§ 17-6. Standards for development
(a) General requirements.
(1) Provision for future subdivision. If a proposed subdivision is divided into parcels larger than ordinary building lots, such parcels shall be arranged to allow the opening of future streets and logical future subdivisions.
(2) Reserve strips prohibited. There shall be no reserve strips controlling access to land dedicated or intended to be dedicated to public use.
(3) Buffer park strips. Where a residential subdivision adjoins a railroad right-of-way, an industrial area, a business area, or other land use, whether existing or permitted, which might have a depreciating effect on the residential use of the property, a buffer park strip, in the form of an easement, of adequate width for suitable screen planting may be required by the planning commission.
(4) Building sites. Every lot must contain a suitable building site.
(5) Trees. Valuable large trees shall be preserved wherever possible. Where the neutral ground or planting strip between the roadway and the sidewalk is provided with trees, such trees shall not be of a low bushy species that might obstruct vision. No tree or shrub or bush shall be planted in the neutral ground within forty (40) feet of the intersecting property lines at a street intersection.
(6) Uninhabitable land. Land deemed by the commission to be uninhabitable because of danger of flood or for other reasons shall not be platted for residential use nor for such other uses as may increase danger to health, life, property or aggravate the hazard, until the conditions making the land uninhabitable have been corrected. Land that is permitted to be platted shall not be considered to be guaranteed by the commission or the parish or city, as the case may be, against flood or other hazards.
(7) Neighborhood plan. If a suggested plan for the neighborhood or area in which the tract to be subdivided is located has been made by the planning commission, the street layout of the subdivision shall be in general conformance thereto.
(8) Natural and cultural features. Outstanding natural and cultural features, such as scenic spots, watercourses, and historic sites, shall be preserved insofar as possible.
(9) Variation and exceptions. Variations and exceptions from the design and dimensional standards and improvements requirements of these regulations may be made by the planning commission in cases where, owing to exceptional conditions, there are extreme difficulties or hardship in the way of carrying out the strict letter of these regulations. No variation or exception shall be made that will be detrimental to the public welfare.
(b) Lots.
(1) In a subdivision within the City of Natchitoches, the minimum lot area shall conform with the comprehensive zoning ordinance. Otherwise, lots for residential use shall be at least fifty (50) feet wide at the building setback line and shall be at least six thousand (6,000) square feet in area, except in subdivisions which are by individual water wells and septic tanks the minimum lot size in these subdivisions shall conform to the requirements established by the Health Unit.
(2) The maximum depth of any lot, exclusive of unusual land, shall be three (3) times the width of the lot.
(3) Every lot shall abut on a dedicated street for at least twenty-five (25) feet.
(4) All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to straight street lines, unless a variation to this rule will give a better street and lot plan.
(5) Corner lots shall have extra width of at least 20% to permit the establishment of greater building lines on the side of lots adjoining the side streets.
(6) Lots on major street intersections and at all acute angle intersections which, in the opinion of the planning commission are likely to be dangerous to the flow of traffic at or approaching the intersection, shall have a radius of twenty (20) feet at the street corner, or otherwise designed to provide adequate sight flare.
(7) Corner lots for residential use shall be increased in width to provide front yard distance on both streets.
(8) The shape of lots and their orientation shall be appropriate to the location of the proposed subdivision and type of development contemplated.
(9) Double frontage lots. Double frontage lots, other than corner lots, will be permitted only where unusual topography or other physical conditions make any other layout not feasible.
(10) Building lines. Each lot shall have a building setback at least twenty-five (25) feet from the front property line and, in case of a corner lot, also from the side (street) property line. Each lot shall have side building lines at least five (5) feet from each side lot line; provided, however, that the total of two (2) adjacent side yards shall equal at least twenty (20) percent of the average width of the two (2) lots at the front building line.
(11) No fence, wall, hedge, or shrub planting which obstructs sight lines at elevations between street level and six (6) feet above roadways shall be placed or permitted to remain on any corner lot with the triangular area formed by the street property lines and a line connecting them at points twenty-five (25) feet from the intersection of the street lines, or in the case of a rounded property corner, from the intersection of the street property lines extended. The same sight-line limitations shall apply on any lot within ten (10) feet from the intersection of a street property line with the edge of a driveway or alley pavement.
(c) Blocks.
(1) No blocks shall be longer than one thousand, five hundred (1,500) feet in length, except as adjacent development or terrain may dictate or, in the opinion of the planning commission, would enhance public safety. The planning commission shall require a paved pedestrian crosswalk with a minimum right-of-way width of ten (10) feet for blocks over eight hundred (800) feet in length where the nearest portion of the block is within one thousand, five hundred (1,500) feet of an existing or planned public or semi-public building or facility.
(2) Blocks intended for commercial or industrial use shall be designed specifically for such purpose, with adequate space set aside for off-street parking.
(3) Blocks shall be so arranged as to make a minimum number of intersections of minor streets with major streets.
(4) In general, blocks providing two (2) rows of lots are acceptable, but irregularly shaped blocks indented by cul-de-sacs and containing interior parks should be used where topography and other natural features of the terrain allow such variations.
(5) Where it is desired to subdivide a tract of land which because of its size or location does not permit an alignment directly related to a normal street arrangement, there may be established one (1) or more "places". Such a "place" may be in the form of a court, a street with a cul-de-sac or other arrangement; provided, however, that proper access shall be given to all lots from a dedicated street or court. A turning circle shall be required at the end of dead-streets which provide access to subdivided lots, when the dead-end streets exceed 250 feet or the width of two lots in length.
(d) Streets.

Open ditch street construction shall not be permitted in the City of Natchitoches.
(4) If the subdivision of property abuts an existing street (any street that is not a new street being built) for example, one side of a parish road, the developer is required to dedicate thirty (30) feet measured from the center of the road. If the subdivision occurs on both sides of the road, then the dedication would be thirty (30) feet from the center in both directions for a total dedication of sixty (60) feet.
(5) Turning circles (cul-de-sacs) at the end of dead-end streets shall be open spaces, preferably circles having a right-of-way radius of sixty-eight (68) feet, with a minimum inside turning radius of thirty-five (35) feet. In addition, cul-de-sacs shall be designed in accordance with A.A.S.H.T.O. specifications. (See: A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets.

(10) There shall be a minimum number of intersections of minor streets with major streets.
(11) In front of areas designed for commercial use, and in front of schools and other public buildings, the street width and the roadway width shall be increased on the side or sides on which the property for commercial use is located by at least ten (10) feet to insure the free flow of traffic without interference by vehicles entering or leaving parking areas.
(12) The developer/subdivider shall submit certification from the U.S. Post Office that proposed street names are not duplications of existing street names, except where a proposed street is an extension of an existing one.
(13) The entire area indicated for public street use on the plat shall be cleared and grubbed as directed by the parish city engineer or his representative. In those areas, all stumps, roots, brush and other unsatisfactory materials shall be removed to a minimum depth of two (2) feet below the subgrade, then backfilled and compacted to a ninety percent (90) density (AASHTO). Road base shall have a minimum thickness of eight (8) inches, and shall be constructed of soil cement, or approved equal or better, compacted to ninety-five (95) percent density (AASHTO).
