(2) Where no existing plats control, the blocks in residential subdivisions shall normally not exceed 1,320 feet in length, except where topography or other conditions justify a departure from the maximum.
(3) In blocks longer than 800 feet pedestrian ways and/or easement through the block may be required near the center of the block.

(B) Block width.
