Lots.
Southaven Code of Ordinances § 13-18(c)
in effectSec. 13-18(c). - Lots.
(a) The lot arrangement and design shall be such that all lots will provide satisfactory and desirable building sites, properly related to topography and to the character of surrounding development.
(b) The minimum lot area and lot width, measured at the building lines, shall conform to the requirements of this title for the applicable zoning district.
(c) No lot shall have a depth in excess of four (4) times its width; however, this requirement may be waived by the planning commission if the subdivider can demonstrate this requirement is not appropriate for the type of development and use contemplated.
(d) All side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines and radial to curved street lines except where a variation of this rule will provide a better street and lot layout as approved by the planning commission.
(e) Corner lots shall have a width sufficient to permit the establishment of front building lines on both the adjoining streets without reducing the buildable width below that of the average sized lot in the subdivision.
(f) Reverse frontage lots shall be prohibited except where essential as determined by the planning commission to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography. In such cases, additional depth including a planting screen reservation of a minimum of ten (10) feet in width, and across which there shall be no right of access, shall be provided along the line of lots abutting such uses. A statement dissolving the right of access of lots to the urban arterial street shall be included on the final plat.
(g) Property line radii at street intersections shall not be less than twenty (20) feet.
