§ 5.1. Street standards.

All streets hereafter constructed shall conform to the standards of this section.

(A)

Layout and alignment:

(1)

Proposed streets shall be coordinated with the street system in the surrounding area and where possible shall provide for the continuation of existing streets abutting the proposed development.

(2)

The arrangement of streets shall be such as will not cause hardship to owners of adjoining property in providing convenient access.

(3)

All proposed streets shall intersect existing or proposed streets at a 90-degree angle. The perpendicular intersection of two roads shall provide a minimum 50-foot setback from the right-of-way intersection to provide adequate sight distance of oncoming traffic.

(4)

In order to insure safety at street intersections, all interactions will be marked to indicate where each stop or yield sign will be placed.

(B)

Visibility at intersections: On a corner at any intersection, nothing shall be erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as to impede vision between a height of 2½ and ten feet above the centerline grades of the intersecting streets. Height limits will apply to the area bounded by the highway right-of-way lines on each corner lot and a line joining points along the street lines 50 feet from the point of the intersection.

5.1.1. Speed limits on county maintained roads. Speed limits on county maintained roads may be established by the planning commission according to the procedures specified in Appendix G: Procedures for Setting Speed Limits on County Maintained Road.
