17.32.110 Streets.
1. Street layouts shall conform to Lindon City’s street master plan map adopted as part of the general plan by the planning commission and city council.
a. The planning commission may approve a street alignment that varies from the general plan and street master plan map but still accomplishes the street connectivity requirements. To remove an identified street from a subdivision, an amendment to the general plan and street master plan map shall be applied for and approved by the city council with a recommendation from the planning commission.
b. A land use application which does not require a subdivision approval, but which still requires approval of a street design and/or construction as part of the application process under Chapter 17.17, shall likewise have a street layout that conforms to the Lindon City general plan and official Lindon City street master plan map, subject to the provisions of layout that conforms to the Lindon City general plan and official Lindon City street master plan map, subject to the provisions of Subsection 17.32.110(1)(a) above.
2. Local streets shall be laid out to discourage through traffic.
3. Stub streets shall be provided where needed to connect to adjacent undeveloped land and new streets must be provided where needed to connect to existing stub streets in adjacent subdivisions.
4. Intersections of local streets with arterial streets shall be kept to a minimum.
5. Minimum right-of-way widths for public streets shall be adopted by the city council for various categories of streets, but shall in no case be less than the following:
a. Arterial street, eighty-two feet (82');
b. Collector and local commercial street, sixty-six feet (66');
c. Local residential street, fifty feet (50').
6. Public streets shall have pavement roadway widths as approved by the city council, but shall in no case be less than those adopted in the Lindon City Land Development Policies, Standard Specifications and Drawings Manual.
a. The Lindon City standard street cross sections per the Lindon City Policies, Standard Specifications and Drawings Manual may be amended, changed, altered, and/or revised by the Lindon city council after a public hearing and adoption. Before such time as the city council amends, revises, alters, or changes the above-mentioned cross sections, they shall receive a recommendation from the development review committee (DRC).
b. No partial width streets are permitted, except if required to complete a partial width street already existing or unless the city council, after review by the planning commission, determines a partial width street is necessary to resolve problems with future road alignments of streets and/or intersections, or future development.
c. Stub streets shall be permitted or required by the planning commission only to provide future road access to adjoining property where such access would serve as a future second access. The planning commission and city council shall determine if stubbed streets, existing or proposed, have through access to planned future or existing public streets before such streets shall be extended or approved for construction.
7. Permanent cul-de-sac streets serving no more than fourteen (14) lots, and not more than six hundred fifty feet (650') long, whichever is more restrictive, may be permitted and shall be provided with a right-of-way at the turnaround of fifty-foot (50') radius or more.
8. No more than four (4) streets shall enter an intersection.
9. Streets shall intersect at ninety (90) degrees, except where otherwise approved as necessary by the planning commission.
10. The centerline of two (2) subordinate streets meeting a through street from opposite sides shall extend as a continuous line, or the centerline shall be offset at least one hundred fifty feet (150').
a. The city engineer may grant a variance to the above standards upon findings that such a variance will not be contrary to the safety of vehicular or other forms of transportation. For instance, if the centerline offset is less than one hundred fifty feet (150') and will not result in increased conflict zones for left-turning vehicles from the major street onto the subordinate streets, a variance may be granted. Notwithstanding this subsection, a continuous centerline or offset of one hundred fifty feet (150') are the preferred standards.
