(c) Deadend or stubbed streets. Where a street is extended to the edge of the subdivision and is intended to be continued to serve future subdivisions, a one-foot reserve strip shall be offered for dedication for future street purposes. A paved 50-foot radius turnaround shall be provided when determined by the planning commission to be necessary for the movement of emergency vehicles.

(d) Partial width streets. Where a partial width street is required at the edge of a subdivision, the width of such street shall not be less than 40 feet. The traveled way shall not be less than 28 feet. A one-foot reserve strip will be provided for and shall be offered for dedication to the city.

In cases where straight line continuations are not physically possible, such centerlines shall be continued by curves. In cases where such streets cannot be continued or aligned, a minimum distance of 150 feet between the centerlines shall be maintained.

(i) Street grades. No street shall have a grade of more than seven percent or less than one-tenth percent.
