2526                               Municipal Charters

(f)    Land dedicated or reserved for street widening shall not be
counted in satisfying the minimum yard or minimum lot area requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance, but LAND DEDICATED OR RESERVED FOR
COUNTY STREET WIDENING may be counted in computing the overall
gross density under the Zoning Ordinance.

(g)    Appropriate rights-of-way shall be provided as necessary where
lots in the proposed subdivision are large enough to permit resubdivision
or if a portion of the tract is not subdivided. The above will not apply
where recorded restrictions are placed on resubdivision of the reserved
parcel.

(h) Reserve strips controlling access are prohibited except when
required for traffic safety reasons. When reserve strips are used, deed
covenants or other means shall be prepared and recorded to prevent
residential driveways from having direct access to the street or highway
that is involved.

(i) Street and subdivision names shall be approved by the Office
of Planning and Zoning. Such names shall not duplicate those elsewhere
in Anne Arundel County.

(j) The street system layout shall be so designed INSOFAR AS
PRACTICABLE to preserve natural features such as trees, brooks, hill-
tops, scenic views and other such features.

(k) Street system layout shall provide for the acceptable disposal
of storm water and provision shall be made by the developer to handle
storm water to comply with provisions elsewhere in these regulations and
in the Design Manual.

(1) Cul-de-sac streets permanently designed as such shall not exceed
six hundred (600) feet in length. Downhill cul-de-sacs shall be avoided.
CUL-DE-SAC STREETS PERMANENTLY DESIGNED AS SUCH ARE
GENERALLY NOT TO EXCEED SIX HUNDRED (600) FEET; HOW-
EVER, CUL-DE-SAC STREETS NOT EXCEEDING ONE THOUSAND
(1000) FEET MAY BE PERMITTED WHERE THE TOPOGRAPHY OR
SHAPE OF THE SUBDIVISION PARCEL MAY NECESSITATE A
LONGER EXTENSION. DOWNHILL CUL-DE-SACS ARE TO BE
AVOIDED.

(m) Cul-de-sac streets shall be provided at the closed end with a
paved turnaround in accordance with the provisions of these regulations
and the Design Manual.

(n) Unless extension is clearly impractical or undesirable, a right-
of-way of the same width as the street shall be carried to the property
line in such a way as to permit future extension of the street into the
adjoining tract. Such right-of-way shall include a temporary turnaround
until the street is extended.

(o) Where a subdivision plan includes only part of the tract owned
by the developer, a sketch plan layout of proposed streets and roads
for the entire tract shall be submitted.

(p) Where necessary, perpetual unobstructed UNOBSTRUCTED
easements at least ten (10) feet in width shall be provided to facilitate
pedestrian walkways to commercial facilities, community recreational
areas, schools, or other nearby streets WHERE EXISTING ACCESS IS
INADEQUATE.
