ts which are abbrobriate for their location and suitable for residential development often have: a. side lot lines that are ap�roximatel�perpendicular or radial to front the lot line(s) of the parcel(s) bein� subdivided, or b. side lot lines that are a�proximatel�parallel to the side lot line(s) of the parcel(s) being subdivided, or c. side lot lines that are both a�prorimatel�erpendicular or radial to the front lot line(s) and approxiinately parallel to the side lot line(s) of the parcel(s) bein� subdivided. 2 It is acknowledged, ho�vever, that propertyboundaries represent the limits of propertv ownership, and subdivision applicants often cannot chanQe those boundaries to inake them more regular if the boundaries have compleY or unusual ali�mnents. Subdivisions of such irre�ularl -�ped parcels may be considered, but the shapes of proposed new lots miaht be found to be too irre�ular, and conseauentiv, atiblications can be denied for failin� to confonn adeauatelv to the purposes for which simple, re�ular parcel shapes are considered most appropriate and suitable for residential development. 3. F1aQ lots, which abut a street with a relatively narrow strip of land (i.e., the "flag pole") that passes beside a neighborinQ parcel and have the bulk of land area (i.e., the "flag,") located behind that neighborin�parcel, are not permitted, because the fla� pole does not meet the required minimum lot ��idth accordinQ to the standard rneasureinent procedure. �F: Double frontage lots shall not be pennitted, eYcept: Where lots back upon a thoroughfare, in which case vehicular and pedestrian access between the lots and the thoroughfare shall be prohibited, and (Ord. 216, 7- 5-1956) 2. Where topographic or other conditions render subdividing otherwise unreasonable. Such double frontage lots shall have an additional depth of at least twenty (20) feet greater than the minimum in order to allow space for a protective screen planting along the back lot line and also in such instances vehicular and pedestrian access between lots and the thoroughfare shall be prohibited. (Ord. 245, 5-101958) �G: Lots abutting upon a water course, drainage way, channel or stream shall have an additional depth or width as required to assure house sites that meet shoreland ordinance requirements and that are not subject to flooding. �H: In the subdividing of any land, due 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 value to the proposed development. (Ord. 216, 7-5-1956; amd. 1995 Code) --
