ARTICLE V
SITE DESIGN CRITERIA
SECTION 21-52 - VEHICLE/PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION REQUIREMENTS
21-52.05 - Street Design Standards
a. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all new and
improved streets shall conform to the adopted Comprehensive Plan now in
existence or as may hereafter be adopted and shall be considered in their relation
to existing and planned streets, to topographical conditions, to public convenience
and safety and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be
served by such streets.
Where such is not shown in the Comprehensive Plan now in existence or as may
hereafter be adopted, the arrangement of streets in a subdivision shall either:
1. Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing major streets
in surrounding areas, or
2. Conform to a plan for the neighborhood or be aligned to meet a particular
situation where topographical or other conditions make continuance or
conformance to existing streets impractical.
b. All new streets to be established within a subdivision shall meet the following
minimum design standards.
1. Local streets. Local streets shall be laid out so that use by through traffic will
be_discouraged.
2. Subdivisions on arterial streets. Where a subdivision abuts or contains an
existing or proposed arterial street, the subdivider shall provide reverse
frontage lots with a planting screen contained in a non-access reservation
along the rear property lines or such other treatment as may be necessary for
adequate protection of residential properties and to afford separation of
through and local traffic.
3. Intersection designs. Streets shall be laid out and aligned to intersect as nearly
as possible at right angles and no street shall intersect at less than sixty (60)
degrees. Street jogs and intersections with centerline offsets of less than one
hundred fifty feet (150') shall be prohibited. Multiple intersections involving
the juncture of more than two (2) streets shall be prohibited. A minimum
sight distance of two hundred feet (200') from any intersection shall be
maintained on intersecting streets; however, this requirement shall not be
construed as requiring an increase in the minimum allowable intersection
separation of one hundred fifty feet (150').
4. Proposed streets shall be designed to provide access to adjoining unsubdivided
tracts at logical locations for future subdivisions.
5. A minimum of two points of access shall be provided into each subdivision of
twenty-five (25) lots or more. Where adjoining existing development and
code requirements preclude the development of two public street access
points, an unobstructed driveable access way may be substituted.
6. Right-of-way line intersections shall be rounded with a minimum radius of
twenty-five feet (25'). A greater radius may be required on collector or
arterial roads, or where road construction details require.
7. Minimum street design specifications. All streets to be established in a
subdivision shall be graded to their full required right-of-way width and
designed in accordance with the following minimum right-of-way
specifications:
Arterial
Collector
Local
150 ft.
1 00 ft.
60 ft. (open drainage)
50 ft. (curb and
gutter)
8. Cul-de-sac. All cul-de-sacs shall comply with the requirements contained in
the Standard Construction Details.
9. Street access to adjoining property. Street stubs to adjoining unplatted areas
shall be provided when required to give access to such areas or to provide for
proper traffic circulation. Street stubs in excess of two hundred fifty feet
(250') shall be provided with a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround. The
developer of the adjoining area shall pay the cost of restoring the street to its
original design cross-section and extending the street.
10. Street names. Street names shall not be used which will duplicate, be
phonetically similar or be confused with the names of existing or other
proposed streets, except that new streets which are an extension or in
alignment with existing streets shall bear the same name as that borne by such
existing streets. All courts and circles shall have one name only. All street
names shall be submitted with the preliminary plat to the County of Volusia
prior to final plat approval for 911 verification.
11. Street name signs, pavement markings and regulatory signs. Required signs
shall be in place prior to acceptance by the City. All signing and pavement
markings shall be in accordance with "USDOT Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices". All pavement markings shall be thermoplast. Street name
signs shall be a minimum of six inches (6") in height with letters four inches
(4") in height. At cross-section intersections, two (2) street signposts shall be
located diagonally across the intersection from each other. Only one street
signpost shall be required at T -street intersections. Thirty inch (30") "STOP"
signs shall be required at each street intersection unless otherwise approved or
required by the TRC.
c. Construction
Basic construction requirements for roads are as follows:
1. Residential roadway pavement shall consist of 1-1/4 inches of compacted
Type S- I asphalt over an eight inch (8") soil cement or limerock base, over an
eight inch (8") compacted subbase. Alternative concrete pavements may be
approved.
2. Commercial roadway pavement shall consist of two inches (2") of compacted
Type S- I or S- III asphalt, over an eight (8") compacted limerock or six inch
(6") compacted soil cement base over a twelve inch (12") compacted
shellrock stabilized subbase.
3. All new roads shall have concrete curbs. Miami curbs are required on local
streets with vertical curbs for enclosed drainage on major collector and arterial
roads.
4. The remainder of the right-of-way shall be cleared, graded and sodded.
5. Signs for street identification and traffic control shall be installed by the City
at the developer's expense. Signs shall be based on the requirements of the
Federal Highway Administration Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices,
current edition or other City specifications.
d. Alleys. In single-family residential districts alleys shall be discouraged, but may
be required in other than residential districts to provide for proper traffic
circulation. When provided in any district, alleys shall have a minimum right-of-
way width of thirty feet (30').
e. Easements. Easements for utilities, including water, wastewater, electric, cable,
telephone and gas and drainage easements, shall be provided as follows:
1. Utilities. Utility easements centered on side or rear lot lines shall be provided
where deemed necessary and shall be at least fifteen feet (15') in width.
Additional width may be required for wastewater and/or drainage easements.
Side lot line easements may be decreased to ten feet (10') in width when
serving a single electric or telephone utility.
2. Drainage. Where a proposed subdivision is transversed (traversed) by or
abuts a watercourse, drainage way or stream, a conservation and stormwater
easement or drainage way, canal or stream and such further width or
construction or both as will be adequate for the purpose shall be provided.
Where a drainage way or canal exists or is proposed, a maintenance easement
approved by the City shall be provided.
3. Access waterways. Waterways which are constructed or improved for the
purpose of providing access by the water to lots within a subdivision shall
have a minimum easement or right-of-way width of one hundred feet (100'),
except where adequate shoreline protection is provided, the minimum right-
of-way may be reduced to sixty feet (60').
f. Truffle .-1l1fJ!)"sis .^. traffic analysis is required for any ne'.N
development/redevelopment project that may prod:lce 500 or more new average
duily trips. The unul)'~;i~; shull pnwide turning mo\'cment~;, trip distribution anti

g. Turn lanes - A left turn lane shall be provided at each access point with an
average daily trip end of 1,000 vehicles and/or more than 25 peak hour left turn
movements. A right turn/deceleration lane shall be provided when the posted
speed limit equals or exceeds 35 miles per hour or if the proposed development
will generate 100 or more peak hour right turn movements. Turn lane
