(a) Unless other definite and assured provision is made for service access, such as off- street loading, unloading and the like, alleys shall be provided in commercial and industrial districts. Alley intersections and sharp changes in alignment shall be avoided where possible, but where unavoidable, comers shall be curved to permit safe vehicular movement. Alleys which dead-end against permanent barriers are prohibited unless approved provision for turnaround is made at the terminus.
(b) Except where justified by unusual and extreme conditions of topography, traffic flow, or access, alleys shall be prohibited in residential subdivisions.
(c) No subdivision shall be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission where the only access to the subdivision or any lot, parcel or site thereof is by means of an alley as defined herein. All such lots, parcels or sites shall be provided with access to an arterial, collector or local street as defined herein in accordance with the minimum right-of-way and pavement widths specified in Section 1361.03.
(d) Except where unusual land configuration requires otherwise, cul-de-sac streets shall not be longer than six hundred (600) feet from the nearest intersecting street, and shall be provided at the closed end with a turnaround having a curb radius of at least forty (40) feet. Between the street and the circle there shall be a twenty-five (25) foot reverse radius.
