A.
Length. Blocks shall not exceed 1,200 feet in length.
B.
Crosswalks. Crosswalks may be required to give pedestrian
access to schools, churches, business sections and similar community
features.
C.
Width. The width of blocks shall be such as to allow
two tiers of lots. Where a block is subdivided into lots larger than
the minimum as zoned, sufficient ground may be required to be set
aside for streets and other public improvements to provide for the
eventual breakdown of the block to the minimum zoning requirements.
D.
Business blocks. Business blocks shall be laid out
so as to make sufficient provisions for future parking and delivery
service.
A.
The developer may be required to provide an area or
areas for parks, playgrounds or recreational areas that are recommended
by the Planning Commission and approved by the Town Council. Five
percent of the total area to be developed will be considered the minimum
amount to be set aside as public open spaces when required.
B.
Community assets. Due consideration shall be given
to the preservation of large trees, natural groves, waterways, scenic
points, historic spots and similar community assets.
No land may be subdivided for residential use
if, upon investigation, it is determined that the site is unsuitable
for dwelling purposes because of danger to health or peril from fire,
flood, wetlands or other hazard.
Where topography or other physical conditions
are such that compliance with the foregoing requirements would cause
practical difficulty and unnecessary hardship, the Town Council, after
affording the Planning Commission and the Town Engineer an opportunity
for comment, may relax the order to grant relief and at the same time
protect the public interest, except as to the right-of-way widths,
paving widths, minimum lot sizes and completion guaranty requirements.
