All subdivisions shall conform to the existing Town plan as
approved by the Town Planning and Zoning Commission.
The arrangement of proposed streets shall in general provide
for the continuation of the principal existing streets without offsets
and with widths at least as great as those of existing streets. Where
such straight continuations are not practical, continuations may be
adjusted by reasonable curves or deflection angles, subject to the
approval of the Commission. Where a subdivision touches or contains
streets proposed on the existing Town plan, the layout within the
subdivision shall conform thereto.
No subdivision showing any reserved strips shall be approved.
[Amended effective 5-20-1969]
No dead-end street shall be permitted except when topographic
or physical conditions make it impossible at the time to extend it
or connect it with another proposed or existing street. In any such
case, a dead end may be permitted, provided that such dead-end street
shall not exceed in length the frontage of 10 lots per side and shall
have a circular turnaround at its terminus with a radius of not less
than 50 feet. No lot or part of lot may be placed in such a position
as to prevent future extension of dead-end street.
Due consideration shall be given to the laying out of adequate
local parks and playgrounds in residential areas to be dedicated to
public use or to be reserved for the common use of all property owners
by covenant in the deed and subject to the control of the Town under
conditions approved by the Town Council of the Town of Stratford.
Where a subdivision touches or contains sites proposed for public
buildings in the Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Stratford in force
on the date the subdivision plat is filed, the layout of the site
shall conform thereto.
