(a) No block shall be longer than one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet nor less than five hundred (500) feet, except in unusual circumstances. Where a subdivision adjoins a major highway, the greater dimension of the block shall front along such major highway to minimize the number of points of ingress or egress.
For slope areas where the average topographic slope is fifteen percent (15%) or greater refer to Hillside Regulations, Chapter 1121.
(b) Where blocks are over seven hundred fifty (750) feet in length, a crosswalk easement not less than ten (10) feet in width on or near the halfway point may be required, if necessary, to provide proper access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers and other facilities.
