   (D)   Returns at intersections shall be made concentric and shall be rounded by a radius of not less than 20 feet at the right-of-way line, and not less than 30 feet at the back of curb line.
   (E)   All street intersections shall be built in such a way that whenever practical, the cross-slopes thereon do not exceed 3%.
   (F)   Where any street intersection will involve earth banks or existing vegetation in a triangular area depicted in Ch. 154, App. A, of this code of ordinances, the developer shall cut such ground and/or vegetation, including trees, in connection with the grading of the public right-of-way.
