(5) Permanent cul-de-sacs shall not exceed 600 feet except where this requirement is specifically waived by the Planning Commission based on topography or property configuration or such other conditions deemed reasonable. Temporary cul-de-sacs may exceed 600 feet where they are part of an overall street network.
(6) The following regulations shall govern the design and layout of blocks.
(a) Irregularly shaped blocks, those intended for cul-de-sacs or loop streets, and those containing interior parks or playgrounds will be evaluated by the Commission and may be approved by the Commission if properly designed and located and if the maintenance of interior public spaces is covered by notation on the plat.
(b) No block shall be longer than 1,500 feet and the block width shall accommodate two tiers of lots, except where unusual topography or other exceptional physical circumstances exist.
