A. Design: The length, width and shape of blocks shall be determined with due regard to the following:

1. Provisions for adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the types of uses contemplated.

2. Needs for convenient access, circulation, control and safety of the street traffic.

B. Width: Blocks shall have sufficient width to provide for two (2) tiers of lots of appropriate depths. Exceptions to this prescribed block standard shall be permitted when deemed appropriate by the town. Blocks adjacent to arterials, major collectors, watercourses, or steep slopes are examples where exceptions might be appropriate.

C. Reservation Of Easements: In long blocks, the town may require the reservation of easements through the block to accommodate utilities, drainage facilities, pedestrian or bicycle traffic. Such easements shall not be less than fifteen feet (15') wide and shall be improved by the subdivider and dedicated to the town.

D. Industrial Or Commercial Uses: Blocks designed for industrial or commercial uses shall be of such length and width as determined suitable by the town for the proposed uses. (Ord. 23, Series 1992)
