The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall provide for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining subdivisions or, when adjoining property is not subdivided, their proper projection insofar as necessary for public requirements by providing new streets of a width deemed necessary by the Planning Board and approved by the Board of Aldermen. In general, the streets shall be at least as wide as existing streets; except, that in no case shall the width be less than the minimum specified in Section 155.12.14. The street and alley arrangement shall be such as to cause no hardship to owners of adjoining property when they plat their own land and seek to provide for convenient access to it and shall provide for continuing a reasonable number of through utility lines. When a new subdivision adjoins unsubdivided land susceptible to being subdivided, the new streets shall be carried to the boundaries of the tract proposed to be subdivided, except where it is determined by the Planning Board and approved by the Board of Aldermen that certain streets may not be required to be so extended.
