(a) The minimum width of any proposed street shall be fifty feet. Council, upon recommendation of the City Planning Commission, may require streets wider than fifty feet wherever in its judgment provision for public travel makes the wider street desirable, or wherever any general plan of street development adopted by the Commission and Council requires the establishment of streets of greater width.
(b) At the intersection of the side lines of streets, existing or proposed, turnouts having a minimum radius of twenty feet must be provided.
(c) Where practical, intersecting streets shall be provided so that no block shall be longer than 2,400 feet.
(d) In order that proposed streets may be as nearly coterminus as possible with existing streets in adjoining allotments, due provision shall be made for the direct continuation of all existing streets which extend to the boundaries of a proposed allotment. In case of adjacent allotments separated by existing thoroughfares, due provision shall be made for continuing, in a practical manner, such of the existing streets through the proposed allotment as may be necessary for public requirements, subject to the approval of the Commission and Council.
(e) Where the land for a proposed allotment adjoins unallotted property capable of being allotted, the streets in such proposed allotment need only be carried to the boundaries thereof.
(f) Only where conditions make it impossible to extend streets to the boundary of the allotment will so-called "dead-end" streets be approved, subject to the recommendation of the Commission and the approval of Council. All such "dead-end" streets shall terminate at a turning circle having a minimum outside diameter of 120 feet. In all other instances streets must be carried to the boundaries of the allotment.
(g) The location and widths of proposed streets shall be such as to fit in with any plan of street development adopted by the Commission or other public authority. Due regard shall be given to existing streets or streets capable of being established in surrounding property, so that streets may be laid out through adjacent or neighboring allotments with reasonable continuity of location and width.
(h) The streets shown on the plat shall be named so that there will be no duplication of any existing street name within the County insofar as is practical.
(i) Sublots must meet the requirements of the Zoning Code as to frontage and area.
(j) No plat or map of a proposed street or allotment showing reserve strips controlling access to public ways, or showing strips of land which will not prove taxable for special improvements, will be approved. However, such reserve strips may be shown when the control and disposal of land comprising such strips are definitely placed with the City under conditions meeting the approval of the City Engineer and the Director of Law.
(k) Any situation concerning platting regulations which is not covered by these Subdivision Regulations must be accepted by the Commission before being submitted for approval of Council.
