§ 212-35. Streets.

A. 

The arrangement of streets not shown on the Master Plan or official Map shall be such as to provide for the appropriate extension of existing streets.

B. 

Minor streets shall be so designed as to discourage through traffic.

C. 

Subdivisions abutting arterial streets shall provide a marginal service road or reverse frontage with a buffer strip for planting, or some other means of separation of through and local traffic as the Planning Board may determine appropriate.

D. 

The right-of-way width shall be measured from lot line to lot line and shall not be less than 50 feet unless otherwise shown on the Master Plan.

E. 

No subdivision showing reverse strips controlling access to streets shall be approved, except where the control and disposal of land comprising such strips has been placed in the governing body under conditions approved by the Planning Board.

F. 

Subdivisions or site plans that adjoin or include existing streets that do not conform to widths as shown on the Master Plan or Official Map or the street width requirements of this chapter shall dedicate additional width along either one or both sides of the road. If the subdivision or site plan is along one side only, 1/2 of the required area shall be dedicated.

G. 

Grades of arterial and collector streets shall not exceed 4%. Grades on other streets shall not exceed 10%. No street shall have a minimum grade of less than 1/2%, unless specifically approved by the Planning Board.

H. 

Street intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as is possible and in no case shall be less than 60°. The block corners at intersections shall be rounded at the property line with a curve radius of not less than 25 feet.

I. 

Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than 125 feet shall be prohibited.

J. 

A tangent of at least 100 feet long shall be introduced between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets.

K. 

All changes in grade shall be connected by vertical curves of sufficient radius to provide a smooth transition and proper sight distance.

L. 

Dead-end streets (culs-de-sac) shall not be longer than 600 feet and shall provide a turnaround at the end, with a radius of not less than 50 feet and tangent whenever possible to the right side of the street. If a dead-end street is of a temporary nature, a similar turnaround shall be provided and provisions made for future extension of the street and reversion of the excess right-of-way to the adjoining properties.

M. 

No street shall have a name which will duplicate or so nearly duplicate as to be confused with the name of an existing street. The continuation of an existing street shall have the same name as the existing street.
