[CC 1985 § 27-41]
The engineer shall place sufficient permanent monuments along
the boundaries of the property so that another engineer may retrace
his/her work with accuracy. Iron pins not less than three (3) feet
long and three-fourths (3/4) inch in diameter shall be placed at block
corners, angle points on the streets and the beginning and end of
curves on streets.
[CC 1985 § 27-42]
Unless otherwise approved by the Council, provision must be
made for the extension of main thoroughfares as shown on the major
street plan of the City Planning and Zoning Commission; secondary
streets must provide free circulation within the subdivision. Off-center
street intersections will not be approved except in cases where land
use will not justify same or in other unusual cases.
[CC 1985 § 27-43]
The system of streets designed for the subdivision, except in
unusual cases where land use will not justify the same or in other
unusual cases, shall connect with streets already dedicated in adjacent
subdivisions; and where no adjacent connections are platted, the system
of streets shall in general be the reasonable projections of streets
in nearest subdivided tracts, and shall be continued to the boundaries
of the tract subdivided so that other subdivisions may connect therewith.
[CC 1985 § 27-44]
In case a tract is subdivided into larger parcels than normal
building lots, such parcels shall be arranged to permit the opening
of future streets and logical resubdivisions.
[CC 1985 § 27-45]
Except where land use will justify the same or in other unusual
cases, no dead-end streets will be approved unless the dead-end streets
are provided to connect with future streets in adjacent land, but
courts or places may be permitted where the contour of the land makes
it difficult to plat with connecting streets. The courts or places
shall provide proper access to all lots and shall generally not exceed
four hundred (400) feet in length, and a turnaround shall be provided
at the closed end with an outside curb radius of at least forty (40)
feet.
[CC 1985 § 27-46]
All streets shall be at least fifty (50) feet in width, but
a greater width may be required by the City Council upon the recommendation
of the Subdivision and Development Advisory Board.
[CC 1985 § 27-47]
Except in unusual cases, alleys or loading courts must be provided
in business blocks. Alleys are optional in residential districts,
but may be required where alleys of adjoining subdivisions would be
closed or shut off from egress by the failure to provide alleys in
the new subdivision. Alleys shall have a minimum width of twenty (20)
feet. In case of intersecting alleys, a cutoff of at least five (5)
feet shall be required to be measured from the point of intersection
of the alley lines the resultant connecting lot line to be at least
five (5) feet in length.
[CC 1985 § 27-48]
In general, intersecting streets which served to determine block
lengths shall be provided at such intervals as to serve cross traffic
adequately and to meet existing streets or customary subdivision practice
in the neighborhood. Where no existing plats control, the blocks may
not exceed five hundred (500) feet in length, except that a greater
length may be permitted by the City Council upon the recommendation
of the Subdivision and Development Advisory Board. In blocks longer
than five hundred (500) feet, pedestrianways through the block may
be required near the center of the block. The pedestrian ways shall
have a minimum width of ten (10) feet.
[CC 1985 § 27-49; Ord. No. 6979 § 1, 9-3-1996]
The size of lots in residential districts shall be adequate
for the proposed structure, and shall conform to the minimum sizes
established in the Zoning Ordinance of the City.
[CC 1985 § 27-50]
All lots shall have the side lines as nearly as practicable
at right angles to the street on which the lot faces. Lots with double
frontage are undesirable and shall be avoided wherever possible.
[CC 1985 § 27-51]
Building lines shall be shown on all lots and shall provide
at least the setback required by similar existing areas in the City.
If, however, suitable provision is made in connection with the plat
or the restrictions pertaining to the plat, building lines may thereafter
be varied without the consent of the Council, provided the variation
does not reduce the setback more than five (5) feet, nor to less than
the setback required in similar existing areas in the City.
[CC 1985 § 27-52]
Easements of not less than eight (8) feet shall be provided
on each side of rear or side lines, where necessary, for public utilities.
If necessary for the extension of main water or sewer lines, or similar
utilities, easements of greater width may be required along lot lines
or across lots. Easements, where practicable, shall connect with established
easements in adjoining property. The indication of easements on a
plat does not necessarily constitute a dedication of such easements
to public use, but the easements as shown shall not thereafter be
changed without the consent of the Council. Adequate drainage courses
for stormwater shall be provided for by easement.
[CC 1985 § 27-53]
Suitable sites for parks; schools, playgrounds and any other
public requirements should be carefully considered and indicated on
the preliminary plat so that it can be determined which of the sites
should be indicated on the final plat, and when and in what manner
such areas will be acquired by the City. Attention is called to the
advantages on a large tract of dedicating a reasonable percent of
the property for such use.
[CC 1985 § 27-54]
A.
Prior to the granting of final approval by the City Council,
the subdivider shall provide for the installation of the following
improvements:
1.
Sidewalks, Walks And Parkways. Concrete sidewalks shall be constructed on at least one (1) side of all platted streets and shall be so constructed as to comply with Sections 510.470 through 510.500. A minimum of thirteen (13) feet of the width of each street shall be reserved for walks and parkways, except that in streets of a greater width than fifty (50) feet, the Board, with the approval of the City Council, may require a wider area to be reserved for sidewalks, walks and parkways. Areas reserved for sidewalks, walks and parkways shall be of equal width on each side of the street so that the center line of the roadway shall in all events be the center line of the street.
2.
Roadway Surfaces. All roadways shall be surfaced
in accordance with the minimum specifications then existing for the
construction of other streets in the City.
3.
Sanitary Sewer System. A sanitary sewer system
shall be planned and designed in accordance with the standards of
the Bureau of Public Health Engineering of the State and the Subdivision
and Development Advisory Board, and with the provision of necessary
sewer easement, the construction of the same to be dependent upon
the availability of City sanitary sewer facilities at reasonable cost.
4.
Cost, Supervision. The subdivider shall, prior
to the granting of approval by the City Council, agree to be responsible
for the cost of all improvements herein mentioned. All improvements
shall be constructed under the supervision and subject to the inspection
and approval of the City Engineer.
