The road layout shall be designed for the most advantageous development of the entire neighboring area. All proposed roads shall be in alignment with existing planned or platted roads with which they are to connect.
(a) The layout shall be such as to keep interference with main traffic flows to a minimum.
(b) Wherever the proposed subdivision contains or is adjacent to a railroad right-of- way, or limited access highway, provision shall be made for a road approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the land between such road and railroad or limited access highway. Such distance shall be determined with due consideration of the minimum distance required for approaches to future or existing grade separations.
Where a subdivision adjoins a U.S. or State highway, or primary or secondary street as shown on the Comprehensive Plan, the minimum interval between street or highway access points to the major street shall be 300 feet.
(c) Proposed roads shall be adjusted to the contour of the land so as to produce usable lots, streets of reasonable gradient and economy in cost of improvements.
(d) Certain proposed roads shall be extended to the boundary line of the tract to be subdivided sufficiently to provide for normal circulation of traffic within the neighboring area. No reserved strips blocking extension of improvements of adjacent property wi11 be permitted.
(e) Wherever there exists a dedicated or platted half-road adjacent to the tract to be subdivided and approved by the City and Planning Commission, the other half shall be platted.
(f) Alleys will not be approved.
(g) Residential roads shall be so laid out as to discourage their use as primary roads and to provide adequate protection from nearby traffic hazards.
(h) A turnaround shall be provided at all temporary dead-end roads where two or more lots face such dead-end road, or where the road is more than 250 feet in length.
