(A) Major streets shall be designed in accordance to standards established at time of platting. All major streets shall be not less than 80-foot rights-of-way, nor less than 48-foot pavement. Additional width of parkways shall be required adjacent to residential areas and on major entryways to the village. The pavement shall be concrete. Sidewalks and curbs shall be provided on all major streets within one mile of the village. All the standards shall apply to major streets unless waived by the village’s Plan Commission and Village Board.
(B) The access to major streets shall be strictly controlled. No single-family residential drive shall enter directly into a major street.
(C) Streets entering major streets shall be limited to one-fourth mile intervals.
(D) Major streets shall be spaced at one-mile intervals within the built up urban area.
(E) (1) Provisions shall be made for vehicular and pedestrian access to residential property abutting major streets either by provisions: marginal access streets or by backing lots to the major street and providing access by a collector, minor or cul-de-sac street one lot depth removed and with a visual barrier established in a non-access reservation strip along the rear property line (abutting the major street).
(2) These standards are established for the purpose of providing protection to residential properties and to separate through and local traffic. The specific method used shall be determined by the village’s Plan Commission in the pre-application review.
(F) All major streets shall have constructed with access control rights granted to the village and in commercial areas joint frontage road or shared access points may be required.
(G) All new subdivisions along limited access collector and limited access major streets shall be arranged to provide access to such highways at intervals not less than one-fourth-mile intervals, except where impractical or impossible due to existing property divisions or topography. There shall be no other access to a limited access major street or a limited access collector street, except as noted above. Also, roads and streets within such subdivision shall be arranged to permit access to adjacent future subdivisions without encroachment upon this regulation.
(H) Commercial and industrial subdivisions along major streets shall be responsible for special traffic improvements to adjacent major streets. Such improvement shall be as required by the Village Board after recommendations by the Village Engineer.
