(1) The location of all public streets and roads shall conform to the official street plan adopted or in preparation by the city.

(2) There shall be no private streets allowed in any subdivision within the city of Selah, with the exception of a private street permitted through the city's past or present planned development ordinance, Chapter 10.24.

(3) The proposed public street system shall extend existing public streets at the same or greater width, but in no case less than the required minimum set forth in the street standards of the City of Selah Design, Construction Standards, and Specifications Manual for Public Works Improvements as adopted in Section 13.01.010.

(4) Streets intersecting with existing or proposed public highways and major arterials shall be held to a minimum.

(5) Grades on arterial streets shall not exceed twelve percent.

(6) Where a deflection angle of more than ten degrees in the alignment of a street occurs, a curve of reasonably long radius shall be introduced, subject to review and approval of the city engineer. On streets sixty feet or more in width, the centerline radius of curvature shall not be less than three hundred feet; on other streets not less than one hundred feet.

(7) All public streets shall be platted at full width, and no public boundary streets at less than full width shall be allowed unless required to provide right-of-way for streets and arterials designated by the official plans of the city.

(8) The city may require that street width in commercial or industrial areas be increased to provide for traffic movement and to reduce or eliminate traffic congestion. The city may require a traffic study to be prepared/paid for by the developer.

(9) Cul-de-sacs are permitted provided they do not exceed six hundred feet measured from the center of the turn-around to the nearest connecting street intersection. They shall neither have a street right-of-way width less than fifty feet nor a cul-de-sac right-of-way radius less than fifty-two and one-half feet. Industrial and commercial cul-de-sacs shall have the width and radius determined by the public works director.

(10) All changes in grade shall be connected by vertical curves of a minimum length of one hundred feet unless specified otherwise by the public works director, and shall meet the requirements of Chapter 7 of the City of Selah Design, Construction Standards, and Specifications Manual for Public Works Improvements as adopted in Section 13.01.010.

(11) A tangent of at least two hundred feet in length shall be provided between reverse curves for major arterials; one hundred fifty feet for neighborhood collector streets; and one hundred feet for residential access streets, and shall meet the requirements of Chapter 7 of the City of Selah Design, Construction Standards, and Specifications Manual for Public Works Improvements as adopted in Section 13.01.010.

(12) Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than two hundred feet shall not be allowed.

(13) Each subdivision of fifteen lots or more shall have at least two points of connection with the public street system, except for those subdivisions in which the only dedicated street is a cul-de-sac.

(14) Streets shall intersect at right angles as near as possible.
