(A) The arrangement, character, extent, width and location of all streets shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to reasonable circulation of traffic, to topographic conditions, to runoff of storm water, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. Wherever possible and necessary, the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall provide for the continuation of existing streets in adjoining areas. Where adjoining unsubdivided areas may be subdivided, the arrangement of streets in a new subdivision shall make provision for the proper projection of streets into adjoining area by carrying the new streets to the boundaries of the new subdivision at appropriate locations. No building shall be allowed in areas within a projected street continuation. In no case shall land be subdivided in such a manner that adjoining property be denied access. All lots and streets shall be arranged so ingress and egress is adequately provided for.
(B) A public street or streets shall be provided to afford convenient access to all property within the subdivision. A private street or thoroughfare may be permitted if access easements are provided for. When streets are required within the subdivision, no less than one street of full width shall be provided to furnish the subdivision with access to an existing public highway.
