3. Frontage On Public Street: Each lot shall have frontage on a public street dedicated by the subdivision plat, or an existing publicly dedicated street, or on a street which has become public by right of use and is at least seventy five feet (75') wide. Interior lots having frontage on two (2) streets shall be prohibited, except where unusual conditions make any other design undesirable. (Ord. 86-3, 3-11-1986)
4. Area And Width: Each lot shall have not less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet in area and be not less than seventy five feet (75') wide. (Ord. 86-3, 3-11-1986; amd. 2004 Code)

7. Remnants Of Lots: Remnants of lots less than the minimum size required by zoning after the subdividing of a larger tract shall be added to adjacent lots rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels. In no event shall the subdivision of land create a lot which does not conform to the subdivision requirements of the city.
8. Ownership: Where the land included in a subdivision includes two (2) or more parcels in separate ownership and the lot arrangement is such that a property ownership line divides one or more lots, the land in each lot so divided shall be transferred by deed to either single or joint ownership before the approval of the final plat, and such transfer certified to the planning commission by the county recorder.

Natural Drainage And Other Easements: The planning commission shall, unless waived for good and sufficient cause, require that easements for storm water drainage through a subdivision and adjoining property be provided by the subdivider; and easements of not less than fifteen feet (15') in width for water, sewers, drainage, power lines and other utilities shall be provided in the subdivision. Where natural drainage channels controlled by the state engineer and/or U.S. corps of engineers cross a subdivision, the subdivider must obtain the necessary permits to modify such drainage facilities from the appropriate agencies.
