considered.
(a) The arrangement, character, extent, width, and location of all streets shall be
considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, to reasonable circulation of traffic, to

the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. Wherever possible, the arrangement of
streets in new subdivisions shall provide for the continuation of existing streets in adjoining areas.
Where adjoining unsubdivided areas may be subdivided, the arrangement of streets in a new
subdivision shall make provision for the proper projection of streets into adjoining areas by carrying the
RHB 118 7 67 5-6-.97
ME230-5

new streets to the boundaries of the new subdivision at appropriate locations.
Subd. 2. Streets. Streets shall conform to the following design:

In no case shall the angle formed by the intersection of two streets be less than 80 degrees, with 90
degree intersections preferred. Intersections having more than four corners shall be prohibited.
Adequate land for future intersection and interchange construction needs shall be dedicated.
(c) Tangents. A tangent of at least three hundred (300) feet shall be introduced
between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets.
(d) Deflections. When connecting street lines deflect from each other at one point
by more than ten (10) degrees they shall be connected by a curve with a radius adequate to ensure a
sight distance of not less than five hundred (500) feet for arterials, three hundred (300) feet for
collectors, one hundred (100) feet for all other streets. The planning commission may allow greater or
lesser sight distances at the recommendation of the engineer.
(e) Street Jogs. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than 150 feet shall be
avoided for local streets.
(f) Local Streets. Minor streets shall be laid out so that their use by through traffic
is discouraged.

less than 1/4 mile and through existing and established crossroads where possible.
(j) Subdividing Small Tracts. In the subdividing of small tracts of land fronting
on arterial streets where there is no convenient access to existing entrances and where access from such
subdivision would be closer than 1/4 mile from an existing access point, a temporary entrance permit
may be granted. Provision shall be made in such subdivisions for the connection of roads to
neighboring land. As the major land is subdivided and developed, the access becomes possible at a
preferred location, such temporary entrance permits shall be discontinued.
(k) Half Streets. Half streets shall be prohibited.
(1) Hardship to Owners of Adjoining Property. The street arrangement shall not
cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in subdividing their own land and providing convenient
access to it.

convenient access, circulation, control and safety of street design. Blocks may be longer than 1300 feet

requirements of the applicable Zzoning Ddistrict, excluding flood lids -plains, wetlands, areas of
excessive high water table, and steep slopes. Rural service area lots
equalte-the-must be adequate to comply with the minimum lot area requirements for contiguous soils
as defined in the city's Individual Ssewage
Treatment and Ddisposal sSystems ordinance._defined-as-either Minimum lot area standards includes
a requirement that the lot contains a primary and a secondary site for a standard on -site sewage
disposal system.
