(a) Streets designed to serve developments in manufacturing districts shall not be permitted to interconnect or to generate traffic upon local residential streets.
(b) A minimum right-of-way of sixty feet shall be dedicated on any new street in a subdivision in a manufacturing district or along any existing street in the area of a proposed subdivision. A greater right-of-way may be required in order to provide room for the safe movement of traffic to be generated, for safe access to off-street parking and off-street loading facilities and for adequate access for fire-fighting equipment.
(c) Vehicular access need not be provided from every lot to a public road. Ingress and egress should be designed and coordinated with the potential layout and the anticipated magnitude of traffic, and shall be approved by the Director of Service and the Planning Commission.
(d) A street buffer strip shall be provided and maintained on each developed property in a location between the sidewalk (where one exists or is proposed) and the curb or pavement edge of an adjacent public road. The entire area between the sidewalk and the curb shall be landscaped with grass and trees or equivalent landscaping approved by the Zoning Administrator.
(e) In addition to the above requirements, a minimum grass-covered landscaped buffer strip or landscaped mound, twelve feet in width with a six-inch high cement curbing, is required from the sidewalk (where one exists or is proposed) to any parking area or driveway aisle that is located in a required yard abutting a public road. In addition to grass cover, the perimeter parking buffer strip or landscaped mound shall contain a continuous line of evergreen shrubs, planted at intervals of no more than five feet on centers and at an initial height of at least two feet, and a continuous row of trees spaced at intervals of no more than twenty feet on centers and at an initial height of at least eight feet. Such tree or shrub covers over three feet in height, shall be so located within the perimeter parking strip so as not to obstruct proper sight distance at intersecting parking aisles or where walkways intersect with vehicular driveway aisles.
(f) Both the street buffer strip and the twelve-foot wide perimeter parking buffer strip shall be continuous and shall extend along the entire length of the front lot line that abuts a public right-of-way, except for areas pierced by walkway or driveway aisles to the extent necessary to provide safe ingress and egress to the property.
