An additional access shall be provided to a public thoroughfare to
allow a secondary access for emergency vehicles. A boulevard entrance
extending to the first intersection of a community road shall satisfy
this requirement.
D. All lots shall be provided with public water and sanitary sewer service,
or water and sanitary services that shall be approved by the Michigan
