(a) Streets shall be planned for convenient circulation toward the principal directions of travel, bus routes, schools and playgrounds. The pattern shall be continuous but indirect enough to discourage an excessive amount of through traffic. On the interior design, T-type intersections shall be predominant, while cross-intersections shall be avoided except at major streets. The street patterns shall include some extensions to the boundaries of the development to provide circulation between adjoining neighborhoods.
(b) Street widths shall conform to the following minimums:
Classifications Right-of-Way Width (in feet)
Expressway 200
Principal Arterial 140
Minor Arterial - dominant major street or main county road 100
Major Collector - major street 100
Secondary Major - local collector 80
Minor Street 66
Alley 20
Such classification and widths shall conform to the designation as contained in the Master Plan.
(c) Streets shall intersect each other at as nearly right angles as possible. Intersections having more than four (4) corners shall be prohibited.
(d) New streets shall be a continuation of existing streets or provide a minimum jog of one hundred fifty (150) feet from the centerline of existing street alignment.
(e) Cul-de-sac streets shall not be over six hundred (600) feet in length and the terminus shall be a circular area with a minimum diameter of one hundred forty (140) feet. Any water mains serving a cul-de-sac shall be looped.
(f) A two (2) foot buffer lot shall be required at the terminus end of a stub street which abuts unplatted/undeveloped land.
(g) Private streets shall be constructed to Whitehouse standards.
(h) Streets and subdivisions shall not be duplicated in name nor confused with existing names. (Ord. 10-2016. Passed 12-20-16.)
