2. A lot shall not be divided by a road, alley, or other lot.
3. No wedge-shaped lot shall be less than thirty feet (30') in width at the front property line, or the lot frontage required in the zoning district, whichever is larger.
4. Side lot lines shall be at right angles or radial to street lines, except where justified by the subdivider and approved by the planning commission.
5. Double Frontage Lots. All residential lots in subdivisions shall front on a public street. Required frontage shall not be considered to be provided if vehicular access across the street line is prohibited. Frontage on lots having a front lot line on more than one (1) street, shall be measured on one (1) street only. Double frontage lots are prohibited unless approved by the planning commission for any of the following reasons:
a. Topography.
b. Residential lots in subdivisions or existing parcels where the rear yard abuts arterial or collector streets as identified on the Lindon City Street Master Plan Map. Such double frontage lots shall be accessed from internal local streets only as identified on the Lindon City Street Master Plan Map. Concrete, curbing, landscaping or landscape rock shall be installed at the base of the fence and extend to the sidewalk to prevent weeds from growing and protruding under the fence and into the public right-of-way. All clear-view requirements shall be met for fencing.
c. Combining of two (2) residential lots or parcels and where the property would be accessed from two (2) local streets as identified on the Lindon City Street Master Plan Map. As part of the approval, a wall or view obstructing fence is allowed when the fence is set back ten feet (10') from the sidewalk, meets clear-view requirements, the setback is landscaped, and a gate is installed for landscape maintenance and snow removal. When a non-view obstructing fence is placed on the rear property line, concrete, curbing, landscaping or landscape rock shall be installed at the base of the fence and shall extend to the sidewalk to prevent weeds from growing and protruding under the fence and into the public right-of-way. Building structures shall be set back thirty feet (30') from the rear property line. Vehicle access to the rear yard is allowed when the requirements of this section are met.
d. For double frontage lots zoned commercial or industrial, access shall be from arterial or collector streets only. Emergency access to a local street, as identified on the Lindon City Street Master Plan Map, may be considered by the land use authority when required for emergency access.
The city shall designate both front and rear yards for double frontage lots. Typically, the front yard shall follow the prevailing orientation of designated front yards of other buildings on the street.
Where the double frontage lot is also a corner lot (three (3) frontages) the required fence clear view across corner property shall follow Section 17.04.310 at street intersections at both the front and rear of the lot.
The street frontage abutting the rear of any approved double frontage lot shall be improved in accordance with the standards set forth in the Lindon City Development Manual and city ordinances.
