A. Compliance Required: The street design must conform to the adopted street plan for the area as regards alignment and right of way widths. Insofar as possible, offset streets or jogs at intersections shall be avoided, in order to bring about the best development of the area.
B. Widths: Street widths must conform to the following specifications:
1. Arterial streets, not less than eighty feet (80'), including curb, gutter and sidewalk space;
2. Local service streets or minor streets which cannot be extended in the future, not less than sixty feet (60'), including curb, gutter and sidewalk space;
3. Alleys, not less than sixteen and one-half feet (161/2');
4. Pedestrian crosswalks, not less than eight feet (8');
5. Sidewalks, four feet (4') wide.
C. Grades: Grades on arterial or feeder streets shall not exceed eight percent (8%). Grades on other streets may exceed eight percent (8%) when, in the opinion of the planning commission, the best subdivision of land is thereby secured.
D. Right Angles: Streets shall intersect each other as nearly at right angles as topography and other limiting factors of good design will permit.
E. Design: Proposed streets shall be adjusted to the contours of the land so as to produce usable lots and streets of reasonable gradient.
F. Publicly Dedicated Street Required: Every subdivided property shall be served from a publicly dedicated street.
G. Arterial, Feeder Streets: On arterial streets and feeder streets, the centerline radius and curvature shall not be less than five hundred feet (500').
H. Closed Streets; Cul-De-Sacs: Streets designed to have one end permanently closed shall not be more than four hundred feet (400') long, and shall be provided at the closed end with a turnaround, with a minimum radius for the outside curb of at least forty feet (40'). No cul-de-sacs shall be permitted except where the subdivider provides enough evidence to be satisfactory to the planning commission of the need of a cul-de-sac.
I. Names: Proposed streets shall bear the name of any existing street with which they are in obvious alignment. Duplicating names of streets in existence in the territory shall not be permitted. (Prior code § 12-4-6)
