1123.01 STREETS.

   All streets shall be given special study and designed to fit the location, present and future traffic needs, soil conditions and ultimate use. The following minimum standards shall apply to all streets required by the Subdivision Code:

   (a)   Pavement Width. Unless the Planning Commission and engineer of jurisdiction agree otherwise prior to final approval of a proposed subdivision all pavement widths as measured from curb back to curb back shall be as follows:

Street Classification	Pavement Width (feet)
Primary and secondary	Will vary with design; developer will be responsible only for curb and gutter and a maximum of 36 feet of pavement cost as determined by the installing authority.
Collector	37
Minor for apartments and two-family	29
Minor for commercial	29
Minor for industrial	29
Minor for one-family residence and marginal access	29
Cul-de-sacs	29
Private streets (lot sizes of one acre or larger)	20 plus 4-foot berms both sides (no curbs)

   (b)    Design Standards. All street pavements shall slope from the crown to each gutter at three-sixteenths inch per foot minimum. All curbs shall rise six inches above the gutter plate. All gutter plates shall be a minimum of six inches of Portland concrete cement and have a minimum width of eighteen inches. All curb backs shall be vertical and a minimum of thirteen inches in height. There shall be a planting strip between the curb back and sidewalk of at least four and one-half feet with a slope of three-eighths inch per foot. Private street pavements without curbs will be drained by roadway ditches (V-shaped ditch with 3:1 side slopes) having a grade of less than two percent (2%) and a design flow not to exceed the capacity of a twelve inch diameter pipe. For ditches with a grade over two percent (2%) and a flow equal to or greater than the capacity of a twelve inch diameter pipe, a storm sewer conduit will be required.

   (c)    Street Materials. The following shall apply to all public and private streets required in these Regulations and shall be installed in accordance with the current Ohio Department of Transportation Construction and Material Specifications.

      (1)    Primary and secondary streets shall be constructed from plans approved by the engineer of jurisdiction and to standards and specifications established by such plans, including traffic volumes, traffic loads and soil bearing values.

      (2)    Collector, minor and marginal access streets shall be constructed from plans approved by the engineer of jurisdiction and to the standards and specifications established by such plans, including traffic volumes, traffic loads and soil bearing value, with the following minimums:

A.    Six inches Portland cement concrete, Item 452 of referenced Transportation Specifications. Subbase shall consist of six inches of Ohio Department of Transportation 304 material. Six-inch diameter pipe underdrains shall be installed a minimum of three feet below subgrade during construction.

B.    Five inches Item 301 of referenced Ohio Department of Transportation Specifications bituminous aggregate base and one and one-half inches Item 404 asphalt concrete surface course. Subbase shall consist of six inches of Ohio Department of Transportation 304 material. Six-inch diameter pipe underdrains shall be installed a minimum of three feet below subgrade during construction.

C.    The City Planning Commission may, upon the recommendation of the City Engineer, require pavement material sections of greater thickness than referred to in subsections (c)(2)A., B. or C. hereof, if the pavement is expected to be subject to soils with low-bearing values, to high vehicular traffic volumes or to a great number of truckloads associated with commercial or industrial development.

            (Ord. 06-282. Passed 12-19-06.)

1123.02 SANITARY SEWERS.

   All sanitary sewers which are to be connected into the City sewer system or are within the corporation limits of the City shall be inspected by the City Engineer before street pavement construction begins. All other sanitary sewers shall be inspected by the County Sanitary Engineer before street pavement construction begins. Where the new sanitary sewers lie within the area between curbs of a proposed street or within three feet of such curbs, the trench shall be backfilled and tamped using granular material meeting the specifications of Item 310.02.

   (a)    House Connections. All house connections shall be at least six inches in diameter at a minimum slope of one-eighth inch per foot.

      (1)    Within fifty feet of a source of private water supply or 100 feet of a semi-public well such operations shall at the option of the developer be:

         A.    Cast iron pipe;

         B.    Asbestos cement pressure pipe; or

         C.    Comparable and equal new products.

      (2)    Beyond fifty feet from a source of private water supply such connections shall at the option of the developer be:

         A.    Cast iron pipe;

         B.    Vitrified sewer pipe (A.S.T.M. Specification C-700) with rubber or plastic mechanical compression joints (A.S.T.M. Specification C-425).

   (b)    Sewer Laterals. All sewer laterals located between house connections and sewer trunks shall conform to the following minimums:

      (1)    Size shall be at least eight inches in diameter.

      (2)    Gradient shall be 0.40% minimum.

      (3)    Construction shall be of vitrified sewer pipe (A.S.T.M. Specification C-700) with rubber or plastic mechanical compression joints (A.S.T.M. Specification C-425). (Ord. 73-499. Passed 12-18-73.)

      (4)    Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sanitary sewer pipe (ASTM D-3034) with integral wall bell and spigot-type joint (ASTM D-3212) push-on type and ASTM F-479 gasket for fourteen-foot maximum depth.

      (5)    Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composite sanitary sewer pipe (ASTM D-2680) with bell and spigot-type joint (ASTM D-3212) push-on type and ASTM F-479 gasket. (Ord. 90-054. Passed 4-3-90.)
