As State Road 28 is a limited access highway, and as access to individual tracts along this highway is either not in existence or not clearly defined in many cases, access roads will need to be built. In the primary and secondary tiers of the Overlay District, common entrances shared by several properties and developments shall be encouraged, and may be required at the discretion of the Plan Commission, as shown in Figure 13: Limited Access to Individual Tracts, set forth in Ordinance 14-23 and incorporated herein by reference. In those cases where tracts can be accessed via connection to a primary or secondary collector street, local street, or adjoining parking lot, curb cuts shall not be established on State Road 28. In order to preserve the aesthetic benefits provided by the green space area, access roads shall be provided at the rear of all tracts, whenever possible. Access roads to contiguous tracts shall be coordinated so as to form one main access road serving adjoining developments. These roads should be designed so as to funnel traffic onto major collector roads rather than into residential areas and local county roads that may adjoin or be near this Overlay Zone that are not designed to handle the capacity. The Plan Commission shall encourage maximum distances between curb cuts to State Road 28 in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Transportation.
