1111.04 THOROUGHFARE PLAN STREETS.

   The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to the official Thoroughfare Plan and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. Where not shown on the official Thoroughfare Plan, the arrangement and other design standards of streets shall conform to the provisions found herein. In no case shall an official Thoroughfare Plan street be platted less than sixty feet in width.
(Ord. 304. Passed 4-14-70.)

1111.05 STANDARDS OF DESIGN.

   (a)    Relation to Adjoining Street System. The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining areas or their proper projection where adjoining and is not subdivided insofar as they are necessary for public requirements. The width of streets in new subdivisions shall not be less than the minimum widths established herein. The street and alley arrangement shall be such as not to cause a hardship to owners of adjoining property when they plat their own land and seek to provide for convenient access to it. Residential streets shall be so designed as to discourage through traffic, but offset streets shall be avoided.
   (b)    Marginal Access Street. Whenever a subdivision has frontage upon a major thoroughfare, the Planning Commission may require that the plat layout make provision for a marginal access street parallel and adjacent to the thoroughfare to provide access to the abutting lots. When provision is made for a marginal access street, the subdivider is not required to provide improvements on the adjacent thoroughfare.
   (c)    Angle of Intersection. The angle of intersection between minor streets and major streets shall not vary more than ten degrees (10°) from a right angle. All other streets shall intersect each other as near to a right angle as possible and no intersection of streets at angles of less than sixty degrees (60°) be permitted.
   (d)    Rounding of Property Corners.
      (1)    At all street intersections the corner of property lines shall be rounded by a radius of not less than fifteen feet.
       (2)    In business districts a cut-off corner may be substituted in place of a circular arc. Where two alleys intersect, an eight foot cut-off shall be provided.
(e)    Private Streets and Reserve Strips.
       (1)    Private streets shall not be approved.
      (2)    Reserve strips shall not be approved except where their control is definitely placed in the City or County under conditions approved by the Planning Commission.

   (g)    Easements. Easements of at least seven and one-half feet in width shall be provided on each side of all rear lot lines and along side lot lines, where necessary, for public utilities, such as gas, electric, telephone, storm and sanitary sewers, water or other mains or for surface drainage swales. Easements of greater width may be required along or across lots where necessary for the extension of main sewers or other utilities or where both water and sewer lines are located in the same easement. A two-foot easement shall be required on both sides of an alley to accommodate pole lines.
   (h)    Blocks. No block shall be longer than 1,500 feet or shorter than 300 feet in length, except where unusual topographic conditions or other physical features warrant a greater or shorter length. Where a subdivision adjoins a major thoroughfare, the long dimension of the block shall front along such major thoroughfare to avoid unnecessary ingress or egress.
   (i)    Crosswalks. A dedicated crosswalk or easement not less than ten feet in width may be required to provide proper access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers and other facilities.

         H.    Zoning. Where compliance with existing zoning regulations will result in a requirement for a greater lot area or width than the standards set forth herein, the more restrictive requirements shall take precedence.
         I.    Corner Lots. Corner lots shall be of sufficient width to permit an adequate building setback line for each street upon which the lot abuts.
         J.    Building Lines. Where the subdivided area is to be used for residential purposes, the subdivider shall establish building lines in accordance with the character of the development, but in no case shall the front building line be less than that established by the zoning or less than twenty-five feet from the right of way of the street or thoroughfare. Restrictions requiring buildings to be set back of such building lines shall be shown on the plat.
         K.    Public Sites and Open Spaces. Where a site for a proposed park, playground, school or other public use which is shown upon the Comprehensive Plan for the City or County is located in whole or in part in a subdivision, the Planning Commission may require the subdivider to grant the appropriate public agency an opportunity to acquire such areas within the subdivision.
         L.    Easements Along Streams. Whenever any stream or important surface drainage course is located in the area being subdivided, and open drainage is to be permitted, the subdivider shall provide an adequate easement along each side of the stream or open drainage course for the purpose of widening, deepening, relocating, improving or protecting the stream or open drainage course for drainage or recreational use.
         M.    Land Subject to Flooding. The right is reserved to disapprove any subdivision which is subject to periodic flooding or which contains extremely poor drainage facilities.
