All construction pertaining to roads, drainage and underground utilities shall conform with the latest edition of the "Access Management Manual," the County Engineer Specs and Details and the Latest Edition of the "State of Ohio Department of Transportation Construction and Material Specifications", except as modified or otherwise specified herein.
(a) Local Streets. Local streets shall provide direct and full access to each lot and shall be designed so that their use by through traffic will be discouraged. The street system shall be so designed that all proposed streets shall be in general conformity with a plan for the most advantageous development of the entire neighborhood. The streets shall be extended to the boundaries of the tract to be recorded unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions, or unless, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, such extension is not necessary or desirable for the coordination of the layout of the Subdivision with the development of adjacent tracts. Dead-end streets or cul-de-sacs will be approved only when necessitated by topography or other physical conditions or where they are appropriate for the type of development contemplated. For fire and safety emergency access purposes each lot in a Major Subdivision may be required to have two (2) means of access. The emergency access issue will be reviewed at the Concept Plan Stage (See, Section 1103.07(b)) to determine a solution).
(b) Parallel Streets. Parallel Streets (e.g. access or service road) may be required along an existing or proposed major arterial thoroughfare to provide access to lots along such major arterial thoroughfares.
These specifications and details, are for average soil conditions. Where in the opinion of the County Engineer, soil conditions are below average, the County Engineer may require the Developer to submit a soil study and adjustments in design to conform with the conditions. Where in the opinion of the Developer and/or the agent of the Developer, soil conditions are above average, he may submit a soil study to the County Engineer for the consideration of adjustments in design to conform with conditions.
The County Engineer may also require adjustments in design to conform with special conditions inherent within a particular subdivision, such as, but not limited to wetlands, quicksand, springs, and landslides.
