Whenever the proposed subdivision contains or is adjacent to a limited access highway or railroad right-of-way, the design shall provide the following treatment.
(A) (1) When lots within the proposed subdivision back upon the right-of-way of an existing or proposed limited access highway or a railroad, a planting strip at least 60 feet in depth shall be provided adjacent to the highway or railroad in addition to the normal lot depth.
(2) This strip shall be a part of the platted lots, but shall have the following restriction lettered on the face of the plat: “This strip is reserved for the planting of trees and shrubs; the building of structures and placement of longitudinal easements for utilities hereon is prohibited”.
(B) Commercial and industrial properties shall have provided, on each side of the limited access highway or railroad, streets approximately parallel to and at a suitable distance from such highway or railroad for the appropriate use of the land between such streets and highway or railroad, but not less than 150 feet.
(C) (1) Streets parallel to a limited access highway or railroad right-of-way, when intersecting a high collector street and highway or collector street which crosses said railroad or highway, shall be located at a minimum distance of 250 feet from said highway or railroad right-of-way.
(2) Such distance, where desirable and practicable, shall be determined with due consideration of the minimum distance required for the future separation of grades by means of appropriate approach gradients.
(D) Local streets immediately adjacent and parallel to railroad rights-of-way shall be avoided, and the location of local streets immediately adjacent to high collector streets and highways and to railroad rights-of-way shall be avoided in residential areas.
