The street pattern in the subdivision shall provide for the most advantageous development of adjoining areas and the entire neighborhood or district. The following principles shall be observed:

A. Where appropriate to the design and terrain, proposed streets shall be continuous and in alignment with existing planned or platted streets with which they are to connect. The centerlines of streets, if not in alignment, shall be offset at least 200 feet unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer for reasons of severe topography, one-way streets, or other unusual circumstances.

B. Proposed streets shall be extended to the boundary lines of the land to be subdivided, unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions, or unless, in the opinion of the Commission, such extension is not necessary for the coordination of the subdivision with the existing layout or the most advantageous future development of adjacent tracts. Where reservation for a future street is made, slope rights along the sides and end of the reserved area shall be preserved in the name of the City.

C. In the case of stub-end streets extending to the boundary of the property, a one-foot strip at the end of the stub-end street, the width of the street right-of-way, shall be deeded to the City pending the extension of said street into adjacent property. Where required, a temporary turn-around or a temporary connection to another street shall be provided by the subdivider.

D. Proposed streets shall intersect one another as nearly at right angles as topography and other limiting factors on good design permit. Streets shall be designed in a manner which will discourage the use of local streets for through traffic. Four-way intersections involving local streets shall be avoided whenever possible.
