Streets shall be established in relation to existing and planned streets, topographic conditions, public convenience and safety, and in their relation to the proposed uses of land to be served by such streets. The Planning Commission reserves the right to disapprove any street plan which does not represent good design or does not insure continuity of the existing street system.
Because subdivisions are reviewed and approved incrementally, the Village-wide network of streets, sidewalks, bikeways and pathways must be considered when reviewing each individual project to ensure that the transportation systems and other development features do not restrict future transportation system connection within the community. Therefore, when a subdivision is adjacent to land likely to be developed in the future, all transportation system features shall continue through fully improved and constructed to the standards as required in these Regulations to the boundary lines of the property to be subdivided. This is required in order to provide for the division of the adjacent land and the transportation and access needs of the Village.
The street layout shall provide, within the boundaries of the subdivision plat, the necessary right of way for the alignment, continuation, extension and connection to any present or planned street.
No reserve strips blocking extension of improvements to adjacent property will be permitted.
The center line of the street shall coincide with the center line of the road right of way.
Temporary dead-end streets or stub streets shall be required to extend to the adjacent unsubdivided acreage at the end of each block in conformance with the maximum block length as specified in Section 1104.04.
A minimum of two (2) access points shall be required for all subdivisions containing more than twenty-five (25) lots or ten (10) acres.
The street system shall be designed to serve the need of the neighborhood and to discourage through traffic in the interior of such subdivision. There shall be no private streets, lanes, alleys, roads or ways nor any private easement used for the purpose of primary access to any subdivision, including subdivisions exempt from platting under Ohio Revised Code Section 711.131.
