A. The Town of Parachute Manual of Public Works Improvements, adopted as a separate regulation and as amended from time to time, contains the minimum street requirements for all subdivisions, except where unusual topography, size or shape of property or other exceptional situation or condition may warrant variance from such requirements.

B. The latest edition of the Colorado Department of Transportation “Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction” controls construction, except where specifically revised by the Town of Parachute Manual of Public Works Improvements, adopted as a separate regulation and as amended from time to time.

C. All streets shall be designed in relation to existing and planned streets, topographical conditions, public convenience and safety and the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets.

D. Certain proposed streets, where appropriate, shall be extended to the boundary of the tract to be subdivided so as to provide for future connection to adjacent undeveloped land.

E. Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing or proposed primary street or highway, the Town Council may require, after Planning Commission review, service streets, reverse frontage lots with screen planting in a reservation strip along the rear property line, deep lots with rear service alleys abutting the primary street or highway, or such other treatment as may be necessary for adequate protection of residential properties and for separation of through and local traffic.

F. Where a subdivision borders on or contains a railroad right-of-way or limited access highway right-of-way, the Town Council, after Planning Commission review, may require a street approximately parallel to and on each side of such right-of-way, at a distance suitable for the appropriate use of the intervening land. Such distance shall be determined with due regard for the requirements of approach grades and future grade separations.

G. No more than two (2) streets shall intersect at one (1) point.

H. Streets shall have the names of existing streets which are in alignment in the Town or in adjoining unincorporated Garfield County. There shall be no duplication of street names. (Ord. 711 §1 (Exh. A), 2017; Amended Ord. 757 §2, 2019)
