The minimum width of any proposed street shall be fifty (50) feet between property lines, provided that in the subdivision of the property a minimum depth of lots of one hundred (100) feet can be obtained. In narrow parcels alongside of developed property, or where less width would be required in order to secure lots one hundred (100) feet in depth, a narrower street may be permitted upon the approval of the Planning Commission. Alleys, meaning streets less than twenty (20) feet in width, may be laid out in the rear of lots fronting on an adjoining street when such lots do not exceed one hundred fifty (150) feet in depth. At the intersection of streets the rounding of corners may be required.

In order that proposed streets may be so nearly coterminus as possible with existing streets in adjoining allotments, due provision shall be made for the direct continuation of all existing streets which extend to the boundaries of a proposed allotment. In case of adjacent allotments, separated by existing thoroughfares, due provisions shall be made for continuing, in a practical manner, such of the existing streets through the proposed allotment as may be necessary for public requirements, subject to the approval of Council, and provided that in cases where there is a departure from the direct continuation of such streets, Council shall be advised thereof in writing by the Platting Commissioner, prior to the approval of the plat by Council.

The Platting Commissioner may require wider streets than fifty (50) feet, whenever in his or her judgment, provisions for public travel make the wider street desirable, or wherever any general plan of street development adopted by the Planning Commission requires the establishment of streets of greater width. In general, streets of not less than one hundred (100) feet wide may be required at intervals not greater than six thousand (6,000) feet, and streets not less than eighty (80) feet wide, at intervals not greater than three thousand (3,000) feet.

No so called dead-ended streets will be approved for dedication except where physical conditions make the extension of such a street impractical. In such cases a dead-end street may be approved, provided that adequate turning space for vehicles is placed at the dead-end.
Turning spaces shall be of sufficient size to provide for a paved circular space of at least sixty (60) feet in diameter, or of a rectangular space twenty-five (25) feet wide and eighty (80) feet long, having its eighty (80) foot dimension placed symmetrically perpendicular to the line of the street, both of such spaces being exclusive of any sidewalk space.

(a) Before approval will be given upon any plat dedicating streets to public use, except as hereinafter provided, the streets shall have been graded to a grade approved by the Commissioner of Engineering and Construction, and sidewalks shall have been constructed of stone or cement in accordance with the City’s specifications, to a width meeting the approval of the Commissioner.
(b) Stone monuments, provided with drill holes, to indicate all street lines, shall be placed at street intersections, at points of change of alignment and at ends of streets, should the same not be at a street intersection. The monuments shall be of suitable hard stone free from ingredients likely to cause disintegration and shall be at least twenty (20) inches in depth, five (5) inches wide and five (5) inches long. The monuments shall be set so that their tops will be approximately ten (10) inches below the established grade of the street.

All culverts or bridges necessary within the limits of the streets to be dedicated, all box culverts and drainage outlets necessary to carry surface drainage and all of the work necessary in the intersections of the proposed streets, with existing street, including the repaving of such intersections and providing catch basins at such locations, shall be done by the owner of the proposed allotment, or land proposed for dedication, and all to the approval and satisfaction of the Commissioner of Engineering and Construction.
