Chapter 13.44
BLOCK DESIGN STANDARDS
Sections:
13.44.030 Blocks adjacent to neighborhood collector streets.
13.44.010 Recommended length.
Blocks should not be less than three hundred feet nor more than six hundred sixty feet in length, unless an approved emergency vehicle turn-around is provided. Where circumstances warrant, the Director of Public Works may require one or more public crosswalks, or trail connections of not less than ten feet in width dedicated to the Town to extend entirely across the width of the block at locations deemed necessary. (Ord. 01-412 § 1 (Exh. 1 (part)), 2001: Ord. 01-410 § 3 (part), 2001: Ord. 01-404 § 3 (part), 2001: Ord. 00-396 § 3(part), 2000)
13.44.020 Width.
Blocks shall be wide enough to allow two tiers of lots. Each block shall have a minimum depth consistent with the zoning provisions within which the proposed subdivision is located. Blocks fronting on collectors, or where prevented by topographical conditions or size of the property, may propose a single tier. (Ord. 01-412 § 1 (Exh. 1 (part)), 2001: Ord. 01-410 § 3 (part),
2001: Ord. 01-404 § 3 (part), 2001: Ord. 00-396 § 3(part), 2000)
13.44.030 Blocks adjacent to neighborhood collector streets.
Blocks adjacent to neighborhood collector streets shall be so arranged such that the long dimension of the block is parallel to the neighborhood collector street and that lots do not front on or have access to the neighborhood collector street. Where this arrangement is not feasible, marginal access streets may be required. The minimum length of a block adjacent to and parallel to a neighborhood collector should be three hundred feet. (Ord. 01-412 § 1 (Exh. 1 (part)), 2001: Ord. 01-410 § 3 (part), 2001: Ord. 01-404 § 3 (part), 2001: Ord. 00-396 § 3(part), 2000)
13.44.040 Block conformity.
All streets, curbs, trails and walkways shall be improved to the full width of the dedication continuing from intersection to intersection. On streets where the dedication does not continue from intersection to intersection, the improvements shall be continuous from intersection to subdivision boundary. On streets where a proposed subdivision adjoins an existing subdivision or existing street dedication in midblock and the existing subdivision or existing street dedication is unpaved, the subdivider shall be responsible for paving that portion of the street within the existing subdivision or street dedication to the next intersection. (Ord. 01-412 § 1 (Exh. 1 (part)), 2001: Ord. 01-410 § 3 (part), 2001: Ord. 01-404 § 3 (part), 2001: Ord. 00-396 § 3(part), 2000)
