16-304 : Right-of-way.

The minimum width of right-of-way, measured from lot line to lot line, shall not be less than as follows:

  1. Arterial streets and highways: eighty to one hundred fifty feet (80' - 150'), as may be required. Arterial streets and highways are those to be used primarily for fast or heavy traffic and will be located on the major thoroughfare plan.
  2. Collector streets: sixty feet (60'). Collector streets are those which carry traffic from minor streets to the major system of arterial streets and highways and include the principal entrance streets of a residential development and streets for major circulation within such a development.
  3. Minor residential streets: fifty feet (50'). Minor residential streets are those which are used primarily for access to the abutting residential properties and designed to discourage their use by through traffic.
  4. Marginal access streets: forty feet (40'). Marginal access streets are minor streets which are parallel to and adjacent to arterial streets and highways; and which provide access to abutting properties and protection from through traffic.

  5. Dead-end streets (cul-de-sac): forty feet (40'). Cul-de-sacs are permanent dead-end streets or courts not to exceed six hundred feet (600') or fifteen (15) dwelling units, designed so that they cannot be extended in the future.

    In cases where topography or other physical conditions make a street of the required minimum width impracticable, the planning commission may modify the above requirements.

  6. Loop streets: forty feet (40'). Loop streets are streets open at both ends and connected to only one residential street with a maximum length one thousand two hundred feet (1,200') or twenty-five (25) dwelling units.
  7. Rural streets: fifty feet (50'). Rural streets are those where development density is not more than one dwelling unit per acre and where minimum street frontage is one hundred fifty feet (150') per lot.
  8. Alleys: twenty feet (20'). Alleys are minor public ways used primarily for service access to the back side of properties otherwise abutting on a street. (Ord. #13, June 1975)
