A. All permanent dead-end streets shall terminate in a cul-de-sac constructed according to these Rules and Regulations. The Planning Board may prohibit the use or limit the length of dead-end street(s) where necessary in order to ensure adequate and safe circulation of vehicular traffic and to efficiently provide for public utilities and services. In considering a request to allow a dead-end street, the Planning Board shall evaluate the potential impact on the neighborhood, including public safety; the provision of Town services and utilities; and the potential for road connectivity to existing and potential future development.
B. Whenever possible, cul-de-sacs shall be temporary and provide for future access to adjacent property. Where streets are terminated temporarily, and may be further extended at a future time, a temporary cul-de-sac shall be constructed as specified in these Rules and Regulations. A defeasible easement shall be granted to the Town for that portion of a cul-de-sac right-of-way which would be abandoned when temporary cul-de-sac is extended. See Appendix B for a diagram of the cul-de-sac detail.
