The type and arrangement of roadways with the McClellan Court PRO zone shall be in compliance with the provisions of this section and shall supercede Section 15.03.200, Provo City Code. A developments located on or next to a collector or arterial street shall be designed and developed so the public street continues through the project in a logical, safe design. A development located at the end of stubbed local public street may be required to extend the street through the development based on the proposed circulation needs of the area.

(a) A local street right-of-way shall have a width of thirty-two (32) feet.

(b) The minimum width of asphalt wherever curb and gutters are installed (lip to lip of curb) shall be as twenty-eight (26) feet. See Figure 14.50(19).230(a) at the end of this Chapter.

(2) To promote connectivity of the street system for efficient circulation, and to provide future street connections for adjacent undeveloped and potential redevelopment sites, cul-de-sacs are not permitted. Stub streets are required for adjacent property expected to redevelop in the future as reasonably determined by the Planning Commission.

(3) Minimum street grades shall be four tenths (0.4) of one (1) percent. The maximum street grade shall be twelve (12) percent for a local street.

(4) Where the street lines within a block deflect from each other, there should be a connecting curve. The radius of the curve for the center shall be not less than one hundred sixty-five (165) feet for a local street. Local streets shall be designed with horizontal and vertical curves.

(5) Curbs at local street intersections shall be rounded with a curve having a minimum lip of curb radius of fifteen (15) feet.

(6) Specifications for the design of street sub-base, base, hard surfacing, curb and gutters and the treatment of drainage courses shall comply with standard specifications as adopted by the City and administered by the City Engineer. All improvements, other than right-of-way, asphalt width and sidewalk width within a public right-of-way shall conform to the standard drawings and specifications approved by the Engineering Department.

(7) New street names shall not duplicate those already existing. A street, obviously a continuation of another already in existence, shall bear the same name. The numerical system of street designations shall be maintained and extended where possible. Streets that curve, loop, horseshoe, or meander should be given an alphabetical name.

(8) Street signs shall be installed where required by the City Engineer. A fee sign as shown on the Consolidated Fee Schedule adopted by the Municipal Council shall be paid to the Engineering Department prior to final plat approval.

(9) All streets shall be public streets and shall be dedicated for public use. The full width of all streets (as described above) within a development shall be dedicated and the roadway paved.

(10) The arrangement of streets in new developments shall make provision for the continuation of the existing streets in adjoining areas (or their proper projection where adjoining land is not subdivided or is expected to redevelop).

(a) Public right-of-way connections shall be made in a manner that will provide safe and convenient access to an existing or planned arterial/collector street, school, park, employment center, commercial area, or similar neighborhood activity center. The connections may be completed over time in phases as part of a required overall street plan.

(b) Public right-of-way shall be extended to adjacent undeveloped, partially developed or expected redevelopment contiguous land in locations which will not prevent the adjoining property from developing consistent with applicable standards.

(11) Sidewalks shall be five (5) feet in width and comply with the latest American Disabilities Act requirements. Sidewalks shall not be contained within a right-of-way but shall be constructed and maintained along front or street sideyard property lines in any development. A pedestrian and utility easement shall be called out and maintained for the sidewalk area. Planter strips of a minimum five (5) feet in width shall be used in all street cross sections right-of-way on one-side of the right-of-way only.
