1109.05 BLOCKS.

   (a)    No block shall be longer than 1,000 feet nor less than 500 feet, except in unusual circumstances. Where a subdivision adjoins a major highway, the greater dimension of the block shall front along such major highway to minimize the number of points of ingress or egress.

   For slope areas where the average topographic slope is ten percent or greater, refer to hillside regulations in Chapter 1113.

   (b)    Where blocks are over 750 feet in length, a crosswalk easement of not less than ten feet in width on or near the halfway point may be required, if necessary, to provide proper access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers and other facilities.
