The City shall have the right to invoke the performance bond or letter of credit or other guaranty, accept the areas to be dedicated as public property by ordinance and complete work through the bonding company or through its own actions if all work is not completed within the allowed time limit or if the work has been performed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
A. 
The subdivider shall observe the following general standards and principles of land subdivision:
(1) 
The arrangements of streets in the proposed subdivision shall, in general, provide for the continuation of the principal existing or planned streets in adjoining property or for their proper projections when adjoining property is not subdivided and shall be of a width at least as great as that of the existing streets to be continued.
(2) 
Where a proposed subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed major arterial, the Commission may require local streets, rear service alleys or such other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of residential properties and to afford separation of through and local traffic.
(3) 
Street right-of-way widths and component widths shall be those shown on the Official Street Map or and where not shown shall be not less than indicated by the chart of minimum street design standards. [See Subsection A(17) below.]
(4) 
Street grades, wherever feasible, shall not exceed the following, with due allowance for vertical curves:
Street Type
Percent Grade
Major arterial
3
Minor arterial/collector
5
Local street
5
No street grade shall be less than 1/2 of 1%
(5) 
In general, right-of-way lines within a block deflecting from each other at any one point more than 10º shall be connected with a curve, the radius of which, for the inner right-of-way lines, shall be not less than 500 feet on major arterials and not less than 250 feet on minor arterials and on local streets.
(6) 
All changes in street grade shall be connected by vertical curves of a minimum length equivalent to 20 times the algebraic difference in the rate of grade for major and minor arterials and collectors and 1/2 of this minimum for all local streets. In no case shall vertical curves be less than 50 feet in length.
(7) 
Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, and no street shall intersect any other street at less than 60º.
(8) 
Dead-end or cul-de-sac streets shall not exceed 700 feet in length and shall be terminated with a paved turnaround roadway with a minimum radius of 40 feet and a minimum right-of-way radius of 50 feet at the closed end.
(9) 
In general, block lengths shall not exceed 1,200 feet or be less than 500 feet.
(10) 
Pedestrian walkways not less than five feet wide shall be required where deemed essential by the Commission to provide circulation or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation and other community facilities.
(11) 
Property lines at street intersections shall be rounded with a radius of 20 feet or of a greater radius where the City Engineer may deem it necessary. The City Engineer may permit comparable cutoffs or chords in place of rounded corners.
(12) 
Easements for the installation of utilities shall be provided where necessary along the rear or side lot lines and shall be of a width deemed necessary by the City Engineer.
(13) 
Reserved strips controlling access to streets or controlling access to land dedicated to public use shall not be permitted.
(14) 
No proposed street name shall duplicate or closely approximate phonetically the name of any street within the City.
(15) 
Every subdivision to be located in a special flood hazard area shall have public utilities and facilities constructed to minimize flood damage and shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage.
(16) 
Subdivisions shall be protected from flood hazard and inundation by stormwater, springs and other surface waters. The design and construction of drainage systems shall be such that watercourses traversing the subdivision and natural water emanating from within the subdivision will be carried through and off the subdivision without injury to improvements, building sites or buildings existing or to be installed within, adjacent to or downstream from the tract. Drainage water entering the subdivision shall be received and discharged at locations as nearly as possible in the manner that existed prior to construction of the drainage facilities. The design of drainage facilities shall be such that they will conform to the ultimate drainage requirements of the land uses within the subdivision's watershed. The discharged flow at the downstream area of the subdivision shall be conducted in drainage facilities such that the flow effects shall be restored as near to predevelopment conditions as possible prior to leaving the subdivision or reasonably distant therefrom.
