to the proposed uses of the area to be served. (b) Local Streets and Dead -End Streets. Local streets should be planned so as to discourage their use by non -local traffic. Dead -end streets are prohibited, but cul -de -sacs shall be permitted where topography or other physical conditions justify their use. Cul -de -sacs shall not be longer than five hundred (500) feet, including a terminal turn- around which shall be provided at the closed end, with a right - of -way radius of not less than fifty (50) feet. (c) Street Plans for Future Subdivisions. Where the plat to be submitted includes only part of the tract owned or intended, a future street system for the un- subdivided portion shall be prepared and submitted by the subdivider. (d) Temporary Cul -De -Sac. In those instances where a street is terminated pending future extension in conjunction with future subdivision, a temporary turn around facility shall be provided at the closed end, in conformance with cul- de -sac requirements. (e) Provisions for Re- subdivision of Large Lots and Parcels. When a tract is subdivided into larger than normal building lots or parcels, such lots or parcels shall be so arranged as to permit the logical location and openings of future streets and appropriate re- subdivision, with provision for adequate utility connections for such re- subdivision. (f) Street Intersections. Under normal conditions, streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, except where topography or other conditions justify variations. Under normal conditions, the minimum angle of intersection of streets shall be eighty (80) degrees. Street intersection jogs with an offset of less than one hundred twenty -five (125) feet shall be avoided. (g) Subdivisions Abutting Major Rights -of -Way. Wherever the proposed subdivision contains or is adjacent to the right - of -way of a U.S. or State Highway or thoroughfare, provision may be made for a marginal access street approximately parallel and adjacent to the boundary of such right -of -way, provided that due consideration is given to proper circulation design, or for a street at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of land between such street and right -of -way. Such distance shall be determined with due consideration of the minimum distance required for approach connections to future grade separations, or for lot depths. - 2 0 -
