(a) Street Widths.
(1) The width of streets shall conform to the width designated on the Thoroughfare Plan and on any subsequent amendments thereto.
(2) Streets shall have the following minimum right-of-way widths:
Type of Street | Width (ft.) |
Arterial | 80 |
Boulevard | 100 |
Collector | 60 |
Cul-de-sac | 60 |
Local | 60 |
Minor | 50 |
(3) Right-of-way widths in PUD-zoned areas shall be subject to the approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission and shall be not less than 50 feet. An additional ten feet of width shall be required where parking is provided on both sides of the street, except for minor streets.
(4) Whenever any subdivision or resubdivision provides lots in the interior of existing blocks, such lots shall front upon, or have proper access to, a permanently dedicated street which connects with one of the streets bounding the block. All dead-end streets shall have adequate provision for the turning of vehicles in the interior portions of the block. Such turning area shall be a circular drive having an overall diameter of not less than 110 feet to the right-of-way lines.
(5) Whenever there exists a dedicated or platted portion of a street adjacent to the tract to be subdivided, the remaining portion of the street shall be platted or dedicated to provide a minimum right- of-way of 60 feet or a right-of-way as shown on the Thoroughfare Plan.
(6) Property lines at street intersections shall be rounded to a minimum radius of 25 feet.
(b) Blocks and Lots.
(1) No block shall be longer than 1,500 feet between street lines.
(2) Where blocks are over 750 feet in length, the Planning and Zoning Commission may require a crosswalk near the center of the block. The right-of-way for any such walk shall be not less than ten feet in width and such walk space shall be improved with at least a four-foot wide walk.
(3) All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines, unless a variation to this rule will give a better street and lot plan. Lots with double frontage should be avoided, if possible.
(4) Corner lots shall have extra width to permit the maintenance of building lines on both front and side streets, as required by the Zoning Code.
(5) The minimum area and width of all lots shall conform to the area regulations of the zoning district in which the lot is located.
(c) Easements. Easements shall be provided where required and necessary.
