4. Generally Applicable Parking Standards: A. All turning radius designs on streets and alleys must be approved by the Director of Engineering and Public Works to allow for garbage, utility and emergency vehicle access and circulation. B. Parallel parking is permitted on all street types except AL 1 -20. Designated parallel parking shall have a stall length of twenty -two feet (22') and a stall width of eight feet (8'). C. Angled parking, if any, shall (a) be 45 to 60 degrees angled parking; (b) have a depth of 18', measured perpendicular from the curb; and (c) have a parking stall width of nine feet (9'). 5. Alley Regulations: A. Alleys may be designed with an inverted crown. B. Intersecting Alleys or Utility Easements - Where two alleys intersect or turn at a right angle, a sight triangle of not less than ten feet (10') measured from the point of intersection of the property or easement line, shall be provided along each property or easement line where practical. Minimum inside turning radius (alley pavement) of thirty -five feet (35'), with a minimum inside turning radius (alley pavement) of fifteen feet (15') at street intersections. C. The rear yard fencing and alley design shall accommodate one - sided, side loaded garbage vehicle pick up on one side of the alleys only. 6. Roundabouts. "Roundabouts" are circular intersections that can be an effective intersection type with lower speeds than conventional intersections, requiring less maintenance. For a Roundabout to work properly it shall be designed for restricted speeds. The most significant feature that will restrict the speed is adequate deflection. Entry and exit radii and the size of the central island control vehicle deflection, Minimum standards shall be those of an urban single -lane Roundabout. Particular note should be taken that the Roundabout: A. For Local Street/Collector Street intersections, Roundabouts shall be designed for bus movement. B. Roundabouts shall have a mountable curb on the inside radius; C. Roundabout signage shall be provided. D. Raised splitter islands shall be used to preclude left turn movements prior to the Roundabout unless otherwise approved by the Director. E. Any vegetation in the island shall be designed in compliance with the City of Austin Transportation Criteria Manual. F. No parking shall be allowed within Roundabouts and within twenty feet (20') on all approach roadways; parking shall be restricted to twenty feet (20') past the end of the splitter island. 7. Generally Applicable Street Tree Standards. A. All required street trees must be 45 gallon container -grown Type 1 shade trees, unless a street tree species is unavailable as container -grown at the time of installation. In this case, boxed material or balled and burlapped material of equivalent size may be substituted. B. All street types except AL1 -20 require that the street trees be planted on average every 45' on center within the Planting Strip, with 7' /z feet horizontal clearance from each side of property corners adjacent at Dry Utilities services. Every 45' on center is a standard, but flexible. In cases where designated off - street parking is being provided within the right -of -way, street trees may be located in "bulb- outs" or along the sidewalks on private property, as designated by the Director of Planning.
