2  Minimum average width for those parcels with frontages abutting a cul-de-sac.

3  Minimum frontage width for those parcels with frontages abutting a cul-de-sac.

4  Except when the lots are created as part of a cluster development, then minimum area = 1 acre.

5  Setbacks for lots within the Hazen or Stillwater town sites shall conform where possible to the following:
      Front minimum setback = 30 feet
      Side minimum setback = 10 feet
      Rear minimum setback = 20 feet
