(A) The arrangement of streets in a new subdivision shall make provision for the continuation of the principal existing streets in the adjoining subdivisions (or their proper projection when adjoining property is not subdivided) insofar as they may be necessary for public requirements. Streets that are continuous shall bear the same name throughout. The City Planning Commission may, in addition, require the continuation of such minor streets as are necessary for the extension of public improvements or for access by adjoining property owners. Where, in the opinion of the City Planning Commission, topography makes such conditions or conformity impracticable, or where the Council or the City Planning Commission has adopted a plan for a community or neighborhood area of which the subdivision is a part, and such plan provides for coordination with the street system of the city different from said continuations or projections of existing streets, and the subdivider’s plat conforms to such community or neighborhood plan, the Council may approve the subdivider’s plat.
(B) Where land lies adjacent to the lands embraced in a plat, which in the opinion of the City Planning Commission is suitable for subdividing but which has not yet been subdivided, a strip of land within the bounds of the plat two feet in width and abutting the boundary line separating such unplatted
land from the plat shall be reserved for the full length of a half street, or other public way, which abuts said boundary line and for the full width of any street or other public way terminating at said boundary line. All such reservations shall be designated by the plat as “Two-Foot Reservation”, and held by the owner as a reservation until adjacent lands along the boundary and outside the plat shall be dedicated or otherwise established as a street or other public property, at which time such “Two-Foot Reservation” shall automatically become a street or other public property, all of which shall be stated in the dedication.
(C) Where the plat submitted covers only a part of the subdivider’s plat, a sketch of the prospective future design of the unsubmitted part shall be furnished, and the street system of the part submitted shall be considered in the light of adjustments in connection with the street system of the part not submitted.
(D) Where the parcel is subdivided into larger tracts than for building lots, such parcels shall be divided so as to allow for the opening of major streets and the ultimate extension of adjacent minor streets.
(E) Subdivisions showing unplatted strips or private streets as the only means of connecting two or more public streets will not receive approval.
(F) Insofar as is practical, acute angles between streets at their intersections are to be avoided.
(G) (1) Names of new streets shall not duplicate existing street names either by sound or sight; however, any proposed street which, in future plats, can be extended in a logical manner to connect with an existing named street shall bear the same name.
(2) All proposed street names shall be approved by the County Road Commission.
