(B) On curving streets and cul-de-sacs, the required frontages
of lots may be reduced by forty percent (40%), provided the
center line radius of the adjacent street is one hundred
(100) feet or less. Each lot fronting on a cul-de-sac shall
have at least twenty-five (25) feet frontage.
(C) The following dimensions, yard, and lot area shall apply to
flag lot subdivisions. Also see Section 172.021(C) for
subdivision regulations which pertain to flag lots.
(1) The minimum lot area for the front lot and for the flag
lot (not including that portion included in the "pole")
shall be as required for the lot area per zoning
districts as set forth in subsection (A) above.
(2.) The minimum lot depth for the front lot and for the
flag lot (not including that portion included in the
"pole") shall be as required for the depth per zoning
districts as set forth in subsection (A) above.
(3) The minimum lot width for the flag lo{ shall be as
required for the width per zoning districts as set
forth in subsection (A) above. The minimum lot width
for the front lot shall not be less than the allowed
frontage.
(4) The minimum frontage for the flag lot shall be twen-
ty-five feet (25'). This frontage shall be the width
of the "pole" portion of the lot. This frontage may be
greater than twenty-five feet (25'), but it shall not
exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the combined
frontage of the pole and the front lot. The minimum
frontage of the front lot shall be the minimum frontage
for the zoning district as set forth in subsection (A)
above, less twenty-five feet (25').
(NOTE: The practical effect of the above requirement
is that a flag lot subdivision must have, at least, a
minimum frontage of one hundred feet (lO0') even if the
zoning is R-lA.)
(5) The setback requirements of Section 173.095 shall apply
to the front lot as they apply to a standard lot. They
shall apply to the flag portion of the lot as if the
common boundary between the flag and the front lot were
frontage. However, the Planning and Zoning Board may,
after public hearing (see subsection (6) below), alter
the location of the yards so that the front yard is
measured from the extension of the outside boundary of
the pole.
(6) In that these provisions for a flag lot subdivision
allow for a reduction of frontage and lot width, and
may allow for a reorientation of yard relationships to
adjacent properties, the action of the Planning and
Zoning Board upon the required preliminary plat shall
be proceeded by a public hearing which shall be noticed
pursuant to Code Section 173.917(2).
(7) Following the public hearing, per subsection (6) above,
the Planning and Zoning Board shall approve, deny, or
approve with conditions the preliminary plat. However,
in order to approve, or approve with conditions, the'
Board must make a finding that the proposed subdivision
is harmonious with the existing development and
character of adjacent properties, nearby properties and
the neighborhood in general,
(8) Notwithstanding the previous provisions of this
subsection (C), flag lots and flag lot subdivisions
shall not be permitted in that geographic area located
east of State Road A-l-A.
