Streets shall be suitably located, of sufficient
width and adequately constructed to accommodate the prospective traffic
and to afford satisfactory access to police, fire-fighting, snow removal
and other road maintenance equipment. The arrangement of streets shall
be such as not to cause undue hardship to adjoining properties and
shall be coordinated so as to compose a convenient system.
The arrangement, width, grade and location of
all streets shall conform to the Master Plan and any plan for the
neighborhood approved by the Planning Board and shall be considered
in relation to existing and planned streets, to topographic conditions,
to public convenience and safety and in their appropriate relation
to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such street.
Local, minor and rural streets shall be planned
so that their use by through traffic will be discouraged.
Where the subdivision borders on an existing
street and any Master Plan, the County Superintendent of Highways
or the Town Superintendent of Highways indicates plans for realignment
or widening of the street that would require reservation of some land
of the subdivision, the Planning Board shall require that such areas
be shown and marked on the subdivision plat as "reserved for street
realignment (or widening) purposes."
The minimum building setback shall be 75 feet
from the center of the road.
All streets shall be named, and such names shall
be subject to the approval of the Planning Board, Names shall be sufficiently
different in sound and in spelling from other street names so as not
to cause confusion. A street which is a continuation of an existing
street shall bear the same name.
