Section 12-3-050 Dedicated Access
A. Each subdivision shall provide for adequate traffic circulation based on the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) and classification system in Section 12-3-060 of these Regulations.
B. Where private streets are approved, the plat, the deed restrictions and the Homeowners Association by-laws shall contain statements declaring these streets to be private and remaining the permanent responsibility of the Homeowners Association. Such private streets are subject to an easement authorizing use by emergency and public service vehicles.
C. Cul-de-sac streets shall not be any longer than six hundred feet (600’). The Director and the Commission may recommend approval of a longer cul-de-sac if the topography, adjacent platting or other unusual conditions justify the exception.
D. Cul-de-sac streets shall terminate in a circular right-of-way, fifty feet (50’) in radius, with an improved traffic turning circle of a minimum forty feet (40’) in radius.
E. Acute angle intersections and intersections on the inside of a horizontal curve are prohibited, unless otherwise approved by the Town Engineer.
F. Street designs shall meet the criteria of Chapter 12, Figure 2 (Street Classification and Minimum Design Standards) and Figure 3 (Street Curve and Design Data).
G. Dead-end streets will not be approved except in locations designated by the Subdivision Committee and Commission as necessary to future extension in development of adjacent lands. In any case, a dead-end street serving more than four (4) lots shall provide, by easement, a temporary turning circle with a forty foot (40’) radius or other acceptable design to accomplish adequate access.
H. At street intersections, property line corner shall be rounded by circular arc, said arc to be the corner cut-off minimum from figure 4.
I. At the intersection of two (2) streets of different classification, the corner cut-off dimension and curb return radius of the wider street shall be used.
J. Vertical curbs shall be required on the downhill side of streets having grades of six percent (6%) or greater.
K. The minimum street grade shall be five percent (0.5%).
L. No subdivision shall be approved without dedicated legal access to a collector street. (Prior code § 12-3-5)
