(A) General. If a proposed subdivision includes land that is zoned for commercial purposes the layout of the subdivision shall meet such special provisions as the Commission finds appropriate and may require. A non-residential subdivision shall also be subject to all the requirements set forth in the zoning ordinance. Site plan approval and non-residential plat approval may precede simultaneously at the discretion of the Plan Commission. A non-residential subdivision shall be subject to all the requirements of these regulations, as well as such additional standards required by the Commission and shall conform to the proposed land use and standards established in the comprehensive plan, official map, and zoning ordinance. All shopping centers and other nonresidential subdivisions of buildings for leasehold shall be subject to the relevant provisions of this chapter.
(B) Standards. In addition to the principles and standards in these regulations the applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commission that the street and parcel pattern proposed are appropriate for the uses anticipated and adequately take into account other uses in the vicinity. The following principles and standards shall be observed:
(1) Proposed commercial parcels shall be suitable in minimum area and dimensions to the types of development anticipated. Proposals for incremental lot by lot subdivision must be made clear in a statement on the plat which is satisfactory to the Commission;
(2) Street rights-of-way and pavement construction shall be adequate to accommodate the type and volume of traffic anticipated to be generated thereupon;
(3) Special requirements may be imposed by the Commission upon recommendation of the town with respect to street, curb, gutter, and sidewalk design and construction;
(4) Special requirements may be imposed by the Commission with respect to the installation of public utilities, including water, sewer, and storm water drainage and preprocessing of sewage. Special requirements may also be imposed regarding the storage and disposal of toxic materials;
(5) Every effort shall be made to protect adjacent residential areas from potential nuisance from a proposed commercial subdivision, including the provision of extra depth in parcels backing onto existing or potential residential development and provision of a permanently landscaped buffer strip where necessary;
(6) Street carrying non-residential traffic, especially truck traffic, shall not normally be extended to the boundaries of adjacent existing or potentially residential areas.

(A) The plan, arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of streets within and on the perimeter of the plat shall be logically related to the public convenience and safety, existing and planned streets in conformity with the comprehensive plan and thoroughfare plan, and existing and proposed topographical and other conditions, so as to:
(1) Produce reasonable grades and suitable sites for the uses proposed;
(2) Serve vehicular and pedestrian traffic adequately and provide ease of circulation within, ingress to and egress from said proposed platted area;
(3) Create a desirable local subdivision plan consistent with the proposed uses.
(B) Such street plan shall provide for logical extension, continuation, or completion of all properly located existing streets, either constructed or appearing on any validly recorded plat or survey, or valid plat previously approved by the Commission.
(Ord. 174, § 405, passed 6-11-90) Penalty, see § 153.999
All proposed plats submitted for Commission approval under the provisions of this chapter shall allocate adequate areas for streets, in conformity with the comprehensive plan, and thoroughfare plan, and shall designate and label all such streets thereon in accordance with the following definitions, specifications and requirements regarding platted width, right-of-way and control of access thereto.
(A) Collector street. Any street designated and labeled as a “collector street” shall be designed, planned and intended to serve as a collector and distributor of vehicular traffic in conformance with the comprehensive plan, to carry vehicular traffic to and from the major arterial road system of the county, with partial control of access thereto, and shall include but not be limited to entrance streets of residential subdivisions. Minimum width of right-of-way for a collector street shall be 50 feet. Partial control of access to collector streets shall be exercised so as to permit access to each lot abutting thereon.
(B) Local access street. Any street designated and labeled as a “local access street” shall be designed, planned, and intended, in conformance with the comprehensive plan, to provide access to abutting lots. Minimum width of right-of-way for a local access street shall be 50 feet.
