(A) Proposed streets shall conform to the state road and county highway plans or preliminary plans as have been prepared, adopted and/or filed as prescribed by law.
(B) Streets shall be logically related to the topography so as to produce usable lots and reasonable grades.
(C) Access shall be given to all lots and portions of the tract in the subdivision, and to adjacent unsubdivided parcels unless the topography clearly indicates that such connection is not feasible. Reserved strips and land-locked areas shall not be created.
(D) The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the appropriate continuation of the existing streets in adjoining areas.
(E) Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, but may be subdivided, the arrangement of streets in a new subdivision shall make provision for the proper projection of streets into adjoining areas by carrying the new streets to the boundaries of the new subdivision at appropriate locations. Streets must be rough graded or documented that grading can be accomplished within the right-of-way. Where new roads extend existing adjoining roads, their projections shall be at the same or greater width, but in no case, less than the minimum required width.
(F) Minor streets shall be laid out to discourage their use by through traffic. Thoroughfares shall be reserved for through traffic by providing marginal access streets, interior streets for serving lots, or other means.
(G) Half or partial streets will not be permitted, except where essential to reasonable subdivision of a tract in conformance with the other requirements and standards of this chapter and where, in addition, satisfactory assurance for dedication of the remaining part of the street can be secured.
(H) Wherever a tract to be subdivided adjoins an existing half, or partial street, the part of the street within such tract shall be platted.
(I) Dead-end streets shall be prohibited, except as stubs to permit future street extension into adjoining tracts, or when designed as cul-de-sac streets.
(J) Private streets and reserve strips shall be prohibited and no public improvements shall be approved for any private street. All streets shall be dedicated for public use except in cluster developments or planned unit developments.
(K) Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or planned major thoroughfare or a railroad right-of-way, a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such thoroughfare and right-of-way may be required for adequate protection of residential properties and separation of through and local traffic. Such service streets shall be located at a distance from the major thoroughfare or railroad right-of-way suitable for the appropriate use of the intervening land, as for park purposes in residential districts, or for commercial and industrial purposes in appropriate districts. Such distances shall also be determined with due regard for the requirements of approach grades and future grade separations.
(L) The street arrangements shall not be such as to cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in platting their own land and providing convenient access to it.
