CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS Adoption General Fees and Permits Special Backfill Requirements Street Pavement Sections 16.12.020. A. The arrangements, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to the comprehensive plan, shall integrate harmoniously with existing and planned streets, shall be appropriate to topographical conditions, shall enhance the public convenience and safety, and shall facilitate the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets. B. Local residential streets shall be designed to discourage their use by through traffic. Where a development abuts or contains an existing or proposed arterial street (as described below), railroad or limited access highway, the city may require frontage streets, reverse frontage streets, or such other treatment for the appropriate use of the tract. C. There shall be provided rights-of-way of such width and as provided in the comprehensive plan; provided, however, that the width of said rights-of-way shall in no case be less than the following: Type of Street Riqht-of-Way Width Curb Face-to-face Major arterial (major thoroughfare carrying traffic into and out of the city) 80' 64' Minor arterial (carries high traffic volumes onto and from other arterial, collector and local roads) 66' 52' Collector (medium density carrier of the traffic between neighborhoods and districts of the city) 60' 46' ORDINANCE - Page 2 dsc chbbck03.252 Local 50' (low density carrier of the traffic within neiqhborhoods and districts of the city) 39' Types of streets within a development shall be determined by the city engineer, consistent with the comprehensive plan. D. Cul-de-sac streets shall terminate in a circular turn- around with the right-of-way radius of at least forty-five feet. The city engineer may approve an equally convenient form of turning space where extreme conditions justify. The maximum length shall not exceed four hundred feet from the entrance to the center of the turn-around, unless the city engineer finds that greater length will permit better development of the subject property. E. Dead-end streets will not be approved except in locations designated by the city engineer as necessary to future extensions in development of adjacent lands. In any case, a dead-end street serving more than four lots shall provide by easement a temporary turning circle with a forty-foot radius or other acceptable design to accomplish adequate access. F. Loop streets shall be limited to a maximum length of two thousand feet. G. Streets shall be planned to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, but in no event at less than seventy degrees. Streets intersecting an arterial shall do so at a ninety-degree angle. H. Where any street deflects at an angle of ten degrees or more, a connection curve shall be required having a minimum centerline radius of three hundred feet for arterial and collector streets and one hundred twenty-five feet for local streets. I. Streets with centerline offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five feet shall be avoided. J. A tangent at least one hundred feet long shall be provided between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets. K. At street intersections, property line corners shall be rounded by a circular arc, said arc having a minimum tangent length of twenty feet. L. Street intersections with more than four legs and Y- type intersections where legs meet at acute angles shall be avoided. "T" intersections, rather than "cross" intersections, shall be utilized to the maximum extent possible in residential developments. M. Maximum and minimum grades for all streets shall be as determined by the city engineer. N. Alleys--twenty feet, when single family residence units abut both sides; twenty-four feet if abutting multiple family, commercial, or industrial districts. Dead-end alleys shall be avoided. O. Streets shall be extended to the boundary lines of the development, unless prevented by topography or other physical conditions or unless the city engineer determines that such ORDINANCE - Page 3 dsc chbbck03.252 extension is not desirable for coordination of the development with the existing layout or the most advantageous future development of adjacent tracts. However, streets carrying nonresidential traffic, especially truck traffic, shall not normally be extended to the boundaries of adjacent existing or potential residential areas, or connected to streets intended for predominantly residential traffic. P. Excessively long, straight local streets in residential areas, conducive to high-speed traffic, shall be prohibited according to the determination of the city engineer. Q. Pedestrian walks on both sides of a street, within the street right-of-way, together with concrete curbs and gutters approved by the city engineer, and paved vehicular traffic area, shall be required on all streets in a proposed development. R. Access to streets shall conform to the "standard approach policy" promulgated by the division of highways, state department of transportation.
