(A) All private streets shall be designed to provide safe vehicular travel while discouraging movement of through traffic.
(B) The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade, and location of all private streets shall be considered in their relation to existing or planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, and their appropriate relation to the proposed use of the land to be served by such streets. Grades of private streets shall conform in general to the terrain and as closely as possible to the original topography.
(C) All changes of grade shall be connected by vertical tangent curves that provide for clear visibility.
(D) In the case of dead end private streets the Town Council may require the reservation of a 20-foot wide easement in the line of the street on land under the control of the applicant to provide continuation of pedestrian traffic or utilities to another street.
(E) Reserve strips controlling access to private streets shall be prohibited except where the town has definite control of the reserve strips under conditions approved by the town.
(F) In front of areas utilized for commercial use, or where it is foreseen that future commercial use will occur, a private street right-of-way and/or pavement width shall be increased by such amount on each side as may be necessary to assure the free flow of through traffic without interference by parked or parking vehicles, and to provide adequate and safe parking space for such commercial or business uses. In no case, shall a private street in a commercial area or business area have a right-of-way width less than 60 feet nor have less than two 12-foot wide travel lanes and two eight-foot wide parking lanes.
(G) Adequate off-street loading space, suitably surfaced, shall be provided in connection with lots designed for commercial use.
(H) The distance between two accesses to a tract of land on a private street shall be considered in their relation to existing or planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, their appropriate relation to the proposed use of land, and to minimize conflict with the flow of traffic.
