(A) Whenever any subdivision abuts an existing street that is narrower than the standards indicated in this subchapter, the developer shall dedicate sufficient right-of-way on the side abutting the subdivision to permit compliance with those standards at some future date.
(B) Every developer shall, at his or her own expense, improve existing streets within his or her subdivision to the standards imposed herein.
(C) Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed minor arterial street, the Board of Trustees may require that access to said street be limited by one of the following means:
(1) Lots be subdivided so that they back onto the minor arterial street and front onto a parallel land access street, thereby creating double frontage lots, and that the developer install screening in a reserve strip along the rear lot lines of such lots;
(2) The developer create a series of cul-de-sacs, U-shaped streets or short loops entered from and generally at right angles to the minor arterial street, with the rear lot lines of the lots at the termini of such streets backing onto the minor arterial; or
(3) The developer create a frontage road, separated from the minor arterial street by a planting strip, but having access thereto at suitable points.
(D) New residential streets shall be planned and laid out to discourage traffic through the subdivision, by avoiding a rigid rectangular street pattern, and by instead utilizing curvilinear streets, cul-de-sacs or U-shaped streets to effect a more desirable street layout and minimize traffic between streets outside the subdivision.
