§ 2. Alleys.  


Latest version.
  • 2.[1]

    Alleys may be required in commercial and industrial districts. The planning commission shall refer any variations to the village board for waiving this requirement if provisions are made for service access such as off-street loading, unloading, and parking, consistent with and adequate for the uses proposed.

    2.2

    Alleys shall be prohibited in residential areas except where topographic or other conditions may necessitate their use.

    2.3

    The minimum right-of-way width of an alley, if necessary and if provided, shall be 20 feet.

    2.4

    Alley intersections and sharp changes in alignment shall be avoided, but where necessary, corners shall be cut off sufficiently to permit safe vehicular movement.

    2.5

    Dead-end alleys shall be avoided where possible, but if unavoidable, shall be provided with adequate turnaround facilities at the dead end, as determined by the planning commission.
