(A) Where required or permitted. Alleys shall be provided along the rear lines of lots intended for commercial or industrial use, except in the case of developments such as shopping centers and industrial parks where access to individual establishments will be over common space on the lot. Alleys shall not be provided for lots intended for residential use, unless the subdivider produces evidence satisfactory to the Planning Commission of the need therefor.
(B) Width. The right-of-way width of an alley serving commercial or industrial properties shall be 24 feet, and that of one serving residential properties shall be 20 feet.
(C) Alignment. Alley intersections and sharp changes in alignment shall be avoided, but, where necessary, corners shall be rounded at a ten-foot radius or cut off with an equivalent chord.
(D) Dead-ends. Dead-end alleys shall be avoided where possible, but if unavoidable, shall be provided with adequate turnaround or backaround facilities, as determined by the Planning Commission.
