1115.19 SPECIAL ROAD TYPES.

   (a)   Cul-de-sacs. A loop cul-de-sac is defined as having a vehicular turn-around at or near the terminus of the cul-de-sac roadway centerline. Loop cul-de-sacs shall meet the following requirements.

      (1)   The centerline length shall be no longer than 1,000 feet, measured from the terminus of the cul-de-sac to the centerline of the nearest intersecting roadway.

      (2)    The turn-around shall have a right-of-way radius of no less than 60 feet, measured from the center of the turn-around.

      (3)   The turn-around shall have a paved radius of no less than 50 feet, measured from the center of the turn-around.

      (4)   The turn-around throat approach radius shall be no less than 50 feet.

      (5)   The highest point of the cul-de-sac turn-around shall be the center point of said turn-around.

      (6)   Pavement design and construction shall be identical to the standards used in all roads of identical functional classification in the subdivision.

      (7)   Cul-de-sacs shall not have islands.

      (8)   Eyebrow cul-de-sacs shall be defined as having a turn-around at or near the point of intersection of a change in horizontal alignment of the roadway centerline.

   (b)   Stub Roads. Where the proposed development abuts undeveloped land, stub roads shall be created and constructed. In such cases, the Planning Commission may specify the location of said stub roads. The right-of-way for said stub roads shall extend to the property line of the proposed subdivision. Stub roads shall not extend more than one lot deep.

   Where the proposed development abuts an existing development with an existing stub road right-of-way, the proposed development's rights of way and roadways shall be constructed to connect to the adjoining subdivision.

   (c)   Dead-End Roads.

      (1)   Permanent dead-end roads shall not be permitted. Cul-de-sacs shall be used in place of any and all permanent dead-end roads.

      (2)   Temporary dead-end roads are permitted only as segments of a continuing road plan, subject to extension onto undeveloped land also owned by the developer, and with a plat approved by the Planning Commission. Such temporary dead-end roads shall have constructed an interim turn-around meeting all requirements.

      (3)   For the purpose of these Regulations, stub roads shall not be considered dead end roads and are exempt from the requirements of this section.
