(A) The city may consider approval of private streets and access easements under the following circumstances:
(1) When the street is a cul-de-sac or loop street;
(2) When the street will serve a very limited group of people and is designed and situated so as to discourage use by the general public;
(3) When the street is proposed in a location for which adequate right-of-way does not exist to meet public street standards because of natural topographical conditions; or
(4) When the street will serve as access and/or required frontage for only one single-family dwelling unit.
(B) Private streets and access easements shall meet all requirements for public improvements with the exception that private streets and access easements which serve as public access to or provide required frontage for only one single-family residence need not be terminated with a circular turnaround. All private streets and access easement streets shall be installed and constructed in accordance with plans, profiles and cross sections as per city standards submitted to and approved by the city.
(C) The owners and/or assigns of private streets and access easements shall be responsible for maintenance of said streets and the city shall have no liability for injuries or damages sustained on the premises.
