(A) Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. A proposed intersection of two new streets at an angle of less than 75 degrees shall not be acceptable. Not more than two streets shall intersect at any one point unless specifically approved by the Planning and Zoning Board.
(B) Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing street shall, wherever practicable, coincide with any existing intersections on the opposite side of such street. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than 150 feet shall not be permitted. Where streets intersect major streets, their alignment shall be continuous. This requirement shall not apply if the Planning and Zoning Board finds the street jog is practical since it is designed to connect with a preexisting street.
(C) Minimum curb radius at the intersection of any two local streets shall be at least 25 feet. Alley intersections and abrupt changes in alignment with a block shall have the corners cut off in accordance with standard engineering practice to permit safe vehicular movement.
(D) Intersections shall be designed with a flat grade wherever practical. In hilly or rolling areas, at the approach to an intersection, a leveling area shall be provided having not greater than 2% grade a distance of 60 feet, measured from the nearest right-of-way line of the intersection street.
(E) Where any street intersection will involve earth banks or existing vegetation inside any lot corner that could create a traffic hazard by limiting visibility, the developer shall cut such ground and/or vegetation (including trees) in connection with the grading of the public right-of-way to the extent deemed necessary to provide an adequate sight distance.
