(a) Pavement. After the underground utilities and house service connections are installed and rough grading complete, the roadway subgrade shall be constructed. The backfill of all trenches within the roadway to be paved and for a distance of three (3) feet outside of curb lines, shall be water tamped or mechanically tamped; and where clay or shale are encountered, the trenches shall be backfilled with sand or granulated gravel.
(b) Schedule of Pavement. The width and thickness of pavement and the material for pavement, curbs and gutters shall be not less than required in the district in which the subdivision is located and set forth in the schedule herein located on the following page.
The width of the pavement shall be measured between the vertical faces of straight curbs and the outside edges of rolled curbs.
The pavement requirements enumerated below may be modified if found necessary by the City Engineer and if approved by the Commission, because of extraordinary traffic loads or unusual soil conditions in specific locations.
The materials and the construction shall be in accord with the standards of the City or the “Construction and Material Specifications” of the Ohio Transportation Department whichever is applicable or has jurisdiction. The dimensions in the schedule below are after compaction. Salt stabilization of the base may be required.

After the underground utilities and house connections are installed and backfilled and rough grading complete, the roadway subgrade shall be shaped, rolled and compacted. The developer may construct the final pavement of reinforced concrete at least seven (7) inches thick with integral curbs, or the developer may request to construct a temporary pavement of slag or stone for use during the building construction period and furnish a cash bond of at least 10 percent of the amount of the performance bond or in other amounts mutually agreed to, guaranteeing that all pavements shall be maintained in a passable and reasonable condition and rebuilt if necessary to comply with the standards of the City at the completion of the construction of the buildings, and without expense to the City, until acceptance of final pavement for maintenance and use.
(c) Curbs and Gutters. Straight curbs of concrete or stone, rolled concrete curbs and gutters, or concrete gutters integral with the pavement shall be provided as required in the district where the subdivision is located. Rolled curbs and gutters shall be not less than twenty-four (24) inches wide and rolled on a seventeen (17) inch radius. Straight curbs shall be provided at intersections although rolled curbs are used elsewhere.
Road ditches, with grass gutters where grades are less than 5 percent and concrete valley gutters where grades exceed 5 percent, may be permitted by the Commission in districts where lots at least one hundred (100) feet wide are required.
(d) Driveways shall be located in accordance with the development plan of the block and may be grouped in pairs or spaced separately. Generally they shall be located along the lowest side of the lot, not less than two (2) feet from side lot line or another drive way and not more than sixteen (16) feet wide.
Curb cuts for straight curbs and the flare for rolled curbs of driveways shall be at least three (3) feet wider than the pavement on each side; the grade of the apron shall not exceed 5 percent for a distance of ten (10) feet from the sidewalk, and the maximum grade of the driveway shall not exceed 15 percent.
(e) Public Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of the street; however, the Commission may approve walks only on one side of a local street in certain instances in subdivisions having lots eighty (80) feet or more in width, and it may not require any walks in subdivisions having lots one hundred (100) feet or more in width. Walks shall be extended to connect with existing walks or to the boundaries of the subdivision if walks are not accessible.
On local residential streets, sidewalks shall be located in the public right-of-way so that the inner line is approximately six (6) inches from the property line. On corner lots each sidewalk shall be extended to the curb. In all residential developments, walks shall be not less than five (5) feet wide and not less than ten (10) feet wide in business developments.
Sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete four (4) inches thick, except where crossed by driveways six (6) inches thick, and in accord with other standards for construction of the City.
