(a) Alignment. The Planning Commission may require that all streets be continuous and in alignment with existing streets and that such streets may be continued through adjacent unplatted land.
(b) Arrangement. Residential streets shall be so designed as to discourage through traffic.
(c) Intersections. Streets shall intersect one another at an angle as near to a right angle as possible. Street intersections shall be rounded with a minimum radius of ten feet measured at the back of curbs when the intersection occurs at right angles. If an intersection occurs at an angle other than a right angle, it shall be rounded with a curve of a radius acceptable to the Commission.
(d) Width. The minimum right-of-way width of a street shall be fifty feet. When the subdivision is intended for single family residential development, the pavement shall have a minimum width of twenty feet.
(e) Names, Numbers. Names of new streets shall not duplicate existing or platted street names unless a new street is a continuation of, or in alignment with, the existing or platted street.
(f) Vacation. The Planning Commission shall not recommend the vacation of any street or part of a street dedicated for public use if such vacation interferes with the uniformity of the existing street pattern or any future street plans prepared for the area.
(g) Private Streets. Private streets shall not be approved in any subdivision.
(h) Dead-End Streets. Dead-end streets, designed to be so permanently due to some permanent improvement or obstruction, shall be provided with a permanent vehicular turn around having a radius of forty-five feet, whenever the street is permitted by the Commission.
(i) Half-Streets. Dedication of half-streets shall be discouraged. Where there exists a dedication or platted half-street or alley adjacent to the tract to be subdivided, the other half shall be platted if deemed necessary by the Commission. Whenever permitted, pavement width of a half-street shall be equal to one-half of the requirement.
