(A) Street location and arrangements. When a major street plan has been adopted, subdivision streets shall be required to conform to the plan.
(B) Local or minor streets. The streets shall be so arranged as to discourage their use by through traffic.
(C) Street continuation and extension. The arrangement of streets shall provide for the continuation of existing streets from adjoining areas into new subdivisions, unless otherwise approved by the Commission and the Board.
(D) Stub streets. Where adjoining areas are not subdivided, the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall be extended to the boundary lines of the tract to make provision for the future projection of streets into adjacent areas.
(E) Relation to topography. Streets shall be arranged in proper relation to topography so as to result in usable lots, safe streets and reasonable gradients.
(F) Alleys. Alleys shall not be permitted to areas of detached single or two-family residences.
(G) Marginal access streets. Where a subdivision abuts or contains an arterial street, the township may require:
(1) Marginal access streets approximately parallel to each side of the right-of-way, not less than 35 feet in width; and
(2) Such other treatment as it deems necessary for the adequate protection of residential properties and to afford separation of through and local traffic.
(H) Cul-de-sac streets. Cul-de-sacs shall not be more than 600 feet in length. Special consideration shall be given to longer cul-de-sacs under certain topographic conditions or other unusual situations. Cul-de-sacs shall terminate with an adequate turn-around with a minimum radius of 60 feet for right-of-way.
(I) Half streets. Half streets shall generally be prohibited except where unusual circumstances make it essential to the reasonable development of a tract in conformance with these regulations and where satisfactory assurance for dedication of the remaining part of the street is provided. Whenever a tract to be subdivided borders on an existing half or partial street, the other part of the street shall be dedicated within the tract.
(J) Private streets. Private streets and roads shall be prohibited.
