(a) The arrangements, character, extent, width, grade, construction, and location of all streets shall conform to the Comprehensive Development Plan of the City, and shall conform to the City of Kenton Design Criteria and Construction Standards and Drawings. Street design shall take into consideration the relationship to existing and planned streets, topographical conditions, and public convenience and safety, and the appropriate relation to the proposed uses of land to be served by such streets. The street pattern shall discourage through traffic in the interior of a subdivision. The subdivider shall provide within the boundaries of the plat, the necessary right-of-way for the widening, continuance, or alignment of such streets in conformity with the Comprehensive Development Plan.
(b) The subdivider shall improve all streets which are part of the subdivision, including that portion of the subdivision located on existing streets. The required improvements shall be such that all items of work are in accordance with the City of Kenton Design Criteria and Construction Standards and Drawings. Existing streets shall be improved so that they meet the above standards, including storm drainage.
(c) Curbs and gutters shall be required for all streets, including existing streets.
(d) Appropriate access to and from any subdivision in the form of a standard City street with required improvements must be provided by a developer in instances where development is not located contiguously along an improved public street right-of-way. No subdivision shall be approved where a parcel, tract or lot has frontage only on the "stub end" of a discontinued or dead-end street. Such street must first be extended or reconstructed as a cul-de-sac in accordance with these Regulations. No subdivision showing reserved strips controlling the access to public ways will be approved.
(e) All street widths shall conform to the City of Kenton Design Criteria and Construction Standards and Drawings. In cases where the designation of the street is in question, the Planning Commission shall determine the type of street designation.
