Latest version.
  • a.

    A publicly approved street, that has been opened and accepted for public maintenance; or whose construction has been guaranteed, as provided under Article 6.4.6, and meeting the requirements of this Article, shall serve every development and every lot within a subdivision.

    b.

    Every subdivision shall have access to the public street system via a paved roadway. Subdivision projects containing more than 200 lots must have at least two points of access.

    c.

    When land is subdivided into larger parcels than ordinary building lots, such parcels shall be arranged and designed so as to allow for the opening of future streets and to provide access to those areas not presently served by streets.

    d.

    No subdivision or development shall be designed in a way that would completely eliminate street access to adjoining parcels of land.

    e.

    Where, in the opinion of the Public Works Department, it is necessary to provide for street access to adjoining property, proposed streets shall be extended by dedication of right-of-way to the boundary of such property through the development.

    f.

    Where an arterial street adjoins or is included in a residential subdivision, the responsible city and/or county engineer may limit access to the arterial street. Lots that abut the arterial shall be provided with another means of access, such as (1) platting reverse frontage lots, (2) platting a separate street parallel to the arterial, or (3) platting a loop street or cul-de-sac.
