§ 152.028 BLOCKS.
   (A)   Acre or large lot subdivisions. Where a parcel is first subdivided into large lots of such size that they can be further subdivided and conform to all requirements of this chapter, the design shall be of such form as to provide for the future opening of arterials and collector streets and for the ultimate extension and opening of local streets at such intervals as will permit a subsequent division of any parcel into smaller lots.
   (B)   Block lengths. Block lengths shall not exceed 1,000 feet unless existing conditions warrant a variance. Long blocks along arterials and highways may be required to reduce the number of intersections.
   (C)   Blocks. Blocks shall be of sufficient width to permit the platting of two tiers of lots of normal depth, except where blocks are adjacent to arterials, freeways, or expressways. Such lots shall be created to back up to such street and front onto a residential or collector street and access rights to such arterial, freeway, or expressway shall be waived by the subdivider. The City Council may grant an exception to these provisions to permit through lots which are to be developed with uses facing both streets when it is determined that such exception is warranted by the circumstances of a particular subdivision and is in compliance with an existing zoning classification.
