side of the street and the street is located within a residential subdivision, the
street section shall conform to the City of Idaho Falls Standard Drawings and

may require a wider street width if circumstances so warrant. In determining
the street width, the City Engineer may take into consideration the following
factors:
1. Zoning and land usage of the area in which the street is located.
2. Anticipated traffic volume and character of traffic use.
3. Character or function of the street.
4. Vehicular and pedestrian safety.

provided the developer files a preliminary plat of an adjoining subdivision
depicting a through street connecting to such temporary dead-end street, and

such preliminary plat, at any time at the expiration of three (3) years after the
date the plat showing the temporary dead-end street was approved.

and no street shall intersect any other street at less than eighty degrees (80°)
or greater than one hundred degrees (100°).
(G) Streets in new subdivisions shall continue the alignment of existing streets in
adjoining subdivisions, or their proper projections when adjoining property is

adjoining property is platted.
(H) Minimum street grades of four -tenths percent (0.4%) shall be required with the
maximum grade being seven percent (7%) for secondary and major streets and

requirements of the Idaho Falls Standard Drawings and Engineering
Specifications, 2006 Edition. The construction of such street section shall also
be in accordance with the methods and procedures set forth in such Standard
Specifications.
(L) Where street lines within a block deflect from each other at any one point more
than ten degrees (10°), there shall be a connecting curve. The radius of the
curve for the inner street line shall be not less than seven hundred feet (700')
for a major street, two hundred fifty feet (250') for a collector or secondary
street, and fifty feet (50') for local or minor streets.
Curbs at street intersections shall be rounded with curves having a minimum
radius of twenty-five feet (25').
No plat shall be approved where the area between the exterior right-of-way line
of any public street located within and along the periphery of the subdivision,
and any property line between unplatted property owned by the developer and
any other property owned by another, is of insufficient size or is of an irregular
configuration such that such area cannot reasonably be used to develop lots
which will conform to the provisions of this chapter and the Zoning Ordinance.
Street name signs shall be erected by the developer at the corner of each
intersection located within the subdivision and in accordance with construction
standards established by the City Engineer.
All streets and alleys within the subdivision shall be dedicated for public use.

where essential to the reasonable development of the subdivision in conformity
with other requirements of this chapter and where it will be practicable to
require the dedication of the other one-half (1/2) when the adjoining property is
subdivided. Wherever a one-half (1/2) street is situated adjacent to a tract to
be subdivided, the other one-half (1/2) shall be platted within such tract.

inside diameter of such drivewa shall be no • reater than fifty percent (50% of
