[CC 2000 §10-3-1; CC 1974 §§18-5 — 18-6,
18-8 — 18-9]
A.
Arrangement Of Streets. The arrangement of streets in new
subdivisions shall make provisions for the proper location and width
of major streets. The subdivider may be required to continue certain
adjoining streets through the area that is being subdivided whenever
such is necessary to provide for local movements of vehicles or to
enable adjoining property to be properly subdivided.
B.
Widths.
1.
Streets.
a.
Major streets. The widths of major streets shall
conform to the widths designated by the fire district.
b.
Minor streets. The minimum easement for minor streets
shall be fifty (50) feet; provided however, that where the topography,
length or special conditions make a street of greater easement more
suitable, the above requirements may be increased.
2.
Alleys. Alleys should not be provided in residential
districts. Alleys will, however, be required in the rear of all business
lots and shall be at least twenty (20) feet wide.
C.
Establishment Of Places. Where it is desirable to subdivide
a tract of land which, because of its size or location, does not permit
a normal street arrangement, there may be established one (1) or more
places. Such a place may be in the form of a court, a dead-end street
or other arrangement; provided, that proper access shall be given
to all lots from a dedicated place, street or court. If such a place
is more than two hundred fifty (250) feet in length, it shall terminate
in an open space, preferably circular, having a minimum dimension
of one hundred (100) feet. Except in unusual instances, no dead-end
street or place shall exceed one thousand (1,000) feet in length.
D.
Street Names. Streets that are obviously in alignment with
others already existing and named shall bear the names of the existing
streets. Before the final plan for the subdivision shall be approved,
the subdivider shall submit to the Board of Aldermen a statement from
the local postmaster approving the names of the proposed streets and
of the proposed system of postal addresses along such streets.
[CC 2000 §10-3-2; CC 1974 §18-10]
A.
Where Alleys Not Provided. Where alleys are not provided,
easements of not less than five (5) feet in width shall be provided
on each side of all rear lot lines and side lines where necessary
for poles, wires, conduits, storm and sanitary sewers, gas, water
and heat mains. Easements of greater width may be required along lines
or across lots where necessary for the extension of main sewers and
similar utilities.
B.
Watercourse Channels. Whenever any stream or important surface
watercourse is located in an area that is being subdivided, the subdivider
shall channel so that it will carry the surface water and shall also
provide and dedicate to the City an adequate easement along each side
of the stream, which easement shall be for the purpose of widening,
improving or protecting the stream and for recreational use.
[CC 2000 §10-3-3; CC 1974 §§18-11 —
18-12]
A.
Lots. The minimum area of any lot in a subdivision shall
not be less than the minimum lot area requirements of the zoning district
in which the area is located. No lot shall have a width of less than
fifty (50) feet at the building line.
B.
Building Lines. Building lines shall be shown on all lots intended for residential use of any character and on commercial lots immediately adjoining residential areas. Such building lines shall not be less than required by Chapter 405 of this Code. Provision shall be made by deed requiring all enclosed parts of buildings to be set back from such building lines.
