(A) Rules for streets, alleys, and other public places.
(1) The minimum width for any street shall be 60 feet except by special permit for purely local drives.
(2) All streets and other public places and easements shall conform in effect to the official plan, both as to location and as to width or size.
(3) When adjoining undeveloped property, a half street may be dedicated.
(4) The minimum width of any alley, wherever provided, shall be 20 feet. Where alleys are not provided, easements may be required along lot lines or across lots where necessary for extension of water mains, sewers, and similar purposes.
(5) No block shall be longer than 1,200 feet between street lines. Blocks over 800 feet in length shall have one crosswalk not less than ten feet in width, situated near the center of the block.
(6) The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the direct continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining subdivisions (or their proper projection where adjoining property is not subdivided) insofar as they may be necessary for public requirements. In general, such streets shall be a width at least as great as the existing streets. The street and alley arrangements must also be such as to provide opportunity for access and use by adjoining property owners. Wherever a street is stub-ended so that it will not at that end open into another street, an adequate turn around either circular or Y-shaped, shall be provided. At important intersections and at all acute corners, the property corner shall be rounded or cut off.
(7) All curb corners shall have radii of not less than 12 feet and at important corners not less than 24 feet.
(8) Grades of streets shall be the lowest feasible and no grade shall be in excess of 5% on through traffic streets nor in excess of 10% on any other street.
(9) Whenever streets or alleys are paved or surfaced, such paving or surfacing shall be of a type and strength suitable for the volume and character of traffic to be expected.
(B) Lots.
(1) No lots shall be subdivided or indicated for sale as business lots or industrial lots except at points designated for these uses on the zoning plan or general development plan of the village, and the front street line of all such business lots shall be places not less than 54 feet from the center of the street on which they front.
(2) No lot in any subdivision or re-subdivision shall be less than 50 feet wide and no such lot shall contain less than 6,000 square feet.
(C) Standards. All improvements shall conform to the best engineering standards. Due consideration shall be given throughout to the appearance of the subdivision and the various features thereof within its own boundaries and also in its environment to the village.
