§ 200-61. Lots.

A. 

Lot size. Minimum lot size shall be governed by the provisions of Part 4, Zoning, of this chapter, based on the zoning district in which the lot is located.

B. 

Lot and house numbers. House and lot numbers shall be assigned each lot by the Township Engineer.

C. 

Side lot lines. Insofar as is practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight streets and radial to curved streets.

D. 

Lot frontage and width. Each lot shall front on an approved street accepted by the municipality. Frontage shall be measured along a straight line between points where side lines meet street lines, e.g., the chord of a circle in a cul-de-sac.

E. 

Lot line on widened streets. Where extra width is provided for the widening of existing streets, lot measurements shall begin at such extra width line, and all setbacks shall be measured from such line unless otherwise provided by Part 4, Zoning, of this chapter.

F. 

Unsuitable lots. All lots shall be suitable for the purpose for which they are intended to be used. In order to prevent the use of lots which are not suitable because of adverse topography, rock formations, flood conditions, the presence of wetlands or similar circumstances, the Planning Board may require such revisions in the layout of the subdivisions as will accomplish one of the following:

[Amended 4-20-1990 by Ord. No. 90-12]

(1) 

That the area of the unsuitable lots is included in other lots by increasing the size of the remaining lots.

(2) 

That it is included in an area to be deeded to the municipality and held in its natural state for conservation and/or recreation purposes.

(3) 

That some other suitable arrangement, such as common ownership made permanent by deed covenants running with the land, is made.

Editor's Note: Former Subsection G, Flag lots, as amended, which immediately followed this subsection, was repealed 9-15-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-20.
