Reserve blocks controlling the access to public ways, or which will not prove taxable for special improvements, may be required by the Council, but will not be approved unless the strips are necessary for the protection of the public welfare or of substantial property rights, or both, and in no case, unless the land comprising the strips is placed in the name of the city for disposal and dedication for street or road purposes whenever the disposal or dedication has the approval of the Council. In no case shall a reserve block be platted along a right-of-way that is dedicated to the required full width.
