(4)  Shoulder width shall be minimized and shall reflect the historic character and environmental sensitivity of surrounding lands.
(5)  Constraints reflect intense abutting development, the presence of historic or cultural resources, environmental sensitivity, or other factors 10 limiting street width.
(6)  Minor width adjustments may be needed to accommodate existing field conditions.
