Each end of a mews shall connect to a street and shall not terminate into an alley or another mews. The mews layout shall not preclude the intent of improved emergency access; B.

New mews serving residential lots shall be public. 9.6 Vehicular Circulation 9.6.1 General New streets, internal drives, and cross access drive aisles shall be designed to provide vehicular interconnectivity that facilitates safe and efficient traffic movements, improves access, and connects adjacent properties. 9.6.2 Exceptions The DRT may determine that a vehicular connection per this Section shall not be required: A. Due to the classification of a street; B. When adjacent to floodplain, wetlands, riparian buffers, or tree save areas; or C.

The arrangement of new streets and internal drives shall provide for the alignment and continuation of existing or proposed streets and internal drives into adjacent properties. B. Street connections, street stubs, or internal drive connections shall be provided in every direction and shall connect to all adjacent streets and internal drives, including those existing, planned, or otherwise deemed necessary by the DRT to extend the street network.
