1105.14 SPECIAL STREET TYPES.

   The following requirements shall apply to special street types:

   (a)   Cul-de-sac Streets. A cul-de-sac street (permanent dead-end street) shall not exceed a length as specified in Table 3 as measured from the centerline intersection to the center radius point of the circular turnaround. The circular turnaround shall have an unobstructed right-of-way radius of sixty (60) feet, a solid pavement turn-around with a radius of fifty (50) feet (not including curb and gutter) or if islands or other ornamental construction is proposed within the turn-around, a single-lane pavement width of not less than sixteen (16) feet (not including curb and gutter) shall be constructed along an outside pavement radius of fifty (50) feet. Islands or other ornamental construction shall be located on outlots to be owned by an entity capable of maintaining the outlot in perpetuity, rather than within the right of way. Outlots shall be indicated on the preliminary plan, improvement plans and final plat. The street right-of-way lines and the diameter of the turnaround shall be joined by tangent arcs of one hundred (100) feet radius. The edge of pavement at the transition from the roadway to the cul-de-sac shall have a radius of fifty (50) feet (not including curb and gutter).

   (b)   Temporary Dead-End Streets. Temporary dead-end streets shall be permitted only when a street terminates as a segment of a continuing street plan within a platted phase of a subdivision or when a street, also known as a stub street, is required to extend to the boundary of a subdivision to provide for the proper continuance at such time as the adjacent land is subdivided.

      (1)   Temporary dead-end streets shall not exceed a length of five hundred (500) feet.

      (2)   All temporary dead end streets shall terminate with a “T” type turnaround within the normal right of way designed to the satisfaction of the Village Road Commissioner.

      (3)   The “T” type turnaround shall extend the entire width of the right of way and shall have a minimum width of fifteen (15) feet along the property line with the flared portions rounded to a minimum radius of twenty (20) feet.

      (4)   The subdivider extending the street shall be responsible for removing, regrading and seeding the temporary portion of the turnaround.

      (5)   If a street extends only one (1) lot depth past a street intersection, no turnaround is required.

      (6)   Temporary dead-end streets shall not be permitted as an alternate to the requirements for a permanent dead-end street. The subdivider of adjacent land to a temporary dead-end street shall extend such temporary dead-end street or construct a cul-de-sac (permanent dead-end street) in accordance with Section 1105.14(a) and all other requirements of these Regulations.

      (7)   All temporary dead-end streets (stub streets) shall be constructed in their entirety once development proceeds beyond their intersection.

   (c)   One-Way Streets .  One-way streets are permitted in new subdivisions if the Planning Commission and Village Road Commissioner determines that such streets are properly integrated with the existing and proposed street system in the area.

(d)   Half Streets. 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, provided that in the opinion of the Planning Commission such right of way is necessary for the proper development of the area.

   (e)   Service or Marginal Access Streets. Marginal access streets are auxiliary or secondary streets adjacent to and generally paralleling a major roadway. A marginal street is designed to separate local traffic from through traffic and intercept and collect driveways from adjoining properties.

   Where a proposed subdivision adjoins an arterial street, a marginal access street shall be designed and constructed if the proposed subdivision design is such that residential lots would require direct vehicular access onto the arterial street. Points of access to the arterial street shall be spaced at a minimum of one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet. A planting strip having a minimum width of twenty (20) feet shall be provided between the pavement of the arterial street and the pavement of the marginal access street. The minimum width of the marginal access right of way shall be sixty (60) feet.

   (f)   Reserved.

   (g)   Private Streets. Private streets or easements used for the purpose of access to any lot, parcel or subdivision, including subdivisions approved under Ohio Revised Code 711.131, shall be subject to the platting procedures and requirements of these Regulations. Private streets and all improvements within a private street right of way or private access easement shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with Village of Lordstown Road Standards and Specifications as set forth in these Regulations. The cost for maintenance and repair of private streets shall be the responsibility of the benefiting property owners, and language to that fact shall be indicated on the final plat and acknowledged in their respective deeds to guarantee the continued maintenance of such streets.

   Service roads and easements of access leading to and providing access to parcels of land on which public utilities are located (i.e. standpipes, lift stations, substations) are exempt from the requirements of this section. Service roads and easements of access exempted from the requirements of this section shall not be used for access to any other parcel of land.

   (h)   Existing Streets. Where widening, improving, and/or abandoning of existing streets or previously dedicated unimproved streets is deemed necessary by the Village Road Commissioner to accommodate the proposed subdivision, the developer shall design and construct such work as is necessary at his or her own expense.

   (i)   Previously Dedicated Unimproved Streets. The opening, widening or extension of any street, including unimproved streets that have been previously dedicated as shown on a recorded plat in the Office of the Trumbull County Recorder, shall be constructed in compliance with the requirements of these Regulations. Construction improvement plans shall be submitted to the Village Road Commissioner for approval in accordance with Chapter 1108 prior to the commencement of any work within the right of way. All roadway and drainage improvements shall be required to be constructed within the existing dedicated right of way and within the area of all lots shown on the recorded plat serviced by such previously dedicated street in accordance with the requirements of these Regulations.
