(a) Generally. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade, construction and location of all streets shall conform to the Major Thoroughfare Plan of the Village, or subsequent amendments thereto, and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, topographical conditions and public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. The street pattern shall discourage through traffic in the interior of a subdivision. The subdivider shall provide, within the boundaries of the subdivision plat, the necessary right of way for the widening, continuance or alignment of such streets in conformity with the Major Thoroughfare Plan.
(b) Cul-de-Sacs and Loop-Type Local Streets. The design and improvement standards contained in Table I, following the text of Chapter 1121, are suggested minimums for cul-de-sacs and loop-type local streets in residential subdivisions. All such streets shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the standards specified in Chapter 1121.
(c) Collector Streets. The design and improvement standards contained in such Table I are suggested minimums for all collector streets. All such streets shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the standards specified in Chapter 1121.
(d) Intersections.
(1) Multiple intersections involving junctions of more than two streets shall be avoided.
(2) Four-way intersections of local streets should be avoided and three-way or T-intersections should be encouraged wherever possible.
(e) Special Street Types. The following requirements shall apply to special street types:
(1) Permanent dead-end streets shall not be permitted. Temporary dead-end streets shall be permitted only as part of a continuing street plan, and only if a temporary turnaround, satisfactory to the Planning Commission in design, is provided, and if provisions for maintenance and removal are advanced.
(2) Dedication of new half-streets shall not be permitted. Where a dedicated or platted half-street exists adjacent to the tract being subdivided, the other half shall be platted.
(3) Where a subdivision adjoins an arterial street, a marginal access street shall be designed, if the subdivision design is such that residential lots would require direct vehicular access onto the arterial street. Points of access to the arterial street shall be spaced at a minimum of 1,320 feet. A planting strip having a minimum width of twenty feet shall be provided between the pavement of the arterial street and the pavement of the marginal access street. The minimum width of the marginal access right of way shall be sixty feet.
(4) Alleys shall not be approved in residential subdivisions, except where justified by extreme conditions. Alleys may be required in commercial and industrial districts if other provisions cannot be made for adequate service access. The minimum widths for alleys shall be twenty feet for the right of way and eighteen feet for the pavement width.
(f) Streets for Commercial Subdivisions. Streets serving business developments and accessory parking areas shall be planned to connect with arterial streets so as not to generate traffic on local streets. The intersections of driveways from parking areas with arterial or collector streets shall be located so as to cause the least possible interference with traffic movement on the streets, shall be located not less than 100 feet from the intersection of an arterial or collector street with any other street and shall be spaced not less than 200 feet from each other. The Commission may require marginal access streets to provide maximum safety and convenience.
(g) Streets for Industrial Subdivisions. Collector streets for industrial subdivisions shall be planned to serve industrial areas exclusively and shall connect with arterial streets so that no industrial traffic will be directed into any residential street. The intersections of service streets from parking areas with arterial or collector streets shall be not less than 100 feet from the intersection of the arterial or collector street with any other street. Streets shall be planned to be extended to the boundaries of any adjoining land planned for industry, except for severe physical conditions or if the Commission finds that such extension is not in accordance with the approved plan of the area.
