Except as provided in this section, improvements for resort subdivision shall be as provided in this article 6, division 2, of this chapter. Upon submission of a resort subdivision application, the following standards shall apply. (a) Nondedicable Resort Street. A private street within the resort subdivision may be established upon approval by the director in consultation with the director of public works. Such streets shall be restricted to use only for lots within resort subdivisions. Divided roadways may include medial separations and elevation separations. Grades and curves of resort subdivision streets shall conform to section 23-50 or its successor statute. Pavement widths and minimum resort subdivision street rights-of-way shall be as specified in section 23-41(a) or its successor statute. Resort subdivision streets shall also conform to sections 23-43, 23-44, 23-45, 23-46, 23-48 or their successor statutes. (b) Sidewalks for resort subdivisions shall be required for safety of pedestrians. In considering the need for such sidewalks and the appropriate location of sidewalks, the director shall consider the following factors in addition to any other relevant factors: (1) Pedestrian circulation within the resort area; (2) Interaction of vehicular traffic to pedestrian traffic; (3) Interaction of pedestrian traffic with uses in the resort area and applicable adjacent area; and (4) Topography and slope of the area. If consistent with pedestrian safety and with the factors listed above, said sidewalks may be constructed along roadways or at other suitable locations to accommodate pedestrian traffic whether or not the sidewalks are adjacent to resort subdivision streets. (c) A private resort subdivision street meeting only the minimum requirements of this section shall not be dedicable. If a private resort subdivision street is offered for dedication after final subdivision approval, said street must meet all of the requirements for a dedicable street under this chapter applicable as of the date that the street is offered for dedication.
