Exceptions to Address Topographv and Natural Features Occasionally, streets are constructed in locations which require special accommodations such as in hilly areas, or near wetlands, canals, dense vegetation, or sensitive plants and animals. In these cases, specific considerations should be made to minimize negative impacts. For example, wide streets along steep slopes require much larger hillside cuts than narrow streets. Generally, the range of local street types make it possible to construct or improve local streets in accordance with the design standards. In certain situations, however, exceptions should be made. Exceptions could result in construction of meandering sidewalks, sidewalks on only one side of the street, or curbside sidewalk segments instead of setback walks. Exceptions are allowed when one or more of the following conditions exist.
