For instance, lot width <br />is a key attribute because it creates the general <br />rhythm along the street and perceived scale of <br />the neighborhood. Lot width also indirecdy <br />controls dwelling size, shape, and character as <br />houses are designed for the relatively narrow <br />lots, and often with a driveway along one <br />property line. <br /> <br />Characteristics of ETN Lots: <br />· Lots are of one of two typical sizes: <br /> <br />"Small Square Lots" 50-60' x 50-60' <br /> <br />"Long Lots" 50-65' x 120-160' <br /> <br />· Lot widths vary in a narrow range within the <br />ETN. Combined with other traditions such as <br />parking to the side and prominent entries, lot <br />width is an important generator of the ETN <br />character. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Lot divisions are orthogonal (at right angles to <br />each other.) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Lots facing east-west running streets are more <br />regular than the lots along north-south running <br />streets. These are the "corner lots" and have been <br />divided in any number of different ways within <br />the neighborhood. <br /> <br />The smallest lots typically face the north-south <br />streets. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The dimensional range of lots is one of the defining <br />characteristics of a neighborhood. Even within the <br />detached housing model, some neighborhoods will <br />have much larger, deeper or wider lots. The size and <br />
