for residential access roads, half street improvements including, but not limited to 13 feet of paving from centerline, curb and gutter, an 8 foot planter strip, a 5 foot sidewalk,
and storm drainage improvements are required to be constructed in the right of way fronting the site per City code 4-6-060. City code requires street improvements along all frontages.
