A. 
General requirements are as follows:
1. 
The classifications, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to the City of Reeds Spring's Comprehensive Plan and major street plan. Where not shown, the arrangement and design standards of streets shall conform to the provisions herein.
2. 
The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall be coordinated with existing, proposed and anticipated streets outside of the subdivision. Provision shall be made for the continuation of existing streets in adjoining areas.
3. 
When a new subdivision adjoins a tract susceptible to being subdivided, new streets shall be extended to the boundaries of such tract.
4. 
Streets shall be related appropriately to the topography and street grades shall conform as closely as practical to the original topography.
5. 
Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred fifty (150) feet shall be prohibited.
6. 
Local streets shall be laid out so as to discourage through traffic.
7. 
Permanent dead-end streets or culs-de-sac shall be no longer than eight hundred (800) feet and shall provide at the closed end a turnaround having an outside roadway diameter of at least one hundred (100) feet. Where a dead-end street is temporary in nature, additional driveway access shall be provided at the end of the street to allow for maneuvering of emergency vehicles.
8. 
Every lot shall have access to a road that provides reasonable ingress and egress for emergency vehicles as well as for the intended use of the lot.
9. 
When a subdivision abuts or contains an arterial street, the Commission may require marginal access streets or other streets as may be necessary for adequate protection of residential properties and to provide separation of through and local traffic.
10. 
Half-streets shall be prohibited except where such streets, when combined with a similar street (developed previously or simultaneously) on property adjacent to the subdivision, creates a street that meets the right-of-way and pavement requirements of the City of Reeds Spring Development Codes.
[Res. No. 662 §7, 8-19-1997]
Clearing and grubbing shall be performed within the right-of-way and easement limits shown on the plans. All timber, brush, roots, stumps, trees or other vegetation cut during the clearing operations shall become the contractor's responsibility to dispose of, and shall be either removed from the project site, or satisfactorily disposed of on site.
[Res. No. 662 §8, 8-19-1997]
Streets shall be graded in accordance with the lines and grade set by the engineer. Before placing curb and gutter or base on the graded subgrade, the subgrade shall be compacted to one hundred percent (100%) AASHO T99 for a depth of four (4) inches and then shall be proof rolled in the presence of the engineer. Places that are found to be loose, or soft, or composed of unsuitable materials, whether in the subgrade or below it, must be dug out and refilled with suitable material. All embankments or fills shall be made in one (1) foot horizontal lifts or suitable material. The fill shall be rolled with a sheepsfoot roller after each lift, followed by a wheel roller, each weighing not less than eight (8) tons.
[Res. No. 662 §9, 8-19-1997]
Base course for streets shall generally be four (4) inches thick, unless otherwise directed by the City Engineer, and shall be crushed stone conforming to D.O.T. Type 3 aggregate.

Handling and placement of the stone base shall be in accordance with D.O.T. specifications.
[Res. No. 662 §10, 8-19-1997]
Asphalt surface course shall meet D.O.T. specifications for asphalt. Asphalt type shall be as determined by the Engineer. The asphalt shall be placed in not greater than four (4) inch layers, and shall be handled and placed in accordance with D.O.T. specifications and to the thicknesses indicated on Standard Drawing No. 14.
[Res. No. 662 §11, 8-19-1997]
Where soils are unusually unstable, it may be required for the developer to have soil tests run and a pavement design made by a qualified soils engineer.
[Res. No. 662 §12, 8-19-1997]
A. 
Concrete curb and gutter shall be constructed according to the lines and grades established by the engineer. The concrete shall meet the State highway requirements. The curb and gutter shall be twenty-four (24) inches wide and shall have a vertical curb face. The forms shall be of metal, free of marks or kinks, and shall be rigidly held in position. The engineer shall approve the positioning of the forms before the concrete is poured. The concrete shall be placed in the forms in a manner to prevent segregation, and tamped or vibrated sufficiently to prevent honeycombs. The concrete shall be finished smooth and even by means of rollers or floats. Expansion joints shall be provided every thirty (30) feet, and false joints every ten (10) feet.
B. 
Curb and gutter shall be constructed in accordance with Standard Drawing No. 6.
[Res. No. 662 §14, 8-19-1997]
The maximum grade at any point on a street constructed without curb and gutter shall be twelve percent (12%). On streets constructed with curb and gutter, the grade shall not exceed ten percent (10%) unless no other practicable alternative is available. However, in no case may streets be constructed with grades that exceed fifteen percent (15%) or which create a substantial danger to the public safety. Use of slopes greater than the standard must be approved by the Reeds Spring Board of Aldermen.
[Res. No. 662 §15, 8-19-1997]
A. 
Intersections involving the junction of more than two (2) streets shall be prohibited.
B. 
Streets shall intersect as nearly as possible at right angles and no two (2) streets shall intersect at less than sixty degrees (60°).
C. 
Except where no other alternative is practical or legally possible, no two (2) streets may intersect with any other street on the same side at a distance of less than two hundred forty (240) feet measured from centerline to centerline of the intersecting street. When the intersected street is an arterial, the distance between intersecting streets shall be at least fifteen hundred (1,500) feet.
D. 
Street curb intersections shall be rounded by a tangential arc with a minimum radius of twenty-five (25) feet for intersections of two (2) residential local streets and thirty (30) feet for intersections involving collector or arterial streets. Where substantial use is anticipated by large vehicles, such as recreational vehicles or semi-trailers, the curb radius shall be increased to accommodate the anticipated use.

A. 
At no-stop intersections, the intersection shall be constructed so that a person standing at a location on the centerline of any street ninety (90) feet from the intersection of the street centerlines has an unobstructed view to a point located on the centerline of the intersecting street ninety (90) feet (in either direction) from the intersection of the street centerlines. See Standard Drawing No. 1.
B. 
At stop intersections, the intersection shall be constructed so that a person standing ten (10) feet back of the intersection of right-of-way lines on the stop street has an unobstructed view to a point on the right-of-way line of the intersecting through street located seventy (70) feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines. See Standard Drawing No. 2.
[Res. No. 662 §17, 8-19-1997]
At street intersections, the intersections of the paved surfaces shall be rounded with a minimum radius as shown in Standard Drawing No. 4. Where streets intersect at less than right angles, a greater radius may be required.
[Res. No. 662 §18, 8-19-1997]
A. 
All driveway entrances and other opening onto streets within the City's planning jurisdiction shall be constructed so that:
1.
