Section 1. That Section 36-74.1 of the Salina Code is hereby amended to read as

"Section 36-74.1 Street design standards.
(a) Public streets. In order to provide for streets of suitable location,
width and improvement to accommodate prospective traffic and
afford satisfactory access to police, fire -fighting, snow removal,
sanitation and road -maintenance equipment, and to coordinate streets
so as to compose a convenient system and avoid undue hardships to
adjoining properties, the following design standards are hereby
required (see Table I). Street classification may be indicated on the
official street classification and/or major street plan; otherwise, it
shall be determined by the Planning Commission. These standards
may be modified on a showing that special conditions exist such as
drainage and utility requirements, safe and efficient traffic movement,
intersection design or emergency services access. Access control and
acceleration and deceleration lanes may be required to properly
handle traffic flow and to protect the carrying capacity of the street.
Public streets shall be constructed in accordance with city design
standards and specifications.

a public street;
b. The proposed private streets are not necessary to provide
direct traffic access to public streets from properties
located
outside the development;
C. The proposed private streets are so laid out or designed
so as to discourage through traffic; and
d. The proposed private streets will provide for adequate
access, the safe movement of traffic, proper drainage and
serve as an adequate alternative to a public street.
(2) A notation shall be placed on all plats of any subdivision in
which private streets are established stating that: "All
maintenance of the right-of-way and street surface shall be the
responsibility of the abutting property owner or owner's
association. No private street may be dedicated to or accepted
by the City of Salina for public street purposes until it is
brought into conformance with the minimum standards for
public streets of the city."
(3) When private streets are proposed, the developer shall submit
to the Planning Commission for approval a written and binding
declaration, to be recorded with the final plat establishing an
owner's association or similar legal entity which will have:
a. The legal authority to maintain and exercise control over
the street; and
b. The power to compel contributions from owners within
the development to cover their proportionate shares of
the cost associated with maintenance of the street.
(4) Private streets shall be designed so as to provide a minimum of
forty-five (45) feet of right-of-way and twenty-five (25) feet of
paved driving surface. Private cul-de-sacs shall be designed to
provide a minimum of twenty (20) feet of circular paved
driving surface with the outer edge of the pavement having a
minimum radius of thirty-five (35) feet within a right-of-way
having a minimum radius forty (40) feet. All private streets
shall conform to the design standards established by the City
Engineer which is herein adopted by reference as if set out at
length in this section.
(5) Street names shall be assigned by the developer, subject to
Planning Commission approval, by placing the name on the
plat. Names shall be sufficiently different in sound and
spelling so as not to cause conflict or confusion with existing
public or private streets. The city shall install street name
signs within the public right-of-way at the intersection of public
streets and private streets. Street name signs shall be installed
by the developer at all other intersections within the
development prior to issuance of any building permits. The
private street name signs shall be constructed, located and
installed in accordance with design standards established by the
City Engineer.
(6) All lots and tracts which have frontage on and take their
primary access from a named private street shall have an
address assigned off of that private street.
(7) For the purpose of this section, a "private street" shall mean
any open way used for vehicular traffic, not dedicated to the
public and not a shared driveway or part of a parking lot,
designed and used to provide vehicular access to two (2) or
I'. C. S5 ,

more lots or tracts.
(c) Railroads and limited access highways. Railroad rights-of-way and
limited access highways where located as to affect the subdivision of
adjoining lands shall be treated as follows:
(1) In residential districts a buffer strip at least twenty-five (25) feet
in depth in addition to the normal depth of the lot required in
the district shall be provided adjacent to the railroad right-of-
way or limited access highway. This strip shall be part of the
platted lots and shall be designated on the plat: "This strip is
reserved for screening. The placement of habitable structures
hereon is prohibited.
(2) Streets parallel to the railroad, when intersecting a street which
crosses the railroad at grade, shall be a distance of at least one
hundred fifty (150) feet from the railroad right-of-way. Such
distance shall be determined with due consideration of the
minimum distance required for future separation of grades by
means of appropriate approach gradients.
(d) Intersections:
(1) Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible
at right angles. A proposed intersection of two (2) new streets
shall have no angle less than seventy-five (75) degrees. An
oblique street shall be curved approaching an intersection and
be approximately at right angles for at least one hundred (100)
feet from the intersection. Not more than two (2) streets shall
intersect at any point unless specifically approved by the
Planning Commission.
(2) A proposed new intersection along one side of an existing
arterial street shall, wherever practicable, coincide with any
existing intersections on the opposite side of such street.
Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred
fifty(150)feet shall not be permitted on any class street, except
where the intersected street has separated dual drives without
median breaks at either intersection. Intersections of streets
along arterials shall be at least eight hundred (800) feet apart.=
Section 2. That the existing Section 36-74.1 of the Salina Code is hereby repealed.
