All public improvements required in conjunction with any land use development permitted under this title shall conform to the City ofRedmond's Public Works Standards &' Specifications, dated September 1995, which document is incorporated herein by this reference. 2. The street system for any land use development, including manufactured home parks, shall also conform to the following design parameters: a. It is the standard in the Redmond Urban Area to develop through public streets at a spacing of approximately 660 feet. The purpose is to provide a street grid pattern of through streets to facilitate traffic movement. Street designs shall conform to this policy with allowances for variance to conform to this policy with other existing natural and man-made conditions. Illustrative examples of other conditions include the dry canyon, main COI canal, Highway 97, and the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks. b. In general, a street network is comprised of streets classified from lower order (local) to higher order (arterials). The spacing of a proper grid pattern has principal arterials (Hwys. 97 and 126) spaced at two miles or greater, minorarterials at one mile, collectors at 0.25 - 0.50 mile, and local streets at 660 feet. It is the Redmond Urban Area standard to adhere to this grid spacing as topography and other existing natural and man-made conditions allow. C. All proposed streets, alleys and pedestrian pathways shall connect to other streets within a development and to existing and planned streets outside the development. Streets should serve parks, schools or other public lands within a neighborhood. Local streets shall align and connect with other streets when crossing collectors and arterials. d. New local streets should connect with existing local streets and collectors and in certain special cases with arterial streets. Cul-de-sac streets shall be permitted only where no feasible connection with an adjacent street exists, or if the local street connection would be to a higher order street (arterial) and the 0167-2161 function of that higher order street might be diminished. If cul-de-sac streets represent more than 10 percent of the total lane miles in a development, thesubdivider shall be required to demonstrate that alternative internal circulation layouts (minimizing cul-de-sacs) are infeasible. B. Interpretation in Conjunction with the Subdivision Ordinance. 1. The provisions of the City of Redmond's Public Works Standards & Specifications referenced herein shall be the design standards for subdivision and partition approval. Subject areas not covered by the Public Works Standards & Specifications shall continue to be covered by applicable provisions of the subdivision and partition ordinance. 2. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of subsection A.2 of this section and applicable provisions of the subdivision and partition ordinance are meant to be construed in concert with each other to the maximum extent practicable. The provisions of subsection A.2 of this section shall be interpreted as being a specific refinement of general requirements regarding subdivision layout in the subdivision ordinance. Where the provisions of this section specify more frequent street connections and smaller block sizes than is set forth in the subdivision and partition ordinance, the provisions of this section shall prevail.
