Section 607.1  General Design Standards

A.                 Lot and parcel size configuration, and/or intensity shall conform to the  requirements of the Township Zoning Ordinance.

B.                 Whenever practical, side lot lines shall be radial to street lines.

C.                 In order to avoid jurisdictional problems, lot lines shall, wherever feasible, follow municipal boundaries rather than cross them.  Where a lot is divided by a municipal boundary, the minimum standards of both municipalities shall apply.

D.                 All lots shall front on an approved public or private street and maintain a minimum lot width as required by the Township Zoning Ordinance at the building setback line and street right-of-way.

E.                  Double frontage lots are prohibited except where provided as reverse frontage lots.

1.                  Reverse frontage lots are only permitted when a reduction of driveway intersections along a street with a high volume of vehicular movements is desired.

2.                  All reverse frontage lots shall include an identification of the frontage for use as a road access.

3.                  All reverse frontage lots shall have a rear yard in accordance with the Township Zoning Ordinance, measured at the shortest distance from the proposed dwelling unit to the street right-of-way.

4.                  Reverse frontage lots shall, within each rear yard and immediately adjacent to the street right-of-way, have a planted buffer at least ten (10) feet in width, across which there shall be no vehicular access.

a.                   Buffer areas shall include a suitable and uninterrupted evergreen planting of a minimum height of thirty-six (36) inches designed to reach sufficient height and density to give maximum screening.

b.                  Such screening shall be permanently maintained and replaced where necessary to present an attractive appearance.

5.                                          Reverse frontage lots shall be approved at the sole discretion of the Township.

F.                  All remnants of land (areas remaining after subdivision) shall conform to the lot area and configuration requirements.

G.                 Metallic markers shall be set at all points where existing or proposed lot lines intersect with any street right-of-way line, curves, other property lines and any other right-of-way or easement.

1.                  Metallic markers shall consist of solid steel bars at least thirty (30) inches along and not less than one-half (½) inch in diameter.  Alternative monumentation methods will be at the discretion of the Township Engineer.

2.                  All existing and proposed markers shall be delineated on the final plan.

3.                  All markers shall be placed by a registered engineer or surveyor so that the scored or marked point shall coincide exactly with the point of intersection of the lines being marked.

Section 607.2  Flag Lots

A.                 Flag lot shall conform to the requirements of the Township Zoning Ordinance.

B.                 Flag lots shall not be created when lots can be designed that directly access a public or private street.  The Board at its sole discretion may approve the plotting of a limited number of flag lots when:

1.                  The "flagpole" or access portion of the flag lot shall maintain a minimum width of twenty-five (25) feet and shall not change direction more than once; and,

2.                  The Board may attach any reasonable conditions to the creation of flag lots as it finds necessary or desirable to provide for the orderly development of land and street systems.

Section 607.3  Specific Building Setback Requirements

A.                 On any lot abutting a railroad or railroad right-of-way, no dwelling shall be placed within twenty-five (25) feet of any portion of the railroad right-of-way.

B.                 On any lot abutting or traversed by a high voltage transmission line, no dwelling shall be placed within twenty-five (25) feet of any portion of the right-of-way.
