(A) Length. Block lengths shall not exceed 1,320 feet or be less than 400 feet except as the Plan Commission considers necessary to secure efficient use of land or desired features of street layout. Blocks along arterials and collector streets shall not be less than 1,000 feet in length.
(B) Width. Blocks shall be wide enough to allow two tiers of lots of minimum depth. However, where topographical conditions or the size of the property prevent two tiers of lots, the Plan Commission may approve a single tier of lots of minimum depth. Double frontage lots, however, should be discouraged.
(C) Special conditions. In blocks of over 750 feet in length, the Commission may require, at or near the middle of the block, a public walk connecting adjacent streets or other public areas. Such walks shall be at least ten feet in width, at least four feet of which shall be paved, and shall be intended for the use of pedestrians only.
