feet apart. No more than two (2) separate points of ingress and egress per lot or within a planned
multi -tenant development shall be allowed per road front, except where included as a condition for a
use which requires a conditional use permit located on a lot containing five (5) or more acres. Any use
engaged in the sale of automobile fuels to the public and having more than three (3) fuel stations shall
be allowed to have no more than one additional point of ingress and egress per road front provided that
said point of ingress and egress is located no closer than forty (40) feet from any other such access

located closer than two -hundred (200) feet to the centerline intersection of the road upon which the use
fronts an intersecting road. Any driveway serving as a point of ingress and egress shall have a width

3. For purposes of determining the allowable number of ingress and egress points on any particular lot,
all lots recorded at the effective date of this Ordinance shall be granted at least one ingress and egress
point per road front unless access can be provided internally. If any subdivision of land occurs after
the effective -date of this Ordinance, the number of ingress and egress points shall be determined based
on the linear road frontage the tract contained prior to such subdivision. For instance, if a tract of land
contained 1,300 feet of road frontage and, subsequent to the adoption of this Ordinance, were
subdivided into three lots, only two points of ingress and egress serving the three lots would be
allowed.

adjacent parcels through at least one stub on to provide for future non-residential development.

In the event that a parcel has frontage on more than one public road a monument sign shall
be permitted for each road frontage. The maximum area for each additional sign shall be
