A. Whenever a tract to be subdivided embraces any part of a street designated in the adopted Town General Plan, Street Plan, Trail Plan, or Circulation Plan, such streets, bicycle ways, pedestrian ways and trails shall be platted in conformance therewith.

B. Street layout shall provide for the continuation of such streets as the Subdivision Committee and/or the Commission may designate.

C. The street patterns in the land development shall not landlock adjacent property nor prevent access to public land.

D. Whenever a tract to be subdivided is located within an area for which a Neighborhood Plan has been approved, the street arrangement shall conform substantially to said plan.

E. Proposed collector streets shall be extended to the tract boundary to provide future connection with adjoining unplatted lands, or existing collector streets.

F. Residential streets, other than designated collector streets, shall be so arranged as to discourage through traffic.

G. Where a subdivision abuts or contains the right-of-way of a drainage way, an irrigation ditch, a railroad right-of-way, or abuts a commercial or industrial land use, the Director and Commission may require the location of a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way at a distance suitable for appropriate use of intervening land. Such distance shall be determined with due regard for approach grades, drainage, bridges or future grade separations.

H. Streets shall be so arranged in relation to existing topography as to produce desirable lots of maximum utility and streets of reasonable gradient, and to facilitate adequate drainage.

I. Alleys shall be required in all commercial and industrial subdivisions unless the Subdivision Committee and the Commission recommend waiving this requirement. Alleys may be required in residential subdivisions if the Subdivision Committee and the Commission recommend that alleys be required to complete an existing pattern or to provide secondary access to adjacent properties or service.

J. Half-streets shall be discouraged, except where necessary, to provide right-of-way required by the adopted Town Circulation Plan, to complete a street pattern already begun, or to ensure reasonable development of a number of adjoining parcels. Where there exists a platted half-street abutting the tract to be subdivided, the remaining half shall be platted within the tract.

K. Street patterns that provide multiple accesses to the subdivision are encouraged and may be required by the Committee, Commission and/or the Council. (Prior code § 12-3-4)
