(A) Street layout shall conform to the duly adopted and published General Development Plan or the portion thereof relating to streets and traffic. The arrangement of streets in the subdivision shall provide for the continuation of streets in adjacent subdivisions, where such extensions are deemed desirable by the Planning Commission and Village Council, and where such extension is not precluded by topographic or other existing conditions. The layout shall provide for proper projection of principal streets into adjoining properties not yet subdivided. In general, all such streets shall have a width at least as great as the street being extended.
(B) Local streets shall be laid out so as to discourage their use by through traffic.
(C) Streets shall be arranged in proper relation to topography so as to result in usable lots, safe streets, and reasonable grades, both for the streets and for driveways intersecting therewith.
(D) The street layout shall not isolate lands from existing public streets or roads, unless suitable access is provided, and that such access be granted by easement or dedicated to public use. Slight jogs in continuous streets at points of intersection with other streets shall not be permitted. Where offsets cannot be avoided, a minimum distance of 125 feet shall be established between centerlines of the intersecting streets.
(E) When future connections to adjacent areas are to be provided, the land for such connection shall be covered by an easement and shall be designated future road on the various plats. A document conveying the easement for road purposes shall be filed with the village at the time of filing of the preliminary plat for final approval. The easement shall conform to the right of way standards of this chapter.
(F) Intersection of local or residential streets with collector and arterial streets shall be reduced to a reasonable minimum but should, in general, be at least 500 feet apart, centerline to centerline, to preserve the traffic carrying capacity of the collector and arterial streets, and to reduce the potential of accidents at such intersections. In general, all streets should intersect each other so that for a distance of at least 100 feet the street is approximately at right angles to the street it joins. In no case shall an intersection form an angle of less than 80 degrees. No more than 2 streets shall cross at 1 intersection. All street construction shall be centered on the street right-of-way unless the Village Engineer approves an exception.
