Land Development Standards The side lot lines of lots shall generally be at fight angles to straight street lines, and radial to crowed street lines, unless a deviation from this general standard would provide a better street and lot plan in the judgment of the Plan Commission. The minimum lot x~id~ as defined in Chapter 34, "Zoning," is measured along the front building setback line. In no case shall the width of the lot, as measured along the street right-of-way line, be less than fifty (50) percent of the minimum lot width. Through lots should be avoided, except where necessary to provide separation of the subdivision from major or secondar?' streets, or as otherwise required by topography or similar conditions. Through lots shall have driveway access only from the internal residential (local) street, unless it is impractical to do so because of topography or similar conditions. 2. Corner Lots: Corner lots shall have adequate width to permit the required building setback lines from both streets (see Article 4, of Chapter 34, "Zoning"). Comer lots, located at the intersection of a collec- tor street and a residential (mino0 street, shall have driveway access from the residential (local) street, unless it is impractical to do so because of topography or similar conditions. Driveways shall be located as far from the street intersection as practical and shall not be located ~ithin the area described in Article 5, Section 34-65 of Chapter 34, "Zoning" (visibili~' at intersections). 3.
