1119.09 PAVEMENT, CURBS AND SIDEWALKS.
The pavement, curbs and sidewalks shall be designed and constructed by the developer as required for the district in which the subdivision is located and set forth in the schedules in the Subdivision Regulations and in the Street and Sidewalk Code of the Municipality.
(a) Pavement.
(1) For all pavement constructed in accordance with this subsection and subsection (a)(2) and (3) hereof, the width of the pavement shall be measured between the vertical faces of straight curbs and the outside edges of rolled curbs. The materials and the construction shall be in accordance with the "Detailed Specifications" as required by and now on file with the Municipal Engineer and "Material Specifications" of the State Department of Transportation, whichever is applicable. The pavement requirements may be modified if found necessary by the Engineer and if approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, because of extraordinary traffic loads or unusual soil conditions in specific locations. After the underground utilities and house connections are installed and backfilled, and rough grading completed, the roadway subgrade shall be shaped, rolled and compacted. In those residential subdivisions already under construction and approved for concrete streets and in those planned residential subdivisions which have streets that are continuations or extensions of existing residential subdivisions with concrete streets, the developer shall construct the final pavement of reinforced concrete 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 ten percent (10%) 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 as necessary to comply with the standards of the Municipality at the completion of the construction of the buildings and without expense to the Municipality, until final acceptance of final pavement for maintenance and use.
(2) Except for pavement construction referred to in subsection (a)(l) hereof, the developer shall construct asphalt pavement in accordance with the "Detailed Specifications for Asphalt Paving" as prepared by the Municipal Engineer and on file with the Municipality. All other pertinent provisions of subsection (a)(l) shall apply to the construction of the pavement authorized in this subsection.
(3) In residential subdivisions where the smallest lot is at least 24,000 square feet and where, in the opinion of the Engineer, the topography is undulating such that lot grades shall create difficulties in construction, then the developer may elect to construct an asphalt pavement in accordance with subsection (a)(2) hereof or, alternatively, an asphalt pavement with flush curbs and no gutters provided that such construction is in accordance with the "Detailed Specifications for Rural Asphalt Pavement" as prepared by the Engineer and on file with the Municipality. All other pertinent provisions of subsection (a)(l) hereof shall apply to the construction of the pavement authorized in this subsection.
(b) Curbs and Gutters. Where required in subsection (a)(l) hereof, concrete roll curbs integral with the pavement shall be constructed as required in the district where the subdivision is located. Concrete roll curbs and gutters shall be in accordance with the "Detailed Specifications for Concrete Paving" of the Engineer. Straight curbs may be provided at intersections where rolled curbs are used elsewhere. However, where pavement construction is in accordance with subsection (a)(2) hereof, the developer shall construct vertical concrete curbs integral with the pavement and in accordance with the "Detailed Specifications for Asphalt Paving" as prepared by the Engineer and on file with the Municipality.
(c) Driveways and Curb Cuts. Driveways and curb cuts should be located along the lowest side of the lot, not less than three feet from the side lot line or another driveway. Driveways shall be not less than eight feet and not more than sixteen feet wide in one family districts. Curb cuts for straight curbs and the flare for rolled curbs of driveways shall be three to five feet wider than the driveway pavement on each side; the driveway grade of the apron shall not exceed three percent (3%) from the edge of the pavement to the property line and the maximum grade of the on-site driveway shall not exceed ten percent (10%).
(d) Parking Areas. The design of off-street parking areas and their service driveways shall be in accordance with the standards as set forth in Section 1165.06 of the Zoning Code.
(Ord. 85-5. Passed 4-15-85.)
(e) Public Sidewalks. In residential subdivisions where streets are constructed pursuant to subsection (a)(3) hereof, sidewalks shall not be constructed contemporaneous with the street construction. The developer shall grade the treelawn on both sides of the street so that sidewalks may be constructed at a future date. Such grading shall be done in conformance with the standards on file with the Engineer. However, all sidewalks shall be made available on vacant lots when fifty-one percent (51%) of the lots in the development have been sold or two years of time has elapsed since the development was opened for sale, whichever first occurs. (Ord. 93-35. Passed 9-20-93.)
On local residential streets, sidewalks shall be located in the public right-of-way so that the inner line is approximately six inches from the property line. On corner lots each sidewalk shall be extended to the curb. In residential developments walks shall be not less than five feet wide and not less than ten feet wide in business developments.
Sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete four inches thick. The design and construction shall be in accordance with the standards on file with the Engineer.
In residential subdivisions where streets are constructed pursuant to subsection (a)(3) hereof, sidewalks shall not be constructed contemporaneous with the street construction. The developer shall grade the treelawn on both sides of the street so that sidewalks may be constructed at a future date. Such grading shall be done in conformance with the standards on file with the Engineer.
(Ord. 85-5. Passed 4-15-85.)
1119.10 MONUMENTS.
Monument boxes shall consist of an adjustable cast-iron monument box No. R-1968, Type "B" as manufactured by Neenah Foundry Company, or an approved equal. Monument boxes shall be set at all points in the pavement indicated on the plans. These shall be located so as to conform to the line and grades as shown on the plans and standard detailed drawings for pavements in the Municipality.
(Ord. 69-38. Passed 4-20-70.)
1119.11 STREET TREES.
(a) Spacing and Selection. The selection and spacing of trees shall be in accord with a street tree plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Trees should be planted along new streets at an interval of fifty feet. Tree species should be selected with such habit of growth that they shall fill the space desired within a reasonable time, producing a pleasing effect in scale with adjacent developments. Miniature tree species should not be used except for special design considerations of scale, such as in a mall, and not used merely as a means of reducing pruning and a tree care program. Trees of untried species, of unknown endurance or those requiring frequent spraying should not be used. Trees generally recommended along streets are Red Maple, Norway Maple, Sugar Maple, Red Oak, White Oak, Thornless Honey Locust, London Plane, Amur Cork and Sweet Gum. Trees which have undesirable characteristics such as excessively thick foliage, low branches, unpleasant odors, susceptibility to disease or attack by insects or which have large root systems, such as Poplar, Willow, Cottonwood, American Elm, various nut and fruit trees, Ailanthus, Mountain Ash and Oregon Maple shall not be planted in any tree lawn.
(b) Tree Planting Program. A tree planting program should be prepared by qualified landscape architects for trees along the public streets and public areas. Such program should consider the species to be used on specific streets along with regulations controlling spacing and also controlling the distance from curbs, street intersections, private driveways and street lights. Such program should be in accordance with the objectives of Policy No. 29, January, 1964, of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
(c) Specifications. All trees planted pursuant to this section shall include the following as minimum specifications for each such tree:
(1) The minimum caliper of each tree planted, regardless of species, shall be two and one-half inches. The caliper measurement shall be taken twelve inches above the ground line.
(2) The minimum height for each tree planted shall be in relation to its caliper and species, and in accordance with the standards of the American Nurseryman's Association.
(3) All trees planted shall be balled and burlapped.
(4) All trees planted shall survive one full growing season after the date it is planted. If, before the expiration of one full growing season after the date it is planted, any such tree is either dead or in poor condition, based on the opinion of the Municipal Landscape Architect, it shall be replaced by the developer during the next planting season.
(d) Inspections. All trees planted pursuant to this section shall be inspected by the Municipal Landscape Architect to assure that all requirements herein have been fulfilled.
