1270.07 CORNER CLEARANCE DESIGN STANDARDS.
   (a)   Corner clearance is the distance from an intersection to the closest driveway or street, measured from the intersection radius to the inside edge of the driveway or street (see Figure 7). The purpose of corner clearance requirements is to preserve safe and efficient traffic movement within the functional area of an intersection.
      (1)   Corner clearance spacing for connections to the public roadway shall meet or exceed the minimum street connection spacing requirement of 100 feet as set forth in the Trenton Subdivision Regulations. This 100 foot minimum spacing requirement shall apply to both new public streets and private roadways and driveways.
   (b)   Additional corner clearance may be required where the traffic impact analysis indicates it is needed due to the specific trip characteristics of the development or the typical length of standing queues on the abutting roadway.
   (c)   When a property cannot meet the minimum corner clearance requirements of this section due to a physical impediment found on the lot or adjacent right-of-way area, the Planning Commission may modify the corner clearance standards where joint access is established with an abutting property, as provided for in Section 1270.10.
