(1) Provisions shall be made for direct access to a public street for each lot or parcel, and for direct public street access to adjacent properties in conformance to town street standards.
(2) Commercial or industrial use will require parking, loading and circulation driveways to be located off-street.
(B) When a tract/parcel/lot abuts an arterial or collector street, the Planning Commission or Town Council, at their sole discretion, may require abutting properties to have sole access onto a parallel or an intersecting local street for the purpose to preserve arterial and collector street capacity.
(C) The arrangement, character, extent, grade, width and location of all roadways or streets shall conform to these regulations, public works standards, specifications and details, and any town adopted transportation plan, capital facilities plan, general plan, or specific area community plan affecting the proposed streets.

All center lines shall be continuations of the center lines of existing streets in contiguous areas. In cases where straight continuations are not physically possible, the center lines may be continued in a curvilinear manner as needed.
(E) Local streets shall be designed to provide proper circulation of local traffic. Adequate stopping and sight distance, degree of curve and surface elevation shall conform to current AASHTO design standards. (AASHTO: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.)

(G) All streets shall be constructed to the Town’s adopted APWA Standard Plans or APWA Standard Specifications.
