    B.    Shape. Irregularly shaped blocks, those intended for cul-de-sacs or loop streets, and those containing interior parks or playgrounds, may be approved by the commission if properly designed and located and if the maintenance of interior public places is covered by agreements.

    C.    Length. No block shall be longer than fifteen hundred feet.

    D.    Walkways. Where blocks are over nine hundred feet in length a sidewalk in an easement not less than ten feet in width at or near the halfway point may be required, if necessary, to provide proper access to schools, recreational areas, shopping centers, and other facilities.
