SECTION 5.07- LOT ARRANGEMENTS ON EXISTING STREETS
Lots proposed for the existing streets shall, in addition to meeting other
applicable standards of these regulations, be arranged to conform with the
following:
5.07.01
Where no street lines have been established on an existing street, front
property lines for subdivision lots shall not be closer than 25 feet from the
center of the road or 50 feet from and parallel to, an established street line
on the opposite side of the street, The Commission may require that the
title to all land between the center of the road and the front property lines of
the subdivision lots shall be dedicated to the City of Middletown in accordance
with the legal requirements for such a procedure:
- Where the grade of the existing or proposed road will be materially higher or
lower than the proposed lots fronting on it, the Commission may, for reason of
providing adequate sight distance on driveways, alleviating excessive or
hazardous slope, or excessive runoff, require any lot or any part of such lot to
be regraded as necessary to be in harmony with the road grade; and/or
- Where the finished grading of a lot
fronting on an existing street will cause drainage problems in that street,
the developer shall, at his expense, install drains in the street or make
other such provisions as may be necessary to correct the condition.
