[CC 1983 App. A Art. IV §1; Ord. No. 395, 10-19-1970]
The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining areas (or their proper projection where adjoining land is not subdivided), insofar as they may be deemed necessary by the City Planning Commission for public requirements. Off-set streets should be avoided. The angle of intersection between minor streets and major streets should not vary by more than ten degrees (10°) from a right angle. Streets obviously in alignment with existing streets shall bear the names of the existing streets. All proposed street names shall be checked against duplication of other street names.
[CC 1983 App. A Art. IV §2; Ord. No. 395, 10-19-1970; Ord. No. 719 §1, 5-6-1991]
A. 
The arrangement of streets and lots shall give due regard to the topography and other physical features of the property and shall meet the following requirements and standards:
1. 
Street and alley right-of-way width.
a. 
The right-of-way widths and locations of major and collector streets shall conform to the right-of-way widths and locations of such streets designated on the Major Thoroughfare Plan.
b. 
The minimum right-of-way widths for all classifications of streets shall be sixty (60) feet.
c. 
Alleys shall not be provided in a residential block. Alleys are required in the rear of all business lots unless other adequate provisions are made for service and deliveries, and shall have a right-of-way at least twenty (20) feet wide.
2. 
Easements. Easements of at least ten (10) feet in width shall be dedicated on each side of all rear lot lines and along side lot lines, where necessary, for poles, wires, conduits, storm sewers, gas or other utilities. Easements of greater width may be required along or across lots where necessary for the extension of main sewers or other utilities.
3. 
Blocks.
a. 
No block shall be larger than one thousand (1,000) feet. Where blocks are over seven hundred fifty (750) feet in length, a crosswalk with a right-of-way of at least ten (10) feet in width may be required near the center of the block.
b. 
Courts, dead-end streets, or other street space may be provided if proper access is given to all lots from a dedicated street or court. All dead-end streets shall terminate in a dedicated right-of-way space having a minimum radius of fifty (50) feet, or other satisfactory arrangement for turning of vehicles. Dead-end streets shall not exceed five hundred (500) feet in length.
4. 
Lots.
a. 
The lot arrangement and design shall be such that all lots will provide satisfactory and desirable building sites, properly related to topography and to the character of surrounding development.
b. 
All side lines of lots shall be at right angles to straight street lines and radial to curved street lines except where a variation of this rule will provide a better street and lot layout. The minimum front building line shall be at least twenty-five (25) feet in length. Lots with double frontage shall be avoided.
c. 
No lot shall have a depth of less than one hundred (100) feet or a depth in excess of three (3) times its width. No lot shall have an area or width less than that required by the Zoning Regulation or resolution in effect within the area.
d. 
Corner lots shall have a width sufficient to permit the establishment of front building lines on both the adjoining streets.
e. 
Lots at street intersections shall have a minimum radius of twenty (20) feet at the street corner.
[CC 1983 App. A Art. IV §3; Ord. No. 395, 10-19-1970]
A. 
The City Planning Commission shall confer with the subdivider regarding the type and character of development that will be permitted in the subdivision and may agree with the subdivider as to certain minimum restrictions to be placed upon the property.
B. 
Where deed restrictions or covenants are proposed, they shall be included with the plat and made a part of such plat; provided however, that such deed restrictions or covenants shall not contain reversionary clauses wherein any lot shall return to the subdivider because of a violation thereon of the terms of the restriction or covenants.
[CC 1983 App. A Art. IV §4; Ord. No. 395, 10-19-1970]
Where an area being subdivided includes lands proposed to be used for parks or schools, under the duly adopted Comprehensive Plan of the City and environs, the subdivider shall not plat such lands as a part of the subdivision plat; and shall confer with the appropriate public agency regarding the time, method, and amount of payment for the agency to acquire the land. If no agreement has been reached upon the acquisition of the area within two (2) years from the date of the submission of the final plan, the subdivider may then plat the balance of the area.
[CC 1983 App. A Art. IV §5; Ord. No. 395, 10-19-1970]
Whenever any stream or important surface drainage course is located in an area which is being subdivided, the subdivider shall provide an adequate easement along each side of the stream for the purpose of widening, deepening, sloping, improving, or protecting the stream or drainage course. The adequacy of the easement shall be determined by the City Engineer.
