§ 5.2.3. Compatibility of new and existing subdivisions.

A.

Lot size variability. Lots created as part of a new or redeveloped single family detached subdivision, containing twenty (20) or more lots, shall be compatible with existing developed single family lots to which they are adjacent as described in subsection B..

B.

Compatibility of new lots with adjacent lots shall be demonstrated by at least two (2) of the following:

1.

The lot width of the new lot is at least eighty (80) percent of the lot width of an adjacent existing subdivision lot;

2.

The lot size of the new lot is at least eighty (80) percent of the lot size of an adjacent existing subdivision lot or eight-tenths (0.8) acre, whichever is less;

3.

The new lot provides a minimum transitional buffer of twenty (20) feet;

4.

The lot depth of the new lot is at least twenty (20) feet deeper than the depth of the adjacent existing lot.

C.

Calculations for measuring compatibility:

1.

Only lots with existing residential structures adjacent to the proposed development will be used in the calculation.
