§ 307.01 Streets, Alleys and Watercourses on Plats

   Before any plat of land wherein any new streets or alleys are opened and laid out within the City limits shall be recommended by the Director of Public Service or approved by Council, such streets and alleys shall, if there are other streets or alleys already laid out adjacent thereto, be a continuation of such streets or alleys, as near as practicable, and all streets and alleys shall be properly defined by stone monuments set in the ground. The streets, alleys and lots so laid out shall be properly figured and numbered so that they can be located from the stone monuments. All streams, watercourses or ditches, if any, shall be accurately laid down on the plat or map, and where the surface of the ground is broken or uneven, the same shall be so indicated by proper topographical delineations.

§ 307.02 General Street Construction Requirements

   All streets so laid out shall be graded and the gutters cut out to a proper grade, and where any street crosses a stream or watercourse, the same shall be spanned by a proper culvert or bridge. All streets and alleys shall be so graded and arranged that persons can drive through or over them with safety; all of which shall be done to the acceptance of the Director of Public Service.

§ 307.03 Certificate of Title to Accompany Plats

   All plats submitted, wherein new streets and alleys are laid out to be dedicated to public use, shall be accompanied by a certified abstract of title to date, showing the proposed streets and alleys to be clear and free of all incumbrances, which abstract, or a certified copy thereof, shall be filed in the office of the Director of Public Service, and shall become the property of the City.
