(A) Residential areas. Alleys are discouraged, but may be approved in new developments if the Commission determines that the access for delivery of public and private services will be impaired without an alley. Alleys, when deemed necessary, shall be not less than 20 feet in width.
(B) Commercial, industrial, and institutional areas. Service access, including off-street parking and loading areas which do not require the use of alleys are encouraged. If the Commission determines that service access is insufficient without alleys, they shall be required. Alleys, when required, shall not be less than 30 feet in width.
(C) Intersections. Alley intersections and alleys with sharp changes in alignment are discouraged, but where the intersections or changes are unavoidable, corners shall be cut off with a radius of not less than ten feet or sufficiently to permit safe vehicular movement.
(D) Dead end alleys. Dead end alleys are discouraged but where the alleys are unavoidable, they shall be provided with adequate turnaround facilities at the closed end.
(E) Surfacing. Alleys shall be surfaced to the full width of their rights-of-way. Alley roadways shall be of bituminous concrete with a base course of six inches compacted crushed stone, a two-inch asphalt binder course and a one-inch minimum asphalt surface; provided, however, that the Commission may permit the installation of surfacing other than bituminous concrete subject to standards assuring that the surfacing will be equivalent to the above mentioned roadway depth.
