C. Sidewalks: Sidewalks shall be provided in conformity with the standards prescribed in section 11-5-16 of this chapter, and shall be constructed contiguous to the curb.
D. Planting Strips: Any space between the edge of the sidewalk and the right of way line, and any space between the pavement of a frontage street and the pavement of the adjacent major arterial or arterial street, limited access highway or freeway, shall be reserved for planting and all purposes provided by law within street rights of way, subject to control by the city under its ordinances and regulations.
E. Curves And Tangents: Curved streets shall have centerline radii of not less than the minimum standards prescribed in section 11-5-16 of this chapter. Suitable tangents shall be used between all curves.
F. Grades: Grades shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer.
G. Corners: At street corners the radii of right of way line connections shall be as follows:
1. At intersections involving one or more major arterial, arterial, or collector, not less than thirty feet (30').
2. At intersections involving unusual circumstances, such radii as may be required for the public safety.
3. At all other intersections, not less than twenty feet (20').
H. Intersections: Street intersections shall be as near right angles as practicable and in no case shall the angle of intersection be less than sixty five degrees (65°).
I. Alignment Of Streets At Intersection: Streets located on opposite sides of an intersecting street shall have their centerlines directly opposite each other where physically possible; and otherwise the centerlines shall be separated by at least one hundred fifty feet (150').
J. Alignment With Existing Streets (Other Than Intersections): Subdivision streets which constitute continuations of streets in contiguous territory shall be aligned so that their centerlines coincide where physically possible, and otherwise centerlines shall be continued by suitable curves.
K. Extension Of Streets To Boundary Lines:
1. Streets shall be extended directly to the boundary lines of the subdivision for the purposes of coordination and development of the existing and future street plans with respect to adjacent territory 1 .
2. Where a street extends to a boundary line of the subdivision, unless there is an existing right of way for its continuation, there shall be provided a reserve strip one foot (1') in width across the full width of the street and contiguous to the boundary line.
L. Half Streets And Streets Located Partly Within Subdivisions:
1. Notwithstanding that a portion of any existing or proposed street may lie outside of the subdivision, the planning commission shall have authority to establish the width and alignment of same.
2. Where a portion of the proposed right of way for a street consists of an undedicated remainder outside of the subdivision, a reserve strip one foot (1') in width shall be provided within the subdivision along all parts of such undedicated remainder.
3. The subdivider shall only be required to improve the portion of the street dedicated by him pursuant to this title, not including any such reserve strip.
4. If the centerline of a proposed street right of way will lie outside the subdivision, the subdivider shall nevertheless furnish sufficient additional right of way, by means of a temporary additional easement, so that there shall be a temporary half street, which, including the reserve strip, shall be at least half of the width of the ultimate proposed street right of way. Such temporary additional easement shall be abandoned for street purposes and revert to the adjoining property when the additional right of way outside of the subdivision has been acquired. The city council shall have the discretion to permit the postponement of any required improvement within such temporary additional easement by an agreement secured by improvement security, but such improvements shall be installed in any case not later than the date of acquisition of the additional right of way outside of the subdivision.
M. Cul-De-Sacs:
1. Cul-de-sacs shall terminate in an area bounded by a right of way line lying on or outside of a circle with a radius of not less than fifty feet (50').
2. The length of a cul-de-sac shall not exceed five hundred feet (500'), measured from the center of the circle mentioned in subsection M1 of this section to the closest right of way line of the connecting street, measured along the centerline of the cul-de-sac.
3. Dead end streets shall not be permitted, except where a street extends to a boundary line and it is determined that such street will be extended beyond the boundary of the subdivision within a reasonable time, in which case a temporary cul-de-sac may be required. The design of the temporary cul-de-sac shall be subject to approval by the city engineer.
N. Limiting Access To Major Streets; Frontage Streets, Etc.:
1. Where the public safety so requires, the planning commission shall have the discretion to limit direct access between a subdivision and any contiguous, major arterial or arterial street by requiring interposition of a limited access strip.
2. Where necessary for the general use of the lot owners in the subdivision or local neighborhood traffic, and for reasons of public safety, the planning commission shall have the discretion to require a frontage street separating the subdivision from a limited access strip as mentioned in subsection N1 of this section or from a freeway or limited access highway.
O. Street Names And House Numbers: Street names shall conform with the official plan of street names and house numbers of the city. (Ord. 2000-05, 4-25-2000)
