§ 60.128. Flag Lots.

When deemed necessary to achieve creative planning, to eliminate accesses to collector or thoroughfare streets, preservation of natural amenities or important historical or archeological values, the Planning Official may approve flag lots, but only in residential developments approved in accordance with Chapter 65, Part 2H, and provided the following conditions are satisfied:

Rules for Abutting or Stacking. No flag lot shall abut more than one other flag lot, nor shall flag lots be double stacked across a common street.

Limitation on Number. In no instance shall flag lots constitute more than 10% of the total number of building sites in a given development, or 3 lots (whichever is more).

Calculation of Lot Area. The lot area occupied by the flag driveway shall not be counted as part of the required minimum lot area (see illustration).

Driveway Length. No flag driveway shall be longer than 150 feet.

Collector and Thoroughfare Access. Flag lots shall not be permitted whenever their effect would be to increase the number of building sites taking driveway access to a Collector or arterial Street.
