1167.09 STREET LAYOUTS.

   (a)    Minimum Width. The minimum width of any proposed street right of way

shall be sixty feet.

   (b)    Grade. The grade of all streets in a subdivision shall be established by the engineer of the allotter, and approved by the City Engineer.

   (c)    Arrangement and Design Standards. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to the Official Map and Master Plan and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. Where not shown on the Official Map or Master Plan, the arrangement and other design standards of streets shall conform to the provisions of this section.

   (d)    Arterial Street in Subdivision. Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial street, the Commission may require marginal access streets, reverse frontage with screen planting contained in a nonaccess reservation along the rear property line, deep lots with rear service alleys, or such other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of residential properties and to afford separation of through and local traffic.

   (e)    Street Names. No street names shall be used which will duplicate or be confused with the names of existing streets in Cuyahoga County. Street names shall be subject to the approval of the Commission.

   (f)    Continuation of Existing Streets. The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall provide for the continuation of the existing streets in adjoining areas. Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the arrangement of streets in the subdivision shall provide for the proper projection of streets. When a new subdivision adjoins unsubdivided land susceptible of being subdivided, then the new streets shall be carried to the boundaries of the tract proposed to be subdivided.

   (g)   Provisions for Future Streets. Where a tract is subdivided into larger parcels than ordinary building lots, such parcels shall be arranged so as to allow the opening of future streets and further resubdivision. The street arrangements shall not be such as to cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in subdividing their own land.

   (h)    Intersections. The intersection of more than two streets at one point shall be avoided unless it is impractical to secure a proper street system otherwise. Streets shall intersect one another at an angle as near to a right angle as possible, and no intersection of streets at angles of less than seventy-five degrees shall be approved. Street boundary line intersections shall be rounded with a radius of twenty feet when the intersection occurs at right angles. If an intersection occurs at an angle other than a right angle, it shall be rounded with a curve of a radius acceptable to the Commission. No block shall be longer than 2400 feet.

   (i)   Dead-end Streets. Dead-end streets shall not be allowed, except temporarily where later subdivision of adjoining land will provide for ultimate connection with other streets, and then only if a concrete paved turnaround with an outside diameter of at least 120 feet is provided. Such turnaround shall be at least 120 feet in diameter, and paved with concrete to an outside diameter of at least ninety-four feet and an inside diameter of at least forty-six feet.

   (j)    Cul-de-sac Streets. Cul-de-sac streets may be allowed, the length of which shall be not more than 400 feet to the center of the turnaround, and which shall be paved as provided in Section 1167.07(e)(5).

   (k)    Reserve Strips. No reserve strips of land controlling access to public ways, or showing strips of land which will not prove taxable for special improvements, shall be allowed, provided that such reserve strips may be shown when the control and disposal of land comprising such strips are definitely placed with the City, under conditions meeting the approval of the City Engineer and the Law Director. (Ord. 21-1965. Passed 7-13-65.)
