Roads - Public roads are generally required in <br />all subdivisions and will be required where it <br />is found that: <br />1. The subdivision roads, if constructed to <br />State standards, would be accepted by the <br />State for maintenance due to density or <br />other State requirement; or <br />(A subdivision road must provide ingress and <br />egress for at least 2 occupied residences <br />per 1 /10 of a mile [528 ft.] before it may be <br />accepted by the State for maintenance. The <br />cul -de -sac, Habitat Circle, must access a <br />minimum of four houses to qualify for State <br />maintenance, if the road is built to State <br />standards. When a total of 15 lots which <br />access Gemena Road are developed, the <br />minimum required density for that road will <br />be met. Currently 7 lots are developed which <br />have access to Gemena Road.) <br />2. The subdivision streets extend existing <br />streets which are public; or <br />(The subdivision road extends an existing <br />street.which was offered for public <br />dedication in 1988, when the final plat for <br />Phase 2 was recorded. The road will not <br />become "public" until the right -of -way is <br />formally accepted by the State or by the <br />County for public use.) <br />
