The following requirements shall apply to special street types:
(A) Permanent dead-end streets shall not be permitted. A “dead-end street” as used in this chapter shall mean a street with only one outlet. Temporary dead-end streets shall be permitted only as a segment of a continuing street plan subject to extension into undeveloped acreage. Temporary dead-end streets shall extend to the boundary of such undeveloped acreage and shall be provided with an interim turnaround satisfactory to the Commission in design.

(B) The dedication of new half-streets shall not be permitted. If a parcel to be subdivided exists adjacent to a dedicated or platted and recorded half-width street or alley, the other half-width of such street or alley falling within the proposed subdivision shall be platted, providing that in the opinion of the Commission such right-of-way is necessary for the proper development of the area.
(C) Easements or reserve strips controlling access to streets shall be prohibited except where deemed necessary by the Commission and where their control is definitely placed with the Village.
(D) In subdividing land along existing streets or roads and within a proposed subdivision, provisions for the dedication of land for one or more access streets to undeveloped land not fronting on an existing street or road shall be incorporated. Said access streets shall be spaced not less than 800 feet nor more than 1,400 feet apart.
