§ 7. Street right-of-way widths.  


Latest version.
  • Street right-of-way widths shall be in conformity with the requirements of the comprehensive plan. In no event, however, shall such widths be less than fifty (50) feet for residential streets, sixty (60) feet for collector streets, one hundred (100) feet for arterial streets. Where topographical conditions, drainage channels, proposed limited development on one (1) side of the street, or other special conditions warrant a street of less than fifty (50) feet in width, a lesser width may be approved by the commission. When deemed necessary by the planning commission, temporary rights-of-way shall be provided for certain uses or locations, such as the provision of turnarounds on projected streets, such temporary rights-of-way shall revert to the abutting property owners when no longer required for its original purpose.
