§ 5.7. Street features.

1.

Signs. The developer shall install street name signs, traffic control signs and any other signs as specified by the city.

Signs for street names, directions of travel, traffic control, and hazards shall be provided as directed by the building inspector. Street signs on exterior or boundary streets shall be installed by the city with the developer paying a proportionate share determined by the city. Street signs for interior streets of a subdivision or land development shall be installed at the subdivider or developer's expense by the subdivider or developer, subject to the approval of the building inspector.

2.

Mailboxes. The developer shall coordinate the lot addressing system with the Murray County Building Inspector.

3.

Sidewalks. All residential subdivisions shall be developed with sidewalks. Sidewalks within commercial subdivisions may be required at the discretion of the planning commission, which shall be influenced by reasonable proximity to existing or proposed residential developments that can benefit from the connectivity.

a.

Location. Sidewalks shall be included within the dedicated non-pavement right-of-way of roads and shall parallel the street pavement as much as possible; however, the city may permit sidewalks to be designed and constructed so that they meander around permanent obstructions or deviate from a linear pattern for design purposes.

b.

Specifications. Sidewalks shall be a minimum of four feet wide. A strip of grassed or landscaped areas at least two feet wide shall separate all sidewalks from the back of curbs in residential areas.

4.

Street lights. All residential subdivision street lighting shall be installed meeting specifications adopted by the city relative to height, spacing, and intensity of lights.

a.

Type. The light source shall be metal halide. Equivalent substitution may be allowed at the discretion of the building inspector.

b.

Height/spacing. Collector roads shall have light poles at 30-foot maximum to the top of the light fixture/post assembly. Local roads shall have light poles at 18-foot maximum height to the top of the fixture/post assembly. Spacing distances shall be determined in consultation with the power company providing service to the subdivision.

c.

Intensity. The following table 5-3 sets forth minimum illumination intensity requirements by street type:
