(2) Under special design conditions approved as a part of a cluster subdivision, or in the case of a short street section with minimum traffic service requirements, the right-of-way for minor residential streets may be reduced, but in no case to less than 40 feet and provided that the agent may require a minimum right-of-way of 50 feet to ensure continuity of the street system and appropriate future subdivision of adjacent properties.
