SECTION 500.050: PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED STREET ─ MINIMUM SPECIFICATIONS
All persons wishing to have streets accepted by the City of Lake Ozark shall submit their request to the Board of Aldermen for consideration. All requests must meet the minimum standards outlined herein.
Streets and Alleys.
.1. Relationship to adjoining street systems. The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provisions for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining additions (or their proper projection where adjoining property is not subdivided) insofar as they may be necessary for public requirements. The width of such street rights-of-way in new subdivisions shall be not less than the minimum street widths established herein. Alleys, when required, and street arrangement must cause no hardship to owners of adjoining property when they plat their land and seek to provide for convenient access to it. Whenever there exists a dedicated or platted half street or alley adjacent to the tract to be subdivided, the other one-half (½) of the street or alley shall be platted and dedicated as a public way.
.2. Street names. Streets that are obviously in alignment with other already existing and named streets shall bear the names of the existing streets. Street names should not be similar to already platted street names. Streets and house numbers shall be numbered in accordance with the adopted house numbering policy of the City.
.3. Arterial streets. Arterial streets through subdivisions shall conform to the major street plan of the Comprehensive Plan as adopted by the Planning Commission and the Governing Body.
.4. Local streets. Local streets should be designed so as to discourage through or non-local traffic.
.5. Cul-de-sacs. An adequate turnaround of not less than a one hundred (100) foot diameter right-of-way shall be provided at the closed end of a dead-end local street longer than one (1) lot in length. Such local street segment should not exceed six hundred (600) feet in length from the centerline of an intersection of a cross street to the center of the cul-de-sac but may be longer based on the density of platted lots as approved by the Planning Commission upon the recommendations of the City Engineer.
.6. Right-angle intersections. Under normal conditions, streets shall be laid out to intersect, as nearly as possible, at right angles. Where topography or other conditions justify a variation from the right angle intersection, the minimum angle shall be sixty degrees (60°).
.7. Streets adjacent to a railroad right-of-way, principal highway or arterial street. Where lots front or side but do not back on railroad rights-of-way, limited access freeways or principal highways or arterial streets, a marginal access street or frontage road may be required parallel and adjacent to the boundary of such rights-of-way. The distance from said rights-of-way shall be determined with due consideration to minimum distance required for approach connections to future grade-separated intersections.
.8. Half-streets. The dedication of one-half (½) of a right-of-way (half-streets) shall be prohibited except where no lots front on such half-street.
.9. Alleys. Alleys may be required in commercial, industrial and residential areas. Dead-end alleys shall be avoided, whenever possible, but if unavoidable, such alleys shall be provided with adequate turnaround facilities at the dead end. Alleys should be avoided in residential areas except where alleys of adjoining subdivisions would be closed or shut off by failing to provide alleys in the adjoining subdivision.
.10. Minimum requirements. The right-of-way grades and widths for streets and alleys, in order to be dedicated and accepted, shall conform to the designation in the Comprehensive Plan and shall not be less than the minimum for each classification as follows:
MinimumRight-of-Way Width / Street Width* / Maximum Grade
Major Streets:
Arterial
Collectors / 80 feet
60 feet / 36 feet
30 feet / 8%
12%
Local Streets:
Residential
Industrial and
Commercial / 40 feet
60 feet / 24 feet
30 feet / 15─20%
6%
Cul-de-sacs / 100 feet diameter / 80 feet
*Street widths are measured from the back of curb to the back of curb.
When existing or anticipated traffic on arterial and collector streets warrants greater widths of rights-of-way, the additional width shall be dedicated. The minimum gradient on any street shall be five-tenths percent (0.50%), unless impractical, in which case the absolute minimum gradient shall be no less than thirty-two hundredths percent (0.32%). Street widths are measured from the back of the curb to the back of the curb.
The paved surface of the road shall be constructed as follows:
- A thickness of four (4) inches of rock base (rolled).
- Three (3) inch thickness of fine finish grade of rock.
- A three (3) inch base coat of asphaltic concrete.
- A one (1) inch cap or finish coat.
The curb and gutter shall be constructed as follows:
- The width of the curb and gutter shall be twenty-four (24) inches.
- The width of the curb shall be six (6) inches.
