All new drive approaches within the village shall be constructed of Portland cement concrete (Class SI) or bituminous concrete, Class I or B (Modified) over an aggregate base course in accordance with the East Dundee Standards.
(A) Materials and construction methods.
(1) The concrete driveway approaches shall be constructed on a prepared subgrade in accordance with Section 423 of the State Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, hereinafter referred to as SSSRBC, and shall be constructed of concrete having a minimum thickness of six inches for private access driveways. For commercial and industrial driveways where heavy truck use is anticipated, increasing the minimum thickness and/or including reinforcement of the Portland cement concrete slab is required.
(2) The bituminous driveway approaches shall be constructed on a prepared sub-grade in accordance with the applicable portions of Sections 351, 405, and 406 of the SSSRBC and shall be constructed of a minimum of eight inches of compacted crushed gravel, having a gradation conforming to CA-6, as a base course and with two inches minimum compacted thickness of bituminous concrete, Class I or Class B (Modified) as a surface course. Increasing these thicknesses for entrances in commercial and industrial areas where heavy truck use is anticipated will be required as specified by the Village Engineer or Director of Public Works.
(B) Curing of concrete.
(1) The surface of the newly laid concrete pavement shall be cured as set forth in Article 1020.13(a) of the SSSRBC and by a method satisfactory to the Village Engineer or Director of Public Works. The material used for curing shall conform with the material specifications per Section 1022 of the SSSRBC.
(2) Special attention is required for the protection of fresh concrete against cold weather, which should follow the measures discussed in Article 1020.13(c) of the SSSRBC.
(3) A minimum of three days curing period is required for all newly constructed concrete pavements. All freshly poured, exposed surfaces shall be adequately protected against wash by rain.
(C) Backfill. After the concrete has been cured, the spaces along the edges of the driveway shall be backfilled to the finished level with approved topsoil. The topsoil shall then be compacted until firm and the surface neatly graded to receive grass cover with either seeding or sod.
(D) Protection and protective coating. Vehicles shall be kept off of new concrete during the entire curing period.
