Any person desiring to construct or lay or desiring to contract to construct or lay, any sidewalk or sidewalks, curb or gutter, shall first obtain from the City Council a license to so construct, lay or install sidewalks, curbs or gutters, and shall post a bond in an amount to be approved by the Council, but not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00), for faithful performance of such work as provided herein and in accordance with the plans and specifications as and when approved by the City Council, or the City Manager, and shall pay for such license a fee as set by resolution of the City Council. Said license shall be for the unexpired term of the City Council issuing it and shall be revocable for failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Chapter and the plans and specifications provided herein.
A. Streets; Location And Arrangement:
1. Whenever a tract to be subdivided embraces part of a street designated in the City's Official Street and Highway Plan, as is shown in the Official Master Plan of the City, such street shall be platted in conformance therewith.
2. Street layout shall provide for the continuation of such streets as the Council may designate.
3. Whenever the tract is located within an area for which a neighborhood plan has been approved by the Council, the street arrangement shall conform to such plan.
4. Certain proposed streets, as designated by the Council, shall be extended to the tract boundary to provide future connection with adjoining unplatted lands. Such extensions shall, generally, not be farther apart than the maximum permitted length of a block, as hereinafter provided.
5. Residential streets shall be so arranged as to discourage their use by traffic originating outside the immediate neighborhood.
6. Lots intended for single-family residential use shall not normally front or have access from arterial streets. Where a proposed subdivision abuts an existing or proposed arterial street, the Council may require marginal access streets or reverse property frontage with nonaccess easements abutting the arterial street or such other treatment as may be justified for protection of residential properties from the nuisance and hazard of high volume traffic and for protection of the traffic function of the arterial street.
7. Where a residential subdivision abuts the right of way of a railroad, a limited access highway or a commercial or industrial land use, the Council may require location of a street approximately parallel to such right of way or use at a distance being determined with due regard for approach grades, drainage, bridges and future grade separation.
8. Streets shall be so arranged in relation to topography as to produce desirable lots or maximum utility and streets of reasonable gradient and to facilitate adequate surface drainage.
9. Where alleys are platted, their alignment and arrangement shall be such as to minimize back-tracking and single-tier service by trash collection forces and to avoid the facing of residences directly into alley openings.
10. Half streets shall be prohibited unless approved by the City Council, and conditions which will be considered for approval are:
a. Where necessary, to provide right of way indicated on the Official Street and Highway Plan, as is shown in the Official Master Plan of the City;
b. To complete a street pattern already begun; or
c. To ensure reasonable development of an adjoining unplatted parcel.
Where a platted half street exists abutting to residential lots the remaining half street shall be platted within the tract.
11. Dead-end streets shall be prohibited unless a modification is granted by the Council in locations designated by the Council as necessary for future street connection to adjacent unplatted lands. This shall include cul-de-sacs.
12. Whenever any street or highway is proposed requiring a separation of grades or requiring any special form of intersection design at its intersection with any street, highway or railway, the subdivision shall be so designed to conform to any plan adopted by the City for the intersection design, and all lots within the subdivision shall, when necessary, be provided with suitable access from another public way. Any street or highway intersecting with another street or highway shall intersect it at any angle as nearly a right angle as shall be practicable.
B. Street Naming: At the preliminary plat stage, the subdivider shall propose names for all streets, which names shall be subject to be approved by the Council.
C. Conformance To Public Improvement Standards: The design and construction of all streets within the City shall conform to the West Wendover Construction Standards and Specifications Manual. (Ord. 98-09, 10-6-1998)
