ALLEYWAY POLICY
(A) Undeveloped or unimproved alleys. Determinations on whether or not an alley is an improved alley shall be at the discretion of the Village Administrator and Street Superintendent. Before any maintenance activities will be assumed by the village an alleyway must be constructed as follows.
(1) The alley shall be excavated to such a depth as to remove any sod, organic materials and the like and the final surfaces shall blend into the surrounding surfaces.
(2) The pavement surfaces shall have a minimum width of ten feet and shall consist either of six inches of compacted ODOT 411 (Stabilized Crushed Aggregate) or four inches of compacted ODOT 404 (Asphalt Concrete).
(3) When asphalt is used, all construction joints shall be sealed with liquid asphalt.
(B) Routine maintenance. Standard maintenance activities shall include snow removal and grading in both the spring and autumn only on improved alleys.
(C) Improved alleys. Improved alleys are those which are surfaced with asphalt concrete, concrete or stone.
(Ord. 85-14, passed 4-15-1985; Am. Ord. 95-48, passed 7-17-1995)
(A) General. The village will pave only those unimproved and improved alleyways adjacent to commercially-owned property. Maintenance and resurfacing will be scheduled as needed.
(B) Petitions for paving (residential/industrial). The village will consider petitions for any unimproved or improved alleyways when 100% of the adjacent property owners are in agreement to be specially assessed for the improvements. Once an alleyway is improved in such a way the village will continue all routine and future maintenance activities. All existing improved, but not paved, and unimproved alleys upgraded to a paved surface shall be constructed with the following standards.
(1) A minimum width shall be ten feet, and if the existing alley is less than ten feet, the stone base shall be extended as necessary with six inches of compacted ODOT 411 (Stabilized Crushed Aggregate).
(2) The existing stone base shall be graded and compacted to a smooth surface.
(3) The asphalt surface shall consist of two inches of compacted ODOT 404 (Asphalt Concrete). All construction joints shall be sealed with liquid asphalt.
(4) The edges of pavement surface shall be blended into the surrounding surfaces with compacted ODOT 411 (Stabilized Crushed Aggregate) to a minimum width of one foot.
(C) Petitions for paying (commercial). The village will agree to pave alleyways where at least 50% of the lineal footage of the alleyway’s entire length is commercially owned property and petitions are presented with at least 75% of property owners, also based on lineal footage. The alleys will be scheduled for paving at the next available time when funds can be duly appropriated and the work scheduled.
(Ord. 95-48, passed 7-17-1995)
The village realizes that head traffic concerns often can convince adjacent property owners to close off an alleyway’s access. Such a closure will occur only if 100% of the adjacent property owners agree to see the alleyway barricaded off. If the Village Council is presented with such a petition, the Council will consider to accept and proceed with the requested action. Safety and community traffic concerns will be considered in any decision.
