(A) All provisions of this chapter are subject to provisions of Old Code Chapter 34, the Thoroughfare Plan, its revisions and successor ordinances. Certain provisions of the Thoroughfare Plan shall be evident on the preliminary plat as follows:
(1) All streets represented on the preliminary plat shall be designated for their intended use as provided in the plan, such as arterial, feeder, residential, private, or other as may hereinafter be provided.
(2) Minimum general standards shall be in accordance with the provisions of the thoroughfare plan, such as minimum longitudinal grade, minimum transverse slopes, minimum right of way width, minimum traveled way width, minimum sight distances, minimum construction standards, minimum lighting requirements or other requirements as may hereinafter be provided.
(B) Street layout and construction shall take into account the relationship of the proposed streets to existing and planned streets, major thoroughfares, adjacent developments, topographical conditions, public convenience and safety, and the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. Local streets shall be so laid out that their use by through-traffic will be discouraged. Where a new street is located in a dedicated public right-of-way and complies with the design and construction requirements for inclusion in the maintenance program of the city as appropriate, the petitioner shall dedicate the street to the city, or other applicable jurisdiction, as public improvements, after construction and acceptance by the city or other jurisdiction.
(C) Where a subdivision borders on an existing county, state or federal roadway then compliance with standards required by the bordering roadways shall equal or exceed those required by the jurisdiction owning the existing roadway.
