1. The developer of any subdivision designed to be used for residential, commercial or other purposes, shall lay out, grade and otherwise improve all streets that are designated on the approved plat or that directly serve the subdivision, in accordance with the standards and specifications of these and other applicable regulations.
2. Streets shall conform in design and layout to the standards and principles contained in the Subdivision Design, Article III of these subdivision regulations.
3. Every lot within a subdivision shall have access to a public street or an equivalent private street meeting statutory requirements. (Private streets, where permitted, must comply with the improvements required of comparable public streets, in accordance with state law.)
4. Whenever a subdivision contains a street that requires a street facility that is more costly than is required to serve the future occupants of the subdivision, the subdivider shall be required to pay only the portion of the cost of the street that would equal the cost of an improvement required to serve only the subdivision, as determined by the Planning Commission and the City Council.
5. Streets shall be designed, graded and improved to conform to the design and construction specifications and diagrams contained in these subdivision regulations. Construction plans for all street improvements shall be approved by the City Council prior to final plat approval and filing.
6. Due to reduced street standards for subdivisions zoned for residential estates development, a maximum of 40 acres should be served by one collector street. Where such collector streets will serve more than 40 acres, the Planning Commission may require higher quality street improvement standards be met by said collector street.
7. In areas where alleys are required, they shall be constructed in accordance with those standards and requirements which may be established by the Planning Commission and the City Council.
