§ 20.07.010. Flag lots.

Flag lots are permitted to the minimum extent necessary to enable access to property where public street access is not feasible (e.g., due to site conditions or existing development) or to protect Critical Areas, when they meet the following criteria:

1.

The project is designed to minimize the creation of flag lots.

a.

The configuration of flag lost shall not be permitted to create a continuous double stacking of lots on a single roadway, and in no instance shall flag lots represent more than twenty percent of the total number of lots within a given subdivision.

b.

In no instance shall two or more flag lots served by a common driveway be contiguous to a second group of two or more flag lots served by a second common driveway.

2.

Adjoining flag lots shall share a common driveway wherever possible.

3.

All driveways accessing flag lots shall be designed to allow fire truck access to within one hundred fifty (150) feet of the residence(s) on the lot(s), unless alternate forms of fire protection approved by the fire district are provided (e.g., sprinkler systems).

4.

The area of a flag lot less than 30 feet in width shall not be deemed to be a part of the required minimum lot area specified for the district in which the lot is located.
