[Ord. No. 336 Art. 8(1), 12-14-1999]
The Planning and Zoning Board may require, under the terms of this Chapter, the dedication, reservation or acquisition of lands and open spaces necessary for public uses indicated on the Comprehensive Village plan.
[Ord. No. 336 Art. 8(2), 12-14-1999]
A. 
Streets shall conform to the following standards: The arrangement for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining additions or their proper projection where adjoining property is not subdivided, insofar as they may be necessary for public requirements. The width of such streets in new subdivisions shall not be less than the minimum street widths established herein. Alleys, when required, and street arrangement must cause no hardship to owners of adjoining property when they plat their land and seek to provide for convenient access to it. Whenever there exists a dedicated or platted half street or alley adjacent to the tract to be subdivided, the other half of the street or alley shall be platted and dedicated as a public way.
1. 
Median strips. Reserve strips controlling access to streets in the subdivision meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall be prohibited except where their control is definitely placed in the Village under conditions approved by the Planning and Zoning Board.
2. 
Streets — street names. Streets that are obviously in alignment with other already existing and named streets shall bear the names of the existing streets. Street names shall not be similar to already platted street names.
3. 
Streets — jogs. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five (125) feet in subdivisions shall be avoided.
4. 
Streets — cul-de-sacs. An adequate turnaround of not less than a one hundred (100) foot diameter right-of-way shall be provided at the closed end of a dead-end local street longer than one (1) lot in length. Such local street segment shall not exceed five hundred (500) feet in length from the centerline of an intersection of a cross street to the center of the cul-de-sac.
5. 
Streets — tangents. A tangent at least one hundred (100) feet long shall be introduced between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets in subdivision meeting the requirements of this Chapter.
6. 
Streets — right-angle intersections. Under normal conditions, streets shall be laid out to intersect, as nearly as possible, at right angles. Where topography or other conditions justify a variation from the right-angle intersection, the minimum angle shall be sixty degrees (60°).
7. 
Streets — rounding property lines at intersections. Property lines at street intersections in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall be rounded with a radius of ten (10) feet or of a greater radius where the Planning and Zoning Board may deem it necessary. The Commission may permit comparable cutoffs or chords in place of rounded corners.
8. 
Streets — widths and locations. The minimum right-of-way width for a minor street in a subdivision meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall be fifty (50) feet. The widths and locations of major streets in such subdivisions shall conform to the widths and locations designated on the major street plan of the City.
9. 
Streets — half streets. Half streets shall be prohibited except where essential to the reasonable development of the subdivision in conformance with the requirements of this Chapter and where the Planning and Zoning Board finds it will be practicable to require the dedication of the other half when the adjoining property is subdivided. Whenever a half is adjacent to a tract to be subdivided, the other side of the street shall be platted within such tract.
10. 
Streets — dead-end. Dead-end streets, designed to be so permanently, in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall not be longer than five hundred (500) feet and shall be provided at the closed end with a turnaround having an outside roadway diameter of at least one hundred (100) feet.
[Ord. No. 336 Art. 8(3), 12-14-1999]
A. 
All alleys shall meet the following design standards:
1. 
Alleys — general. Alleys may be required in commercial, industrial and residential areas. Dead-end alleys shall be avoided, wherever possible; but if unavoidable, such alleys shall be provided with adequate turnaround facilities at the dead-end. Alleys should be avoided in residential areas except where alleys of adjoining subdivisions would be closed or shut off by failing to provide alleys in the proposed subdivision.
2. 
Alleys — width. The width of an alley in a subdivision meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall be twenty (20) feet.
3. 
Alleys — intersection. Alley intersections and sharp changes in alignment in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall be avoided but, where necessary, corners shall be cut off sufficiently to permit safe vehicular movements.
4. 
Alleys — stormwater drainage. Where a subdivision meeting the requirements of this Chapter is traversed by a watercourse, drainage way, channel or stream, there shall be provided a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such watercourse and such further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose. Parallel streets or parkways may be required in connection therewith.
[Ord. No. 336 Art. 8(4), 12-14-1999]
Easements across lots or centered on rear or side lot lines in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall be provided for utilities where necessary and shall be at least sixteen (16) feet wide.
[Ord. No. 336 Art. 8(5), 12-14-1999]
A. 
The following are design standards for blocks:
1. 
Blocks — criteria for determining widths, shapes and lengths. The lengths, widths and shapes of blocks in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this Chapter shall be determined with regard to:
a. 
Provision of adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of use contemplated;
b. 
Zoning requirements as to lot sizes and dimensions;
c. 
Needs for convenient access, circulation, control and safety of street traffic;
d. 
Limitations and opportunities of topography.
2. 
Blocks — lengths. Block lengths in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this chapter shall not exceed one thousand eight hundred (1,800) feet or be less than four hundred (400) feet.
[Ord. No. 336 Art. 8(6), 12-14-1999]
A. 
The following are design standards for lots:
1. 
Minimum lot depth for residential lots not served by a public sewer shall not be less than one hundred (100) feet wide nor less than fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet in area. Said measurement shall be made though the center of the lot, shall be perpendicular to the property line or radial to the property line on curved streets.
2. 
Depth and width of properties reserved or laid out for commercial and industrial purposes shall be adequate to provide for the off-street service and parking facilities required by the type of use and development contemplated.
3. 
Minimum lot area shall be subject to the zoning regulations of the district in which the subdivision is located and the minimum design standards of this regulation. The more restrictive of the regulations shall govern.
4. 
Front building or setback lines shall be shown on the final plat for all lots in the subdivision and shall not be less than the setbacks required by the Zoning Ordinance or any other regulations adopted by the Governing Body; the most restrictive setback requirement shall govern.
5. 
Every lot shall abut on a public street other than an alley.
6. 
The subdivision or resubdivision of a tract or lot shall not be permitted where said subdivision or resubdivision places an existing permanent structure in violation of the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance or the minimum design standards of these regulations.
7. 
Corner lots for residential use in subdivisions meeting the requirements of these regulations shall have extra width to permit appropriate building setback from and orientation to both streets.
8. 
Side lot lines shall be substantially at right angles or radial to street lines in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this Chapter.
9. 
Double-frontage and reverse-frontage lots in subdivisions meeting the requirements of this Chapter should be avoided except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planting screen easement of at least ten (10) feet shall be provided along the line of lots abutting a traffic artery or other disadvantageous use.
