§ 27-281. Streets.

(a)

Arrangement of major streets shall conform as nearly as possible to the major street plan. Except for courts and cul-de-sacs, streets normally shall connect with streets already dedicated in adjoining or adjacent subdivisions, or provide for future connections to adjoining unsubdivided tracts.

(b)

Provisions shall be made for adequate traffic circulation. Cul-de-sacs shall normally not be longer than 500 feet, including a turnaround that shall have an outside curb radius of not less than 40 feet and a right-of-way radius of not less than 50 feet. Local streets shall be laid out so that through traffic will be discouraged.

(c)

Where the plat includes only part of the tract owned or intended for development by the developer, a tentative plan of a proposed future street system and drainage system for the remaining portion shall be prepared and submitted by the developer.

(d)

Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, except where topography or other conditions justify variations. The minimum angle of intersection of streets generally shall be 75 degrees.

(e)

Streets entering the opposite sides of a street shall either be directly across from each other or offset by at least 100 feet from centerline to centerline.

(f)

Alleys shall not be less than 20 feet wide. Intersecting alleys shall have corner cutoffs of at least 20 feet on a side. Dead-end alleys shall have turnarounds of the same dimensions as required for a cul-de-sac.

(g)

Street design shall conform to table A.

(h)

In general, intersecting streets determining block lengths shall be provided at such intervals as to serve cross traffic adequately and to meet existing or future streets. Where no existing plats control, the blocks shall not exceed 1,800 feet in length.
