Editor's Note: The definition of "arterial street," which immediately preceded this definition, was repealed at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I). See now the definition of "major street" below.
This 2007 Subdivision Ordinance, as hereafter amended, shall apply to all subdivisions of land as defined in § 210-1 hereof within the corporate limits of the Village of Sidney, Illinois, and subdivisions located outside of the Village's corporate limits but within 1 1/2 miles of the Village corporate limits after the effective date of this chapter, and all such subdivisions must comply with the requirements of this chapter.
Location of streets and walks.
Each lot or parcel of ground within a new subdivision shall be adjacent to a public street.
The street system in each new subdivision shall continue and extend existing connecting streets in adjoining subdivisions, except minor streets across a major intervening street where such continuation or extension is not necessary to protect the interests of the public.
The street system in each subdivision shall be extended and dedicated to any adjacent unsubdivided property except in those instances in which the adjacent property is not capable of being subdivided.
No street shall be located less than 310 feet nor more than 1,000 feet from any parallel street measured at the center line of the streets, except in those instances in which the topography of the land being subdivided or the physical situation of that land, in the opinion of the Sidney Village Engineer, makes such a street arrangement impractical.
Whenever two parallel streets are located more than 750 feet apart, a public walk having a right-of-way of not less than 10 feet in width shall be provided for pedestrian travel to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, and other community facilities. Each such public walk shall be located approximately equidistant between the two public streets.
No private streets are permitted.
Sidewalks shall be constructed on both sides of every street and shall run to the back of curb at each corner lot.
All sidewalks along streets shall be installed in public rights-of-way. The back of the sidewalk shall be approximately one foot inside the right-of-way line unless, for good cause, a variance in location is approved by the Village Board.

Editor's Note: Exhibit A is on file in the Village offices.
Major streets, which are those streets used primarily for through traffic, including those designated as such by the corporate authorities of the Village of Sidney, shall conform to the specifications shown in the current Highway Standards and/or Design Manual, both published by the Illinois Department of Transportation, and as the same may be hereafter amended, but under no condition will the right-of-way be less than 80 feet. These current Highway Standards and Design Manual and any revisions or amendments which may from time to time be made are hereby adopted and made part of this section to the same extent and with the same legal effect as if fully set forth herein.
All other streets, including those designated by the corporate authorities of the Village of Sidney as secondary or non-major streets, shall be platted to a width of not less than 60 feet.
Whenever a street in a new subdivision is a continuation of an existing street in an adjoining subdivision and the right-of-way of the existing street is less than the applicable width prescribed in Subsection B(2), then these new regulations shall apply.
Whenever a street in a new subdivision is a permanent street and is not and cannot be continued to another street, the street shall be considered and treated as a cul-de-sac.
In each instance in which the subdivider owns the land on both sides of a proposed street, the entire right-of-way for the street shall be dedicated by the subdivider.
When a new subdivision adjoins a dedicated half-street in an existing subdivision, the subdivider shall dedicate the remainder of the street.
In those instances in which the owner or owners of a new subdivision own the land on only one side of an existing street, the right-of-way of which is narrower than that required by Subsection B(2), the subdivider shall dedicate additional right-of-way of sufficient width to make that portion of the right-of-way lying between the center line of the existing right-of-way and the outside edge of the additional right-of-way at least equal to one-half the required right-of-way width.
Major streets shall be designed with curves having a center-line radius of not less than 500 feet, except where a lesser radius is deemed safe and adequate to serve the public needs. All other streets shall be designed with curves having a center-line radius of not less than 150 feet, except where a lesser radius is deemed safe and adequate to serve the public needs.

The applicant must also pay a fee for the Village's out-of-pocket costs for public hearings, public meetings, engineering fees, attorney fees and other out-of-pocket costs incident to the Village's processing of such subdivision plat, subdivision waiver or annexation agreement.
