"Interior residential and cul-de-sac streets" as used in this subsection means streets which serve only lots which are wholly within the subdivision. That is, the term is intended to apply to streets other than through streets. It is not intended to apply to that portion of streets adjacent to the exterior boundaries of the subdivision nor to streets within the subdivision that are aligned, generally, with streets lying outside the subdivision.

These minimum standards include a requirement that subdividers fully improve any half-street adjacent to their subdivision with full street improvements.
