(a) Relation to Adjoining Street System. The subdivider may be required to continue certain adjoining streets through the area being subdivided when necessary to provide for local vehicular movement or to enable adjoining property to be properly subdivided.

All dead-end streets or places shall have adequate provision for the turning of vehicles in the interior portions of the block. Such turning area shall be a circular drive having an overall diameter of not less than 100 feet to the street lines.
(4) Whenever there exists a dedicated or platted portion of a street adjacent to the tract to be subdivided the remaining portion of the street shall be platted or dedicated to provide a minimum right-of-way of fifty feet for single-family developments, or sixty feet for two-family or multiple dwelling developments.

(3) All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to straight street lines, or radial to curved street lines, unless a variation to this rule will give a better lot plan. Lots with double frontage shall be avoided.
