Any private road dedication may be approved by Metro Government to become a public way only if it meets all of the following criteria:
(A) The width of the private road is no less than 18 feet, unless the Works Director recommends in writing acceptance of a lesser width for such private road.
(B) The private road only has single-family dwellings abutting it and directly connects to a public way, provided, however, that Metro Council may accept a private road that has uses other than only single-family dwellings abutting it if the Works Director recommends in writing acceptance of said private road.
(C) The applicant(s), at his or her own expense, must have a report prepared by a professional engineer, which is approved by the Metro Government's County Engineer, that demonstrates the private road meets the construction and design specifications set forth in Section 6.2.7 of the Land Development Code, or as it may thereafter be amended.
(D) The private road, plus additional property adjacent to said road, is conveyed in fee simple to Metro Government to provide a right-of-way of the same width as required by Chapter 6 of the Land Development Code, unless the Works Director recommends in writing the acceptance of a lesser width for such right-of-way.
(E) The right-of-way, as mentioned in subsection (D) above, is dedicated for public use by a major subdivision plat, which is prepared by, and at the expense of the applicant(s), and signed by all property owners abutting the road to be dedicated.
