Rules for building half streets in new subdivisions

A. Half streets may be permitted only when it is determined by the director that such half streets are essential to the reasonable development of a subdivision, and a reasonable probability exists for the future subdivision of the adjoining parcel or parcels. Half streets shall serve no more than twelve lots; provided, that the proposed subdivision is in conformance with all other provisions of this title. When parcels adjoining an existing half street are proposed to be subdivided, the director shall require that the remainder of the street be platted and constructed in such a manner as to provide a full street which meets all requirements of this ordinance. Reserve strips and street plugs may be required as necessary to preserve the objectives of half streets. B. Half streets shall have a minimum right-of-way width of twenty-four feet, and a minimum pavement width of eighteen feet. C. All half streets shall remain as private streets until the second halves are completed and improved to County standards. (Ord.
