In areas for which such plans have not been completed, the streets shall be designed and located in proper relation to existing and proposed streets, to the topography, to such natural features as streams and tree growth, to public convenience and safety, and to the proposed use of land to be served by such streets.
   (B)   The proposed street layout shall be made according to good land planning practice for the type of development proposed, and shall be coordinated with the street system of the surrounding areas. All streets must provide for the continuation or approximate projection of principal streets in surrounding areas and provide reasonable means of ingress and egress for surrounding acreage tracts. All streets shall be located a minimum distance of 150 feet from the boundary of the village, provided, however, that subject to the approval of the Village Council this provision shall not apply to the dead end of a street where it intersects with the village boundary.
   (C)   Minimum street right-of-way width shall be as follows:
      (1)   Inside Municipal Jurisdiction Where Permitted by Resolution

The entire right-of- way shall be provided where any part of a new subdivision is on both sides of an existing street, and one-half the required right-of-way measured from the center line of the existing street shall be provided where a new subdivision is located only on one side of an existing street.
   (D)   Where curbs and gutters are provided, the paving widths back- to-back of curbs shall be not less than the following:
         Major thoroughfares   32 feet
         Minor thoroughfares   32 feet

         Frontage roads   29 feet
         Cul-de-sac   29 feet
         Cul-de-sac (turnarounds)   80 feet

         Minor thoroughfares    20 feet
         Local streets (residential    20 feet
   (F)   Unless necessitated by exceptional topography and subject to the approval of the Planning Board, the grades shall be not more than 10% nor less than one-half of one percent on any street.
      (1)   Grades approaching intersections shall not exceed 5% for a distance of not less than 100 feet from the center line of the intersection.
      (2)   Street grades shall be established wherever practicable in such a manner as to avoid excessive grading, the promiscuous removal of ground cover and tree growth and general leveling of the topography.
      (3)   In the interest of public safety, no less than the minimum sight distance applicable shall be provided in every instance. Vertical curves that connect each change in grade shall be provided and calculated using the parameters listed below. (General practice calls for vertical curves to be multiples of 50 feet. Calculated lengths shall be rounded up in each case.)

   Minor thoroughfares   200 feet
   Local streets   100 feet

If reverse frontage is required, then the subdivider shall be required to provide a ten-foot easement parallel and adjacent to the right-of-way of the highway. Such easement shall be restricted to the planting of trees or shrubs for screening purposes and shall be in addition to all other easements required by this ordinance.
   (N)   Where curbs and gutters are not installed, a minimum of 44 feet shall be left between drainage ditches along dedicated streets right-of-way.
