(A) The arrangement, character, width, and location of all arterial and collector thoroughfares, or extensions thereof, shall conform with the village’s major thoroughfare plan.
(B) Thoroughfares not contained in the aforementioned plan shall conform to the recommendation of the Planning Commission based upon the design standards set forth in §§ 150.062 through 150.080, §§ 150.095 to 150.119, and Appendix B of these regulations, inclusive. In addition, no final plat of land within the area in which an existing zoning ordinance is in effect shall be approved unless it conforms with such ordinance.
(1) Relation to adjoining street system. The proposed street system shall extend existing streets and rights-of-way at the same or greater width, but in no case less than the required minimum width.
(2) Street widths.
(a) The minimum width of right-of-way, measured from the lot line to lot line, shall be as shown on the major thoroughfare plan, or if not shown on such plan, shall be not less than as indicated in Table 1 through Table 3 of this subchapter.
(b) In cases where topography or other physical conditions make a street of the required minimum width impracticable, the Planning Commission may modify these requirements. Through proposed business areas, the street widths shall be increased ten feet on each side, if needed, to provide parking without interference of normal passing traffic.
(3) Additional width on existing streets. Subdivisions that adjoin existing streets shall dedicate additional rights-of-way to meet the above minimum street width requirements.
(a) The entire right-of-way shall be provided where any part of the subdivision is on both sides of the existing street.
(b) When the subdivision is located on only one side of an existing street, at least one-half of the required right-of-way, measured from the centerline of the existing roadway, shall be provided. In no case shall the resulting right-of-way width be less than 60 feet.
(4) Restriction of access.
(a) When a tract fronts on an arterial street or highway, the Planning Commission may require such lots to be provided with frontage on, and ingress/egress to, a marginal access street.
(b) The cost of design and construction of marginal access streets shall be the responsibility of the developer.
(5) Intersections.
(a) Street intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as is possible, and no intersection shall be at an angle of less than specified in Table 4 of this subchapter.
(b) Property line (right-of-way) radii at street intersections shall not be less than 20 feet and, where the angle of street intersection is less than 75 degrees, the Planning Commission may require a greater curb and/or right-of-way radius. Wherever necessary to permit the construction of a curb having a desirable radius without curtailing the sidewalk at a street corner to less than normal width, the property line (right-of-way) at such street corner shall be rounded or otherwise set back sufficiently to permit such construction.
(6) Street jogs. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than 150 feet shall not be allowed.
(7) Private streets and reserve strips.
(a) There shall be no private streets platted in any proposed subdivision or development. Every subdivided property shall be served from a publicly dedicated street.
(b) There shall be no reserve strips controlling access to streets, except where the control of such strips is definitely placed with the community under conditions approved by the Planning Commission.
(8) Alleys. Alleys shall be provided to the rear of all lots used for business purposes and shall not be provided in residential blocks, except where the developer produces evidence satisfactory to the Planning Commission of the need for alleys.
