divisions may be used when existing property dimensions are <br /> narrow and deep, such that lot width does not allow for a side-by-side lot split, but <br /> acreage is adequate to provide a front lot and a back lot without requiring an area <br /> variance when the area of the outlot access corridor is excluded. <br /> b. Front/back lot divisions may be used for individual lot splits but may not be <br /> used when subdividing a large parcel into numerous lots if creation of a back lot is <br /> merely a convenience to the developer rather than supported by unique site factors. <br /> c. A front/back lot division shall not be allowed when any existing residence on a <br /> neighboring property abutting the proposed access outlot is located nearer its affected <br /> side lot line than a distance equivalent to the zoning district required front yard depth. <br /> (2)Dimensional standards. Dimensional standards for back lots shall be as follows: <br /> a. Lot area shall be 150 percent of the zoning district requirement. Wetlands may <br /> be allowed as area credit for meeting the 150 percent back lot area requirement, as long <br />
