New street systems shall be designed to provide both internal and external connectivity. A better connected street network can improve emergency vehicle response times and can generally reduce trip lengths for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. Whenever a single development or phase thereof, involves more than twenty-five (25) acres, it must have more than one access point to an existing thoroughfare unless it can be demonstrated that such multiple access points are not feasible, or are otherwise impractical, due to existing development and vehicular circulation patterns. Further, all new street systems shall include fully improved "stub" streets within a dedicated right-of-way. Such stub streets shall connect to at least two (2) surrounding properties, unless such adjacent properties are already developed, or are determined to be unlikely to be developed in the opinion of the Planning Commission.
