1134.01 PRIVATE STREETS.

   For good cause shown, private streets may be permitted in a subdivision. As used in this section, "private streets" means any passage way designed for use by motor vehicles upon property owned by one or more persons, firms or corporations where such passage serves four dwelling units or more. Such private streets must have the following minimum standards:

   (a)   All private streets shall be improved with a hard surface of concrete, of the type and thickness as required of streets of the City.

   (b)   All private streets shall have a pavement width of a minimum of twenty-four (24) feet and the maximum grade of six percent (6%), provided, that the minimum grade for private streets shall be one-half of one percent at the gutter, unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer.

The length of the radius of the center line of any curve of a private street shall be no less than fifty (50) feet.

The curb radius at any street intersection shall be no less than twenty (20) feet.

   (c)   Every private street ending in a dead end or at a cul- de-sac circle shall have a minimum pavement width as approved by the Commission to assure access to the area for fire equipment and to facilitate the turning of vehicular traffic. In approving such minimum pavement widths, the Commission shall consider whatever such cul-de-sac or turn-about will be used for parking vehicles.
