(A) The maximum length of blocks, measured along the centerline of the street and between intersecting street center lines, shall be 1,500 feet, except that in a development with lot areas averaging one-half acre or more where conditions warrant, this maximum may be exceeded by 500 feet. Blocks shall be as long as reasonably possible under the circumstances within the above maximum in order to achieve depth and possible street economy and to reduce the expense and safety hazard arising from excessive street intersections.
(B) The minimum length of blocks, as measured above, shall be 600 feet.
(C) The maximum length of cul-de-sac streets shall be 400 feet, measured from the intersection of right-of-way lines to the extreme depth of the turning circle along the street centerline. Exceptions may be made where topography, adjacent platting or other unusual conditions justify such. No exception shall be made merely because the tract has restrictive boundary dimensions, wherein provisions should be made for extension of street pattern to the adjoining unplatted parcel and a temporary turnaround installed.
(D) Pedestrian ways with a right-of-way width of eight feet may be required where essential for circulation or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation and other community facilities. Pedestrian ways may be used for utility purposes, if utility easement is dedicated on the final plat.
