It is the intent of this section that all lots and blocks provided in a subdivision abut on a street adequate to accommodate all traffic generated in a reasonable and safe manner. The arrangement, character, grade, width and location of all streets shall be designed in accordance with the following provisions.
(a) Each subdivision shall provide for the continuation of all major and collector streets.
(b) Residential lots shall not front onto a major street but only abut on rear and side lot lines, unless a road is provided for access purposes or when residential lots are more than two acres in size.
(c) Subdivision streets shall not open onto major streets except at an average interval of not less than one quarter mile, measured from the centerlines.
(d) Minor streets shall be laid so that their use by through traffic will be discouraged, but easy accessibility by emergency and maintenance vehicles must be maintained, where possible by more than one access point.
(e) Collector streets shall be provided in the subdivision wherever traffic is being collected from minor streets to provide access to a major street or community facility. Any street shall be deemed a collector street when it serves more than fifty dwelling units.
(f) A tentative plan of the proposed future street system shall be shown on the preliminary plat.
(g) When a tract is subdivided into larger than normal building lots or parcels, such lots or parcels shall be so arranged as to permit the logical extension of future streets and appropriate resubdivision, with provision for adequate utility easements and connections for such resubdivision.
(h) A street crossing another street should continue on the same alignment: however, if it does not, then the offset should be not less than 125 feet measured from the centerlines.
(i) Street right of way widths, pavement and sidewalk construction specifications and construction standards shall be in accordance with requirements of the City of Lewisburg Department of Public Works.
(j) Half streets shall be prohibited.
(k) No street names shall be used which will duplicate or be confused with existing streets. Street names and house numbers shall be subject to approval of the Department of Public Works.
