Blocks shall be not less than 600 feet nor more than 1,320 feet in length, unless, in the judgment of the City Council, a lesser or greater length is necessary to secure efficient use of land or desired street patterns. They shall be of sufficient width to contain two tiers of lots of minimum depth, unless the lots will front on arterial or collector streets, or unless topographical conditions or the size of structures proposed to be erected render impracticable the creation of two tiers of lots, in which event the City Council may approve a single tier of lots of minimum depth. If a block exceeds 600 feet in length, and the City Council shall so direct, one or more strips of land, which shall be not less than ten feet in width and shall extend across the block at such location or locations as the City Council shall designate, shall be dedicated to public use for crosswalks; and one or more easements, which shall be not less than 20 feet in width, and shall extend across the block at such location or locations as the City Council shall designate, shall be created for public utility lines.
