46 Section IV- S- 3 -d -1.1 of the Subdivision Regulations - Best said this section referred to the definition of roads and where public roads will be required. He further stated that this was one of the first criteria for public roads. The existing ordinance provision reads as follows: 1. The subdivision roads, if constructed to State standards, would be accepted by the State for maintenance due to density or other State requirement. The following text was proposed as an addition to the above text and was presented at the May 16 public hearing: If the State standard not met is a design standard rather than a density standard (generally two units per one -tenth mile), a redesign should be required and will be required where possible; In his memo, Collins stated that a citizen reading the above text would probably not know what a design standard is and suggested the following alternate wording: IV- B -3 -d -1 1. The subdivision roads would be accepted for State maintenance if: a. They are to built in a manner which satisfies the minimum State design and construction criteria for sub- division roads; and b. They would satisfy other requirements for addition to the State maintenance system, including, but not limited to, the general density standard of at least two occupied residences for each one -tenth of a mile of subdivision road. If, upon review of a subdivision plat, it is determined that the general density standard is met, but a design standard is not, a re- design will be required where possible. For example, if the number of lots proposed along a subdivision road would clearly satisfy the density standard, but the road design was such that the centerline radius did not meet the minimum standard of 230 feet for level land, a new road design would be required. Another example is the situation where a landscaped island or entrance median prevents acceptance of the road for maintenance. 3
