insofar as they may be deemed necessary by the 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.

surfacing is placed.

proceed on any street until all utility excavations (storm and sanitary
sewer, water, gas, electric, etc.) have been properly backfilled with

of time satisfactory to the City Engineer or City Superintendent.

The 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. Where the subdivision contains sewers,
sewage treatment plants, water supply systems, park areas, street
trees or other physical facilities necessary or desirable for the
welfare of the area and which are of common use or benefit and are
not or cannot be satisfactorily maintained by an existing public agency,
provisions shall be made by trust agreement, made a part of the deed
restrictions acceptable to any agency having jurisdiction over the
location and improvement of such facilities, for the proper and continuous
maintenance and supervision of such facilities.
