New subdivisions, insofar as possible, shall conform to the Board's established Official Map. B. Relation to adjoining street system. The arrangement of streets in a new subdivision shall, in general, provide for the continuation of the principal existing streets in the adjoining allotment or their proper projection when adjoining property is not subdivided. In general, such streets shall be at least 50 feet wide. Greater width may be required for certain streets which are expected to be used as principal streets. In addition, 10 feet must be added on each side of any street designed or zoned for business. Names of streets must be indicated and must be approved by the Board of Trustees. C. Streets deflecting within the block. In general, street lines within any block deflecting from each other at only one point more than 10 degrees shall be connected with a curve, the radius of which for the inner street line shall not be less than 350 feet. The outer street line shall be parallel to such inner street line. Reverse curves must be connected by tangents wherever possible. Visibility on curved streets must be maintained for a distance of 300 feet at the center line of the street by suitable setback restrictions. D. Corner curves. Street-line corner curves shall be provided which have a minimum radius of 20 feet. E. Dead-end streets. Except where future continuation is impossible, dead-end streets shall not be approved unless a turnaround roadway with a minimum radius for the outside curb of 30 feet is provided at the closed end. Such dead-end streets shall not be longer than 500 feet. F. Grades. Streets shall be so arranged that grades shall not exceed 10%. The minimum grades shall not be less than 1%. A variation from these requirements may be made to meet the existing conditions of exceptional topography, if approved by the Planning Board. G. Block lengths. Intersecting streets shall be laid out at such intervals that block lengths between street lines are not more than 700 feet, except where existing conditions justify a variation from this requirement, in which case an adequate pedestrian easement shall be provided near the center of the block. H. Block widths. The widths of blocks shall generally be not less than 180 feet nor more than 400 feet. I. Tree planting. Shade trees shall be planted on each side of each street, between the sidewalk and the property line, at maximum intervals of 50 feet, the species and location of which are to be approved by the Planning Board in consultation with the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works and pursuant to the guidelines of Ch. 208 Street/Public Trees. The maximum possible number of existing trees should be preserved. J. Approval of street layouts. The layout of streets, roads and/or other ways and/or the design, arrangement, etc., of any and all features pertaining thereto, including the planting of trees, shrubs, bushes and/or other vegetation and/or the placing of any other objects, decorative or otherwise, in sidewalk and lawn spaces or elsewhere in connection with said streets shall be 1.
