The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade construction and location of all streets shall conform to all appropriate Major Thoroughfare Plans or subsequent amendments thereto, and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, topographical conditions and public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. The street pattern shall discourage through traffic in the interior of a subdivision. The subdivider shall provide within the boundaries of the subdivision plat the necessary right of way for the widening, continuance or alignment of such streets in conformity with Major Thoroughfare Plans.
The design and improvement standards contained in Table 1 herein are suggested minimums. All streets shall be designed and constructed in accordance with standards as specified.
All thoroughfare entrances and exits to and from any new subdivision within the City must have minimum right-of-way widths of fifty feet and minimum paved surface widths of twenty-six feet. (Ord. 74-77. Passed 12-27-77.)
