(a) The street pattern in every new allotment shall conform to the Major Street Plan (see Section 1234.05) where applicable.
(b) Major or heavy traffic streets or main thoroughfares shall be not less than sixty (60) feet in width and the Planning Commission may require additional width if deemed desirable. Secondary or residential streets shall be fifty (50) feet wide or more and shall be arranged to discourage through traffic.
(c) Streets shall be located with consideration to suitable and economic installation of sewers and drainage facilities.
(d) When a proposed subdivision adjoins or contains for a considerable distance a main thoroughfare or a railroad, a parallel access street or streets shall be provided. A series of cul-de-sacs, the end lots of which shall abut such main thoroughfare, without having vehicular access thereto, may be substituted for a parallel access street. Whenever such series of cul-de-sacs is used, consideration shall be given to:
(1) The advisability of providing a pedestrian lane or walk between the end of the cul-de-sac and the main thoroughfare;
(2) The need for easements for utility lines that might be extended to the main thoroughfare; and
(3) The need for a drainage easement when the terrain slopes toward the main thoroughfare.
(4) Consideration should be given to the distance required for approach grades and interchanges to future grade separations.
(e) All new streets, when coterminous with existing streets, shall be of the same or greater width and have the same name. If not coterminous, there shall be a jog of at least three hundred (300) feet, measured between centerlines.
(f) Streets shall intersect each other at as nearly right angles as possible, but in no case shall be less than seventy (70) degrees.
(g) Cross streets shall be located at intervals of not over one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet nor less than four hundred (400) feet.
(h) A tangent of at least one hundred (100) feet shall be introduced between reversed curves in street alignment for streets for any classification other than local.
(i) Grades of all streets shall be the minimum possible except that no grade shall be less than one-half of one percent (.5%). Main thoroughfares shall have no grade in excess of five percent (5%) and the grade of residential streets shall not exceed ten percent (10%). The sight distance shall meet Ohio Department of Transportation criteria.
(j) Block corners at intersecting streets shall be rounded by a radius of twenty-five (25) feet or more.
(k) At the end of every dead-end street or cul-de-sac, a turning circle of a minimum radius of fifty (50) feet on the property lines shall be provided and a curb to curb radius of not less than thirty-seven (37) feet six (6) inches without a center island. If such dead end street is of a temporary nature and a future extension into adjacent land is anticipated, then the turning circle beyond the normal street width shall be in the nature of an easement over the premises included in such turning circle, but beyond the boundaries of the street proper. Such easements shall be automatically vacated to abutting property owners when such dead-end street is legally extended, by dedication or otherwise, into adjacent lands.
(l) At the end of all streets which terminate at unallotted lands, a reservation strip shall be provided to prevent access to the street. This reservation shall remain in effect until such street is extended by a dedicated street. No permanent reserve strip at ends of streets or laterally to a street shall be permitted. Equitable means for future removal of such temporary reserve strips along minor streets shall be provided for on the plat. However, a permanent reserve restriction to prevent access to main thoroughfares may be made for considerations under paragraph (d)(1), (2) and (3) hereof.

(a) All residence lots shall be seventy (70) feet or more in width at the building lines. No lot shall be deeper than three and one-half (3½) times its width, nor more shallow than two (2) times its width.
(b) Corner lots shall be of sufficient width to permit a side street building line of not less than the minimum setback line per the zoning district.
(c) All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to street lines or radial to curved street lines, unless a variation from this rule will give a better street and lot plan.
(d) Lots with double street frontage shall be avoided. However, lots backing up to existing main thoroughfares without having access thereto, except as outlined in Section 1228.02(d)(1), (2) and (3), are encouraged.
