(a)

No dwelling shall be erected on a lot which does not abut on at least one paved and approved street. This abutment shall be at least 35 feet in length and the lot shall have a width of at least 60 feet at the building line. A street shall form the direct and primary means of ingress and egress of all dwelling units. Alleys, where they exist, shall form only as a secondary means of ingress and egress.

(b)

Provided however, the provisions herein relating to streets built according to said subdivision and development standards shall not apply to dwellings built on dedicated streets constructed prior to the adoption of said standards and accepted by the city for maintenance, or to dwellings built on streets constructed prior to their being annexed to the corporate limits of the city, if such streets were part of the county road system prior to annexation.
