(A) The street system in the proposed subdivision shall relate in alignment to the existing streets in the area adjoining the subdivision. The arrangement of streets in the new subdivisions shall make provisions for the continuation of existing or designated streets as the town may designate.
(B) The development of roadways built to arterial or major collector street standards shall follow the recommendations of the transportation element of the Quartzsite General Plan, and shall also be required where needed as recommended by the Public Works Director and approved by the Town Council.
(C) The proposed street plan shall consider the future use and/or subdivision of adjoining unsubdivided property.
(D) Where a subdivision adjoins un-subdivided land, stub streets shall be provided at locations as recommended by the Public Works Director and determined by the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or Town Council to insure access and traffic circulation.
(E) All streets shall be designed to serve the proposed use of land abutting the proposed subdivision.
(F) Local streets shall be so arranged as to discourage their use by through traffic.
(G) If a subdivision borders on a street, the subdivider shall be required to improve the near half (or the equivalent thereof) of all perimeter streets.
(H) Names of streets shall be consistent with natural alignment and extensions of existing streets and new street names must be used which will not duplicate in whole or in part, or be subdivided with existing street names. All street names shall be consistent with the quartzsite roadway naming and addressing practices in place and shall be approved by the Development Review Committee prior to final approval by the governing body.
(I) The Development Review Committee may require a sketch of the tentative future street system beyond the limits of the tract adjacent to the land area presently being subdivided.
(J) If a tract is subdivided into parcels larger than ordinary building lots, such parcels shall be arranged to allow the opening of the future streets and logical further subdivision.
(K) There shall be no "reserved" strips controlling access to land dedicated or intended to be dedicated to public use.
(L) Where private streets are proposed, such streets shall be constructed to town standards of construction and shall be placed into specific "street tracts" of land. Statements shall be contained on the plat and in the deed restrictions, the homeowners association bylaws and the covenants, conditions and restrictions (CCRs) that those streets are declared private subject to an easement authorizing use by emergency and public service vehicles, and remain the permanent responsibility of the homeowners association. If at any time the streets are proposed to be dedicated to, and accepted by the town, the streets must first have been designed and constructed to standards specified by the town for public streets, and demonstrate they have been maintained to the current public street maintenance standards, as determined by the Public Works Director.
(M) Alleys may be required in residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions where needed to provide access to development due to lot sizes or other circumstances.
