A. Conformity To Official Map, Etc. The arrangement, character,
extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to
the Official Map and shall be considered in their relation to existing
and planned streets, to topographical conditions and 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
Map, the arrangement and other design standards of streets shall conform
to the provisions found herein.
B. Relation To Adjoining Street System. The arrangement of
streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the continuation
of the existing streets in adjoining areas.
C. Projection Of Streets. Where adjoining areas are not subdivided,
the arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision
for the proper projection of streets.
D. Streets To Be Carried To Property Lines. When a new subdivision
adjoins unsubdivided land susceptible of being subdivided, the new
streets shall be carried to the boundaries of the tract proposed to
be subdivided. Permanent dead-end streets shall terminate in a cul-de-sac.
Temporary dead-end streets, designated for eventual continuation onto
unsubdivided land, shall terminate in either a temporary cul-de-sac,
an alternate configuration such as a tee, or other approved design.
Such temporary turnaround areas may be paved with six (6) inch Type
1 compacted base rock, and may be on easements granted to the City
of Monett. Minimum area of each side of the tee shall be twenty-five
(25) feet by twenty-five (25) feet. The easements shall be released
whenever the adjoining land is subdivided and the street is properly
extended.
E. At
least one (1) new street shall be carried to the boundaries of adjacent
tracts susceptible of being subdivided on each side of each new subdivision,
in at least every one-quarter (¼) mile, unless technically
or topographically impracticable to do so.
F. Street Jogs. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less
than one hundred fifty (150) feet shall be avoided.

1. Street designs. Streets shall have right-of-way
widths, pavement widths, and cul-de-sac lengths as follows:
a. Zoning District "A," "MH" and mobile home parks. Must have a minimum right-of-way width of sixty (60) feet; minimum

diameter shall in all Zoning Districts be a minimum one hundred (100)
feet diameter to property line, minimum eighty (80) feet diameter
paved surface.
H. Intersections. The intersection of more than two (2) streets
at one (1) point shall be avoided, except where it is impracticable
to secure a proper street system otherwise. Streets shall intersect
one another at an angle as near to a right angle as possible. Street
intersections shall be rounded with a radius of twenty (20) feet measured
at the back of curbs when such intersection occurs at right angles.
If an intersection occurs at an angle other than a right angle, it
shall be rounded with a curve of a radius acceptable to the Commission.
I. Subdivision Into Tracts Larger Than Ordinary Building Lots. Where a tract is subdivided into larger parcels than ordinary building
lots, such parcels shall be arranged so as to allow the opening of
future streets and logical further resubdivision.
J. Half Streets. Half streets shall be prohibited, except where
essential to the reasonable development of the subdivision in conformity
with the other requirements of this Chapter and where the Commission
finds it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other
half when the adjoining property is subdivided. Wherever a half street
is adjacent to a tract to be subdivided, the other half of the street
shall be platted with such tract.
K. Street Names And Numbers. Names of new streets shall not
duplicate or sound similar to existing or platted street names, unless
a new street is a continuation of or in alignment with the existing
or platted street. The names of streets shall be subject to approval
by the City Council.
L. Access To Streets Across Ditches. The subdivider shall
provide access to all proposed streets, across all ditches, in a method
approved by the City Engineer, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
M. Vacation Of Streets. The Council shall not vacate any street
or part of a street dedicated for public use, if such vacation interferes
with the uniformity of the existing street pattern or any future street
plans prepared for the area.
N. Private Streets And Cross-Access Easements. Private streets
shall not be approved nor shall public improvements be approved for
any private street in a residential subdivision. Cross-access easements
shall be permitted in commercial or industrial subdivisions to allow
access from one lot to another and to a City street. Construction
and maintenance of the drives in the cross-access easements shall
be the responsibility of the property owners.
O. Arrangement To Avoid Hardship To Owners Of Adjoining Property. The street arrangements shall not be such as to cause hardship to
owners of adjoining property in platting and providing convenient
access to their own land.
[R.O. 2012 §405.160; CC 1979 §28-16; Ord. No. A-3976 §9, 8-15-1978; Ord. No. A-6952 §1, 5-10-2000]

feet shall be provided on each side of all front lot lines and along
side lot lines where necessary for utilities.
B. Drainage. Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse,
drainageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided a storm water
easement of drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the
lines of such watercourse, and such further width or construction
as will be adequate for the purpose.
[R.O. 2012 §405.170; CC 1979 §28-17; Ord. No. A-3976 §9, 8-15-1978; Ord. No. A-6952 §1, 5-10-2000]
Block length and width or acreage within bounding roads shall
be such as to accommodate the size of lot required in the area by
the Zoning Ordinance and to provide for convenient access, circulation
control and safety of street traffic.

the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
B. Location. All lots shall abut by their full frontage on
a publicly dedicated street or a street that has received legal status
as such.

to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines.
D. Corner Lots. Corner lots for residential use shall have
extra width to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation
to both streets.
E. Uninhabitable Lots. Lots subject to flooding and lots deemed
by the Commission to be uninhabitable shall not be platted for residential
occupancy, or for such other uses as may increase danger to health,
life or property or aggravate the flood hazard, but such land within
the plat shall be set aside for such uses as shall not be endangered
by periodic or occasional inundation or shall not produce unsatisfactory
living conditions.
F. Lot Remnants. All remnants of lots below minimum size, left
over after subdividing of a larger tract, must be added to adjacent
lots, rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels.
