If a subdivider elects to construct streets totally of portland cement concrete or if such a pavement is required by the Municipal Engineer, a thickness of six inches for local and collector streets and seven inches for arterial, commercial and industrial streets is required. The Planning Commission may require pavement of greater thickness, upon the recommendation of the Municipal Engineer, based upon his or her evaluation of the subgrade, traffic and wheel load conditions.

If streets are to be constructed out of full-depth asphalt, an asphalt pavement in which asphalt-aggregate mixtures are used for all courses above the subgrade, a careful inspection of the subgrade may be necessary to determine pavement thicknesses. For local streets, pavements may vary from four to six inches depending upon subgrade conditions. For collector streets, pavements may vary from five to nine inches, and for arterial and industrial streets, from six to 11 inches.

In commercial developments, or where other similar intensive urban uses exist or are anticipated, curbs shall be required. Where curbs exist on abutting properties, their extension shall be required throughout the proposed subdivision. Curbs, combined curbs and gutters shall be constructed in conformity with the current edition of Construction and Material Specifications of the State of Ohio Department of Transportation.

(e) Whenever a cul-de-sac street serves not more than three lots, the name of the intersecting street shall apply to the cul-de-sac.
