Anne Arundel County                             2525

(1)    Highways: coordination with the State Roads Commission will
be necessary where existing or proposed State roads are involved and
greater right-of-way widths may be required.

(2)    County Roads: in cases where the General Development Plan
specifies a greater width, a wider right-of-way may be required by the
Office of Planning and Zoning to handle anticipated traffic or to allow for
special construction problems or traffic situations upon recommendations of
the Department of Public Works. Due to the diversity of development
in the County, ranging from sparsely populated agricultural areas to
densely populated areas, required pavement widths will necessarily vary
with the character of building development and the amount of traffic
encountered. Pavement width shall be as designated in the Anne Arundel
County Design Manual.

(3)    Proposed Rights-of-Way: where a proposed street or road is
designated on the General Development Plan or Capital Improvement
Program, and no definite alignment has been established, the Office of
Planning and Zoning may withhold approval for not more than ninety
(90) days to permit accurate road alignment to be established.

Section 13-107.2 LAYOUT

(a)    The subdivider shall provide in a proposed subdivision any part
of a street so designated on the General Development Plan, such part of
said street shall be platted by the subdivider in the location and at the
right-of-way width indicated on the General Development Plan. When a
larger right-of-way is required, paving is to be installed by the developer
within the development for the minimum classification of the function
to be served.

(b)    The street system layout shall be continuous in alignment and
grade with existing streets, planned or platted, with which they are to
connect.

(c)    Rights-of-way for proposed streets shall be extended to the
boundary lines of the proposed subdivision so that a connection can be
made to all adjacent properties unless such extension is not feasible because
of topography of OR other physical conditions, or unless, in the opinion
of the Planning and Zoning Officer, such extension is not necessary or
desirable for the coordination with existing streets or the most advan-
tageous development of adjacent tracts. IN ANY EVENT, NO SUB-
DIVISION SHALL BE DESIGNED SO AS TO CREATE OR PERPETU-
ATE THE LANDLOCKING OF ADJACENT UNDEVELOPED LAND.

(d)    Dead-end streets are prohibited except to permit future exten-
sions to adjoining tracts. Where necessitated by topography, or where they
are appropriate for the type of development contemplated and they are
of reasonable length, they shall be designed as cul-de-sacs.

(e)    Wherever there exists adjoining the tract to be subdivided a
dedicated or platted and recorded half-width or partial highway, street,
or road, the remaining width shall be platted with such tract. New half
or partial highways, streets or roads will not be permitted except where
essential to the reasonable subdivision of a tract in conformance with
the other requirements and standards contained herein and where, in
addition, satisfactory assurance for dedication of the remaining part of
the highway, street or road can be secured.
