(d) AEvery lot shall havebe at least 50 feet of frontage wide exclusive of side yards setbacks required in the zone in which the lot is located, measured at the right-of-way line, but provided that no lot shall also have measure at least less than 60 feet of frontagewide measured at the right-of-way line. (e) A lLots that fronts on a cul-de-sac, whose side lines are approximately radial to the center of thea cul-de-sac or a lot that fronts at the center of the intersection of two dead end roads shall have at least 33 feet of frontage measured at the right-of-way line. (f) A pPanhandle-shaped lots shall have a minimum frontage of 24 feet on a dedicated road or private easement road except where the panhandle portion of two panhandle-shaped lots are adjacent to one another, in which case each shall have a minimum frontage of 20 feet on a dedicated road or private easement road. Panhandles may not serve as access to any lot except the lot of which the said panhandle is a part. nor shall any The panhandle portion of a lot shall not be have a longer length of more than two-thirds of the distance from the road on which the panhandle fronts to the rear lot line. (g) A tThrough lots shall not be allowed unless the property owner relinquishes vehicular access rights are relinquished to one of the abutting roads.

(h) The side lines of each all lots shall be at approximately right angles or radial to the road upon which the lots fronts with a maximum deviation of up to 10 degrees for a minimum distance of 1/3 of the lot depth. allowed.

(i) A lLot depth shall be designed so the lot is at least 90 feet deep and the average lot depth, excluding any areas encumbered by any open space, drainage, flood control or right-of-way easement, shall be not be greater than three times the average lot width.

A finding that compliance cannot be accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social and technological factors.

Page 57: CHAPTER 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS* *Cross

iv. A finding that it is infeasible to comply due topographic conditions on or surrounding the land being subdivided, the configuration or orientation of the property being subdivided or existing road patterns contiguous to the subject property. v. A finding that the nature of the existing or allowed future development contiguous to the subject property precludes adequate solar access to specific lots. (2) For purposes of this section, a tentative map or tentative parcel map is "received" on the date when the applicable fees are paid and map is stamped "received" by the Department.

(p) A subdivision shall be designed so that no lot shall be bisected by a road. (q) A subdivision shall be designed so that a street providing access to a parcel located on a subdivision boundary, shall not terminate in a cul-de-sac when it is feasible for the street to serve as a through street connecting the subdivision to a street or road easement in an existing or proposed, adjacent subdivision. If there is no street or road easement on the adjacent property the street or road easement shall be designed to allow a connection to an adjacent property should the adjacent property be developed in the future. If there is an irrevocable offer of dedication or rejected offer of dedication for a street on the adjacent property, the subdivision shall be designed so that a street that serves a lot located on a subdivision boundary shall be able to connect to a street on an adjacent property if the County accepts the irrevocable offer of dedication or rejected offer of dedication. As used in this subsection, “feasible” means that construction of a through street is not limited by any of the following: (1) Topographical or other physical constraints. (2) Conditions that would result in a significant impact on the environment. (3) Utility easements or other similar title constraints.
