10-1-115 STREET REQUIREMENTS

1. The alignment and width of all extended through streets shall be preserved unless unusual topographical conditions make a modification advisable. 2. Where a large subdivision abuts upon a major thoroughfare, the City Council may require access streets, which are streets that are parallel to and adjacent to a major thoroughfare or highway; and which provides access to abutting properties and protection from through traffic, to be included in the street plan. 3. Street width is to be measured from lot line to lot line. Except for a residential street, as defined and outlined in Utah Code 10-9a-533, the minimum width of streets, unless otherwise expressly permitted by the City Council, so measured, shall be for all streets, sixty-six (66) feet. The requirement for pavement shall be at least 24 feet. 4. All dead-end streets must, unless otherwise expressly permitted by the City council, provide at their terminus a turnaround with a radius of at least fifty (50) feet, and shall provide adequate means of drainage. 5. Between reverse curves a tangent of at least one hundred (100) feet shall be required unless in the opinion of the City engineer such is not necessary. 6. Streets shall intersect each other as near as possible at right angles. 7. Minimum street grades of 0.3 percent will be required with the maximum grade being seven percent for secondary and major streets and ten (10) percent for all streets. Where the observance of this standard is impossible, the City council shall have the power to grant an exception when special pavement surfaces and adequate leveling areas are installed or, in the opinion of the council, the best subdivision of the land is thereby secured. 8. Where street lines within a block deflect from each other at any one point more than ten (10) degrees, there shall be a connecting curve. The radius of the curve for the inner street line should be not less than three hundred fifty (350) feet for all streets. 9. New street names shall not duplicate those already existing. A street obviously a continuation of another already in existence and named should bear the same name. Before the street is named, the proposed name must be submitted to and approved by the City council. 10. All streets within the City limits will be required to be dedicated for public use. No subdivision shall have private streets. The dedication of half streets is prohibited. 11. No subdivision for residential development shall be approved except in a residential district.
