(A) Whenever a tract to be subdivided embraces any part of a street designated in the municipality's adopted streets and highways master plan, the street shall be platted in conformance therewith.
(B) Street layout shall provide for the continuation of the streets as the Site Plan Review Committee may designate.
(C) Whenever a tract to be subdivided is located within an area for which a neighborhood plan has been approved by the Commission, the street arrangement shall conform substantially to the plan.
(D) Certain proposed streets, as designated by the Site Plan Review Committee, shall be extended to the tract boundary to provide future connection with adjoining unplatted lands.
(E) Local streets shall be so arranged as to discourage their use by through traffic.
(F) Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial route, the Site Plan Review Committee may require access or frontage streets, or reverse frontage combined with a one-foot non-access easement abutting the arterial route, or the other treatment as may be justified for protection of residential properties from function of the arterial route.
(G) Where a subdivision abuts or contains the right-of-way of a limited access highway or an irrigation canal or abuts a commercial or industrial land use, the Site Plan Review Committee may recommend location of a street approximately parallel to and on each side of the right-of-way at a distance suitable for appropriate use of the intervening land. The distance shall be determined with due regard for approach grades, drainage, bridges or future grade separations.
(H) Streets shall be so arranged in relation to existing topography as to produce desirable lots of maximum utility and streets of reasonable gradient and to facilitate adequate drainage.
(I) Alleys may be required in all commercial and industrial subdivisions. The Site Plan Review Committee may recommend waiver of requirements in certain districts because of topography, open area provided or service access provided in some other manner acceptable to the Committee.
(J) Half streets shall be discouraged except where necessary to provide right-of-way by the streets and highways plan, to complete a street pattern already begun or to ensure reasonable development of a number of adjoining parcels. Where there exists a platted half street abutting the tract to be subdivided and the half street furnishes the sole access to residential lots, the remaining half shall be platted within the tract.
(K) If half streets are platted, they shall be four feet wider in right-of-way and pavement width for local streets for the first half street, or this 4 feet may be obtained from the adjoining property, if possible.
