line of 1,920 feet; Minor Streets may have a minimum
radii at the centerline of 955 feet; Local Residential
Streets may have a minimum radii at the center line of
500 feet, unless in special circumstances the Town
Council approves a Local Residential street with a
smaller minimum radii, in which case the developer shall
pay an additional cost of installing the water and sewer
lines caused by the smaller radii.
(2) Street Intersection: More than two streets intersecting
at one point shall be avoided except where it is im-
practical to secure a proper street system otherwise.
Where several streets converge at one point, set--back
lines, special rounding or cutoff, of corners and/or
a traffic circle may be required to insure safety and
facility of traffic movement„ No major street shall
intersect any other major street at an angle of less
than sixty degrees. No minor street shall intersect
a major street at less than sixty degrees, or another
minor street at less than thirty degrees. No local
Residential Street shall intersect any other street at
less than eight degrees. Major street intersections
shall have property line corner radii with a minimum
tangent distance of thirty feet. Minor and Residential
Streets shall have as the property line corner, the
point of intersection of intersecting streets. Curb
radii at intersections shall be fifteen feet measured
from the face of the curb.
(3) Dead End Streets and Courts: Courts or places may be
permitted where the form or contour of the land makes
it difficult to plat with connecting streets, but except
in unusual cases, no dead end streets will be approved
unless such dead end streets are provided to connect
with future streets in adjacent land. Such courts or
places shall provide proper access to all lots and shall
generally not exceed four hundred feet in length, and

subdivisions may connect therewith. Reserve strips

property or to or from any street or alley or having
the effect of restricting or damaging the adjoining
property for subdivision purposes or which will not
be taxable or accessable for special improvements
shall not be permitted in any subdivision unless such
reserve strips are conveyed to the Town in fee simple.
(5) Street Grades: Major Streets may have a maximum grade
of five percent unless the natural topography is such
as to require steeper grades, in which case a seven and
one~.half percent grade may be used for a maximum con-
tinuous distance of 200 feet. Minor streets may have
a maximum grade of seven and one"half percent, Local
Residential Streets may have a maximum grade of ten
percent. All streets must have a minimum grade of at
least 5/10 of one percent, Centerline grade changes
with an algebraic difference of more than two percent
shall be connected with vertical curves of sufficient
length to provide a minimum of 600 feet sight distance
on Major Streets; 400 feet sight distance on Minor
Streets and Local Residential Streets. No vertical curve
shall be less than 200 feet in length. Wherever a cross
slope is necessary or desirable from one curb to the
opposite curb, such cross slopes shall not be less than
three inches in thirty feet nor more than twelve inches
in thirty feet.
(6) Block Lengths and Widths: In general, intersecting streets,
determining block lengths, shall be provided at such in-
tervals as to serve cross traffic adequately and to meet
existing streets or customary subdivision practices in
the neighborhood. Where no existing plats control, the
blocks shall be not more than 1000 feet in length nor
less than 600 feet in length except in unusual
cases, In an unusual case where a block is allowed to be
more than 1000 feet long, a connecting sidewalk 4-
feet wide and located on a 4 foot dedicated easement may
be required across the middle portion of such block for
pedestrian use„ Block widths shall not exceed 500
feet nor be less than 300 feet, except in unusual
cases.

Streets shall have a minimum dedicated width of 60
feet with a minimum pavement width of 36 feet from back
of curb to back of curb, except that in the case of
curvilinear streets such width shall be increased to a
width of 39 feet from back of curb to back of curb, if
required by City Engineer and/or Director of Public Works
in order to provide easy and safe travel on such streets,
Where the curve is not too sharp it shall be the policy
not to require the additional width in such curvilinear
streets.
(8) Sidewalks: Generally parallel residential sidewalks will
not be required, but where provided they shall be not
less than 4 feet in width; parallel to and not more than
2 feet above or below the adjacent curb grade; and shall
