A.
The Town Engineer shall determine and designate into
which of the four following classifications each proposed subdivision
road falls on the basis of one or more of the criteria hereinafter
set forth and in accordance with the Town Development Plan:
B.
Final plans shall be drawn to show and the developer
shall construct each road in accordance with the particular specifications
for its designated classification as also hereinafter set forth, as
well as in accordance with the specifications common to all classifications.
The following shall apply to major or through
roads:
A.
The proposed road is the direct and logical continuation
of an existing highway that carried 500 or more heavy and light vehicles
during a twelve-hour period as shown on the latest traffic count;
or
B.
The proposed road creates a shorter and more convenient
through traffic artery so that it can be reasonably expected that
traffic will be diverted from other major streets to such an extent
that it will reach at least 500 cars in 12 hours two years after opening;
or
C.
The proposed road could logically be expected to become
a major street because of future construction or other foreseeable
circumstances.
The following shall apply to commercial or industrial
roads:
A.
The proposed road is in an area zoned for commerce
or industry; or
B.
The proposed road is on or so close to the dividing
line between a residential and a commercial or industrial area that
it may reasonably be expected to carry a substantial volume of heavy
vehicles; or
C.
The proposed road creates a shorter and more convenient
route between a commercial or industrial area and a major traffic
artery; or
D.
The proposed road for any other reason may be expected
to carry a substantial volume of commercial or industrial traffic.
For Type I local roads, the proposed road shall
be a dead end within a residential development.
The following shall apply to Type II local roads:
A.
The proposed road shall not be or be reasonably expected
to become a through, commercial or industrial road; or
B.
The proposed road is not or cannot reasonably be expected
to become a continuation or extension of a road of one of the two
above described classifications. Should such be the case, the proposed
road shall take the classification of the road of which it is a continuation
or extension; or
C.
The proposed road does not or cannot reasonably be
expected to carry a substantial volume of traffic.
