A.
The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and
location of all streets shall conform to the Master Plan and to the
Official Map and to the Highway Specification Section 5-C[1] and shall be considered in their relation to other existing
and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public conveniences
and safety and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses
of land to be served and/or abutted by such streets.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Highway Specifications
are on file in the village offices.
B.
Where such is not shown in the Master Plan, the arrangement
of streets in a subdivision shall either:
(1)
Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection
of existing principal streets; or
(2)
Conform to a plan for the neighborhood approved or
adopted by the Planning Board to meet a particular situation where
topographical or other conditions make continuance of or conformance
to existing streets impractical.
C.
Minor streets shall be so laid out that their use
by through traffic will be discouraged.
D.
Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing
or proposed arterial street, the Planning Board may require marginal
access streets, reverse frontage with screen planting contained in
a nonaccess reservation along the rear property line, deed lots or
such other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of
residential properties and to afford separation of through and local
traffic.
E.
Where a subdivision borders on or contains a railroad
right-of-way or controlled access highway right-of-way, the Planning
Board may require a street approximately parallel to and on each side
of such right-of-way at a distance suitable for the appropriate use
of the intervening land, as for park purposes in residential districts
or for commercial or industrial purposes in appropriate districts.
Such distance shall also be determined with due regard for the requirement
of approach grades and future grade separations.
F.
Reserve strips controlling access to streets, water
plants or sewage treatment plants and dedicated or to be dedicated
to public use shall be prohibited except where their control is definitely
placed with the village under conditions approved by the Planning
Board.
G.
When street lines deflect from each other at any one
point by more than 10°, they shall be connected by a curve with
a radius at the inner street line of not less than 250 feet for minor
and collector streets and of such greater radius as the Planning Board
shall determine for special cases.
H.
Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly
as possible at right angles, and no street shall intersect any other
street at less than 75°. Any change in street alignment to meet
this requirement shall occur at least 100 feet from the intersection.
I.
Property lines at street intersections shall be rounded
with a radius of 10 feet or with a greater radius where the Planning
Board may deem it necessary. The Planning Board may permit comparable
cutoffs or chords in place of rounded corners.
J.
Street right-of-way widths shall be as shown in the
Master Plan, and where not shown therein, shall be not less than as
follows:
|
Street Type
|
Right-of-Way Width
(feet)
| |
|---|---|---|
|
Arterial
|
80 to 120*
| |
|
Collector
|
66 minimum
| |
|
Minor
|
50 minimum
| |
|
Marginal access
|
50 minimum
|
|
NOTES:
| |
|---|---|
|
*Not including right-of-way for marginal access
streets, if any.
|
K.
Half-width roads or alleys will be acceptable only
when the boundary of the proposed plat coincides with the boundary
of a recorded plat on which a half-width road or alley is presently
dedicated.
M.
No street names shall be used which will duplicate
or likely be confused with names of existing streets. Street names
shall be subject to the approval of the Planning Board.
N.
Alleys will not be permitted except in business or
industrial areas (as defined by the Zoning Board of Appeals) and then
only by special permission of the Planning Board.
O.
Private roads in recorded plats shall meet all requirements
of public roads.
P.
Appropriate utility layouts shall be provided.
A.
Easements across lots or centered on rear or side
lot lines shall be provided for utilities where necessary and shall
be at least 15 feet wide.
B.
Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse,
drainageway channel or stream, there shall be provided a stormwater
easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the
lines of such watercourse and such further width or construction,
or both, as will be adequate for the purpose. Parallel streets or
parkways may be required in connection therewith.
A.
Where a proposed park, playground, school or other
public use area shown in a Master Plan is located in whole or in part
in a subdivision, the Planning Board will require the dedication or
reservation of such area within the subdivision for that purpose in
those cases in which the Planning Board deems such requirements to
be reasonable.
B.
Where deemed essential by the Planning Board upon
consideration of the particular type of development proposed in the
subdivision and especially in large-scale neighborhood unit developments
not anticipated in the Master Plan, the Planning Board may require
the dedication or reservation of such other areas or sites of a character,
extent and location suitable to the needs created by such development
for schools, parks, water plants, sewage treatment plants and other
community purposes.
C.
If no suitable site exists, the Planning Board may
recommend and the Village Board determine an amount of payment to
the village for recreation use as outlined in the Village Law.
[Added 10-19-2009 by L.L. No. 3-2009]
Driveways and roadway and access connections shall be subject to and comply with Chapter 150 of the Village Code.
