§ 154.081 STREETS AND ALLEYS; ARRANGEMENT.
   (A)   All streets shall be properly integrated with the existing and proposed system of thoroughfares and dedicated rights-of-way as may be required by the Planning and Zoning Board established on the official map.
   (B)   All thoroughfares shall be properly related to special traffic generators, such as industries, business districts, schools, churches and shopping centers; to population densities; and to the pattern of existing and proposed land uses.
   (C)   Minor streets shall be laid out to conform as much as possible to the topography, to discourage use by through traffic, to permit efficient drainage and utility systems, and to require the minimum number of streets necessary to provide convenient, safe access to property.
   (D)   The rigid rectangular gridiron street pattern need not necessarily be adhered to, and the use of curvilinear streets, culs-de-sac or U-shaped streets shall be encouraged where such use will result in a more desirable layout.
   (E)   Proposed streets shall be extended to the boundary lines of the tract to be subdivided unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions, or unless in the opinion of the Planning and Zoning Board such extension is not necessary or desirable for the coordination of the layout of the subdivision with the existing layout or the most advantageous future development of adjacent tracts.
   (F)   In business and industrial developments, the streets and other access ways shall be planned in connection with the grouping of buildings, location of rail facilities and the provision of alleys, truck loading and maneuvering areas so as to minimize conflict of movement between the various types of traffic.
   (G)   Streets shall be designed and located in relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions and natural terrain features, such as streams and existing tree growth, to public convenience and safety, and in appropriate relation to the proposed uses of land to be served by such streets.
