(1) Lot arrangement, design, and shape shall result in lots that will provide a compact body of land for buildings and be properly related to topography. Lots shall not contain peculiarly shaped elongations solely to provide necessary square footage, lot depth or lot width which would be unusable for normal purposes. The buildable area shall meet all requirements of Title 14, Provo City Code and be identified on each new lot or parcel created.

(2) All lots shown on a development plan shall conform to the minimum requirements of Title 14 for the zone in which the development is located unless developed as an open space subdivision.

(3) Each lot shall abut a street dedicated by the development plan, or an existing publicly dedicated street.

(4) Corner lots shall have dimensions sufficient for the maintenance of required building setback lines on both streets, along with sufficient area to comply with area requirements of Title 14. The width of a corner lot shall be measured in the same manner as the interior lot adjacent to it (narrowest dimension) regardless of how a structure may be situated on the lot.

(5) All remnants of lots below minimum size, left over after subdividing a larger tract, shall be attached to adjacent lots or included as part of open space areas, and evidence of such attachment submitted prior to the approval of the final plat.

(6) Where land covered by a development includes two (2) or more parcels in separate ownership and the lot arrangement is such that a property ownership line divides on one (1) or more lots, the land in each lot so divided shall be transferred by deed to single ownership before approval of the final plat, and such transfer recorded in the Utah County Recorder’s office before being certified to the Planning Commission by the developer.

(7) Easements of not less than eight (8) feet in width shall be required on all lot lines or as necessary for the installation of poles, wire, conduits, storm or sanitary sewers, sidewalks, gas and water mains, and other public utilities. Easements of greater width may be required along property lines where necessary for surface overflow or for the extension of main sewers or similar utilities. Joint location of utility facilities is encouraged so that the provision of utility easements may be kept to a minimum.
