(a) Street layout shall be designed for the most advantageous development of the entire neighboring area. All proposed streets shall be in alignment with existing planned or platted streets with which they are to connect.
(b) The layout shall be such as to keep interference with main traffic flows to a minimum.
(c) Whenever the proposed subdivision contains or is adjacent to a railroad right of way or a limited access highway, provision shall be made for a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right of way at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the land between such street and the railroad or limited access highway. Such distance shall be determined with due consideration of the minimum distance required for approaches to future or existing grade separations.
(d) Proposed streets shall be adjusted to the contour of the land so as to produce usable lots, streets of reasonable gradient and economy in cost of improvements.
(e) Certain proposed streets shall be extended to the boundary line of the tract to be subdivided sufficiently to provide for normal circulation of traffic within the neighboring area. No reserved strips blocking extension of improvements of adjacent property will be permitted.
(f) Wherever there exists a dedicated or platted half street or alley adjacent to the tract to be subdivided and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the other half shall be platted with sufficient additional land to make a minimum fifty-foot street.
(g) Alleys may be required in all Business and Industrial Districts. Except where justified by extreme conditions, alleys will not be approved in Residential Districts.
(h) Residential streets shall be so laid out as to discourage their use as primary streets and to provide adequate protection from nearby traffic hazards.
