DESIGN
STREET STANDARDS:
The quality of all improvements installed by the
subdivider either as a requirement of City
regulations or at his own option, shall be in
conformity with the standards of the city and
subject to the approval of the city Engineer.
The subdivision shall be substantially in
conformity with any development plans or
preliminary plans made in anticipation thereof and
in conformity with the requirements of State laws
and standards:
GENERAL STANDARDS: The location, width and grade
of all streets shall be considered in their
relation to existing and planned streets, to
topographical conditions, to public convenience and
safety, and in their appropriate relation to the
proposed use of the land to be served by such
streets. Where location is not shown in a
development plan, the arrangement of streets in a
subdivision shall either:
(1) Provide for the continuation or appro-
priate projection of existing principal
streets in surrounding areas; or
(2) Conform to a plan for the neighborhood
approved or adopted by the Planning Com-
mission to meet a particular situation
where topographical or other conditions
make continuance or conformance to existing
streets impractical.
(3) Where conditions prevail that would call for a
street of less than 34 feet width on street
parking be restricted to only one side of the
street.

Where topographical requirements necessitate either
cuts or fills for the proper grading of the
streets, additional right-of-way width shall be
(i.e.) reviewed to allow all cuts and fill slopes
to be within the right-of-way.
DEDICATION OF A RIGHT-OF-WAY:
If a parcel of land to be subdivided or partitioned
includes a portion of a right-of-way, highway, or
road, the location of which has been determined,
the subdivider shall dedicate such right-of-way for
the purpose or use proposed.
CUL-DE-SAC STANDARDS:
Cul-de-sac streets shall not be permitted unless a
loop or through street developments would not be
practical. If permitted cul-de-sacs shall be no
more than 250 feet deep from right-of-way
intersection to end of right-of-way. (See Diagram

INTERSECTION ANGLES:
Streets shall be laid out to intersect at angles as
near to right angles as practical, but in no case
less than 60 degrees unless there is a special
intersection design that is acceptable to the city
Engineer. Streets shall have at least 50 feet of
tangent adjacent to the intersection unless
topography requires a lesser distance.
Intersections which are not at right angles shall
have a minimum corner radius of 15 feet along the
right-of-way lines of the acute angle. All right-
of-way lines at intersections with arterial streets
shall have not less than 20 feet on a corner
radius. (See Diagram 6)

except for the extension of existing streets.
street names and numbers shall conform to the
established system of the City and shall be subject
to review by the Planning Commission.
GRADES AND CURVES:
Grades shall not exceed 8 percent unless the
Commission finds that because of topographic
conditions a steeper grade is necessary. In flat
areas, allowance shall be made for finished street
grades having minimum slopes of one-half percent
unless allowed by city Engineer. Centerline radius
of curves shall not be less than 300 feet on major
arterials, 200 feet on minor arterials, and 100
feet on all other streets.
STREETS ADJACENT TO RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAYS:
In the event the proposed subdivision contains or
is adjacent to a railroad right-of-way, provision
shall be made for a street approximately parallel
to and on each side of such right-of-way at a
distance suitable for the appropriate use of the
land between such streets and the railroad.
BLOCKS AND LOTS:
Blocks: The length, width and shapes of blocks
shall be designed with due regard to provide
adequate building sites suitable to the special
needs of the type of use contemplated, needs for
convenient access, circulation, control and safety
of street traffic and limitations and opportunities
of topography. Blocks shall not exceed 1,200 feet
in length, except blocks adjacent to arterial
streets or unless the previous adjacent layouts or
topographical conditions justify a variation. The
recommended minimum distance between intersections
of arterial streets is 1,800 feet.
LOTS: All lots shall have a minimum size of the
zoning district in which they are located. In cul-
de-sacs the minimum lot line fronting the
turnaround shall be 40 feet, and in the case of a
curved lot line where the radius of curvature is
100 feet or less, (the minimum lot line fronting
that curvature shall be 40 feet), and in (no cases

development of the subdivision and the
preservation of property rights and values.
(3) That the variance will not be present or
hereafter be detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to other properties or persons
adjacent to or in the vicinity of the proposed
subdivision.

shall be based upon a written statement by the
subdivider in which is given complete details of
consideration and reasons why a specific variance
should be granted. A request for a variance from
these regulations shall be filed with the Planning
commission prior to presentation of the final plat
for approval. No variance will be considered after
