Notes:

   1.   See section 8-17-1-1 of this chapter for definition of street hierarchy and subsection 8-6-3-4C2 of this title for definition of low, medium, and high intensity of development.

   2.    Pavement and right of way widths of cul-de-sac stems and right of way requirements shall conform to standards of either residential access or subcollector streets as dictated by anticipated average daily traffic. Cul-de-sac turnarounds shall have a minimum pavement radius of 50 feet. Minimum cul-de-sac right of way radius shall be 60 feet with pavement curbs and 70 feet with roadside swales. Alternative type turnarounds may be considered in very low traffic situations.

   3.    Pavement and right of way widths of marginal access streets and right of way requirements should conform to the standards of either residential access or subcollector streets as dictated by anticipated daily traffic. If the classification is a subcollector requiring a 36 foot pavement, pavement width may be reduced to 28 feet since frontage is restricted to one side of the street.

   4.    Pavement and right of way widths of divided streets and right of way requirements should conform to the standards of street classification as dictated by anticipated average daily traffic and be applied to aggregate dimensions of the 2 street segments.

   5.    Pavement and right of way widths of stems and right of way requirements should conform to the standards of street classification as dictated by anticipated daily traffic.

   6.    Pavement width measured from edge to edge of surface or when curbs are present, from back to back of curb.

   7.    Curbs may also be required as indicated in subsection 8-6-3-4D1b of this title.

   8.    Pavement width assumptions - street parking and direct access (driveways) to lots and buildings are prohibited.

   9.    Use of shoulders is allowable only when: 1) note 8 conditions are met; and 2) sidewalk requirement is waived, street right of way is increased to provide space for sidewalks and drainage swales or sidewalks are provided outside of the street right of way.

   10.    Sidewalks or paved paths may be required in specific situations depending on probable pedestrian traffic and proximity of and need for access to schools, shopping and other facilities.

   11.    Shoulders shall consist of the following widths of aggregate and earth material:

 

Street Category	Aggregate	Earth	Total
Residential access	2 feet	4 feet	6 feet
Residential subcollector	4 feet	2 feet	6 feet
Residential collector	6 feet	2 feet	8 feet
Commercial/industrial access	4 feet	2 feet	6 feet
Rural lane	2 feet	4 feet	6 feet
