§ 153.32. BASIC STREET, ALLEY AND EASEMENT REQUIREMENTS.
Latest version.
(A) The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions or plats shall be so laid out as to provide a continuation of existing streets of adjoining areas or the projection of east-west or north-south streets of the city if there are no adjoining streets. The width of streets in new subdivisions shall be not less than the minimum street width established herein. Offset or irregular streets are prohibited unless the topography of the area concerned makes the construction of regular streets impossible or impractical. Minor streets or those of irregular nature should approach any major street except major diagonal streets hereinafter named at an angle of between 80 degrees and 100 degrees.
(B) Major streets are designated as follows:
(1) Seventh Avenue from west boundary to east boundary of the city;
(2) Margaret Street from Holloway Avenue to Nineteenth Avenue;
(3) All county aid roads now in existence and any accepted in the future;
(4) Any street so designated by the Council in future areas.
(C) Major streets shall be 100 feet in width, except where existing conditions make a street of less width more suitable as determined by the Council. The minimum width for other streets shall be 60 feet. The subdivider may be required to provide additional land to construct a street of adequate width.
(D) The minimum width of an alley shall be 20 feet. Where alleys are not provided, easements of not less than ten feet in width shall be provided on each side of all rear lot lines and alongside lot lines, where necessary, for any anchors, poles, wires, conduits, sewers, pipes or mains for any public utility. Easements of greater widths may be required under extraordinary conditions of topography or utility line groupings.
