(a) Flatland Subdivisions. The following requirements are applicable to all flat land subdivisions within the jurisdiction of the City Development Department:
(1) Pavement widths for arterial and collector streets will be as designated in the Thoroughfare Plan. Where required to be provided as part of the subdivision, the subdivider will be responsible for twenty-seven feet. The difference, if any, between the cost of the portion to be provided at the expense of the subdivider including the cost of curb and gutter, if any, and that of the total width designated in the Thoroughfare Plan shall be borne by the City or by the Department of Highways of West Virginia when applicable, unless it is determined by the Commission that such greater width will benefit the subdivider in proportion to its cost.
(2) Local streets, minor streets and dead-end streets shall have minimum widths of twenty-two feet except where curb and gutter are required; the total width, face to face of curb, shall be twenty-four feet. The pavement of a turning circle at the end of dead-end street shall have a minimum outside diameter of sixty feet. A "T" or "Y"-shaped, paved space when approved by the Department shall extend entirely across the width of the street right- of-way and shall be at least sixteen feet wide with the flared portion rounded by minimum radii of twenty feet.
(3) Alleys shall have minimum widths of twenty feet.
(4) Streets shall be graded full width and fully constructed with a concrete pavement of a minimum thickness of six inches or of asphaltic concrete or other material of equivalent quality. If the classification of the street justifies the construction of a thicker section, the additional cost thereof shall be borne by the City or the Department of Highways, depending upon the agency having jurisdiction.
(5) Alleys, where required, will be constructed with a concrete pavement of a minimum thickness of six inches or of asphaltic concrete or of other material of equivalent quality. This requirement may be varied by the Department if, in their opinion, the requirement imposes too severe a restriction when related to the projected use of the alley.
(b) Hillside Subdivisions. The following requirements are applicable to all hillside subdivisions within the jurisdiction of the Development Department:
(2) Local streets, minor streets and dead-end streets shall have minimum widths of twenty-two feet except where curb and gutter are required; the total width, face to face of curb, shall be twenty-four feet. These requirements may be reduced to a minimum width of eighteen feet, except where curb and gutter are required; the total width, face to face of curb, shall be twenty feet, if off-street parking bays are provided integral to the street and on the uphill side thereof at locations throughout the subdivision readily accessible to the lots therein, so as to permit the elimination of all on-street parking. Such bays shall contain, in total, within the subdivision three spaces per residential lot, such number not to include those spaces required by the Zoning Ordinance. The required number of parking bay spaces may be reduced if additional parking spaces are to be provided on the lots in the subdivisions. The required number of parking bays may in those instances be reduced by the additional on-lot spaces. The pavement of a turning circle at the end of a dead-end street shall have a minimum outside diameter of sixty feet. A "T" or "Y"-shaped, paved space when approved by the Department, shall extend entirely across the width of the street right of way and shall be at least sixteen feet wide with the flared portion rounded by a minimum radii of twenty feet.
