1. Once dwelling units have been located, applicants shall delineate a street system that provides a safe pattern of vehicular and pedestrian access to each dwelling unit. Streets and trails shall conform to the tract’s natural topography and provide for a safe pattern of circulation to, from and within the tract.
2. Streets and driveways crossing wetlands and traversing slopes over 15% shall be avoided to the greatest extent practicable.
3. Street connections are strongly encouraged in order to eliminate new cul-de- sacs and to facilitate easy access to and from homes in different parts of the tract and on adjoining parcels. Three way intersections shall be preferred over 4-way intersec tions.
4. Lots shall generally be accessed from interior streets, rather than from roads bordering the tract. Open space area and greenway land may be exempt from this requirement, as determined by the governing body.
5. A tentative network of trails shall be shown, where appropriate, providing access to natural and cultural features in the open space area and greenway land. Potential trail connections to adjacent parcels shall also be shown in areas where a county or municipal trail network is envisioned.
6. Open space area and greenway land shall be consistent with the Dover Township/Dover Borough Joint Comprehensive Plan, the Dover Township Zoning Ordinance [Chapter 27] and this Chapter.
