The streets shall be graded to the grades and dimensions shown on the submitted plans and profiles as approved by the Borough, and shall include the following improvements:
(a) Storm sewer inlets shall be of the type shown on the Borough Construction Standards and shall be placed at all low points along both sides of the street to insure adequate drainage, but in no instance shall the distance between inlets along the street exceed 400 feet unless approved by the Borough Engineer. Inlets at street intersections shall be placed on the tangent and not on the curved portion.
(b) Paved curbs shall be constructed on both sides of the cartway in accordance with the Borough Engineer's requirements.
(c) All streets and service roads shall be paved to the minimum width outlined in Chapter 1246, the base course and wearing surface shall be constructed in accordance with the Borough Construction Standards and all materials used shall meet the latest Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Specifications. Additional cartway widths and additional base course depths may be required as the Borough Engineer may determine to be necessary for the type of street that has been proposed.
(d) French drains shall be installed as may be determined by the Borough Engineer during construction to prevent the infiltration of water under the paved roadway.
(e) Street shoulders shall be graded for the full width of the right of way in accordance with the Borough Construction Standards, and thoroughly compacted by rolling. All shoulders and slopes shall be seeded to prevent erosion.
(f) Cul-de-sacs shall be graded and paved in accordance with Chapter 1246.
(g) All utilities crossing streets shall be installed and trenches backfilled and compacted with a granulated material, and all other utilities within the street right of way shall be installed before paving is initiated.
(h) Street signs of the type approved by the Council shall be placed at all street intersections, at a location determined by the Borough Engineer. Street names must be approved by the Lawrence County Planning Commission prior to submission of the final plan.
(i) Driveways shall be constructed to conform to the grade of the finished shoulders. All descending or ascending grades or driveways shall begin at the street right of way.
(j) Any fences, hedges, trees, shrubbery, walls, plantings or other obstruction located within the right of way of any street shall be a maximum of three feet in height. A clear sight triangle shall be maintained at every intersection.
