(A) Block length and width or acreage within bounding streets shall be such as to accommodate the size of residential lots required in the area by Ch. 153 of this code, and to provide for convenient access, circulation control and safety of street traffic.
(B) In residential areas, other than water frontage, blocks shall not be less than 600 feet nor more than 1,800 feet in length measured along the greatest dimension of the enclosed block areas, unless minor variances are necessitated by topography or conformance with an adjoining plat.
(C) In blocks over 900 feet long, ten-foot wide pedestrian crosswalks may be required through the blocks in locations deemed necessary to public health, convenience and necessity. Suitable paving and fencing shall be provided.
(D) Blocks for commercial and industrial areas may vary from the elements of design contained in this section if the nature of the use requires other treatment. In these cases, off-street parking for employees and customers shall be provided along with safe and convenient limited access to the street system. Space for off-street loading shall also be provided with similar access. Extension of roads, railroad access right-of-way and utilities shall be provided as necessary.
(E) Blocks shall be wide enough to allow two tiers of lots with a minimum depth as required by Ch. 153 of this code, except adjoining a lake, stream, railroad or thoroughfare or where one tier of lots is necessary because of topographic conditions.
