Sec. 32. Street design generally.
Any owner of land, subdivider, his or their engineer, land
planner or any other person making a street layout for any
parcel of land or subdivision shall design the street layout in
accordance with the following design standards:

mendations made by the city engineer and/or director

one point shall be avoided except where it is impracti-
cal to secure a proper street system otherwise. Where
several streets converge at one point, setback lines,
special rounding or cutoff of corners and/or a traffic
circle may be required to insure safety and facility of
traffic movement. No main thoroughfare or collector
street shall intersect any other thoroughfare or collec-
tor street at an angle of less than sixty (60) degrees.

thoroughfare or collector street at an angle of less than
sixty (60) degrees, or another minor residential street
at an angle of less than thirty (30) degrees.

mitted. Major thoroughfares may have a minimum ra-
dius at the center line of the street of ninteen hundred
twenty (1,920) feet. Collector streets may have a
minimum radius at the center line of the street of nine
hundred fifty-five (955) feet. Minor residential streets
may have a minimum radius of five hundred (500)
feet. In special circumstances, the city planning com-
mission and the city council may approve of shorter
radii on minor residential streets where the circum-
stances justify such action.

a maximum grade of five (5) per cent unless the
