(A) Purpose. Streets in the subdivision shall provide for the continuation of existing streets of adjoining subdivisions and for the proper protection of principal streets into adjoining properties which are not yet subdivided in order to make possible necessary community services extensions.
(B) Street arrangement.
(1) The minimum right-of-way, road surface width and maximum street grades for streets or pedestrian ways included in any subdivision shall not be less than the minimum dimensions for the classification as follows:
Class | Right-of-Way Width | Minimum Width of Road Surface | Maximum Street Grade |
Collector street | 80 feet | 44 feet | 5% |
Minor or local street | 66 feet | 36 feet | 8% |
Marginal service and access road | 60 feet | 24 feet | 8% |
Alley | 20 feet | 16 feet | 8% |
Pedestrian way | 10 feet | – | – |
* Except when, upon the recommendation of the City Engineer, the topography warrants a greater maximum. | |||
(2) Minor streets shall be arranged so their use by through traffic will be discouraged.
(C) Dead end streets. The creation of dead end or loop residential streets will only be used where the Planning Commission finds this type of street development will not interfere with normal traffic circulation in the area. All dead end streets, if approved, must be provided with a cul-de-sac which has a right-of-way radius of 50 feet.
