STREET AND SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
The location, elevations, and dimensions of all sidewalks and curbs and gutters to be constructed in the residential areas of the city shall conform to the drawings dated July 1963 and titled “Sidewalk and Curb and Gutter Requirements in Residential Areas” and on file in the City Finance Officer’s records and as described herein.
(Prior Code, § 12.08.010)
All sidewalks and all curb and gutters shall be constructed of good-quality concrete. Concrete shall be composed of sand, crushed rock or crushed gravel, Portland cement, and only enough water to give a workable mix. The concrete mixture shall develop a compressive strength of at least 3,000 pounds per square inch in 28 days, but in all cases have at least five and one-half bags of cement per cubic yard and not more than six gallons of water per bag of cement. Good accepted practices shall be followed in mixing, transporting, placing, finishing, and curing the concrete.
(Prior Code, § 12.08.020)
(A) Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be constructed four inches thick and four feet wide in residential areas. There shall be a “dummy” or control joint cut across the sidewalk at four-foot intervals to control cracking. The four-foot wide sidewalks shall slope one and one-half inches toward the street.
(B) Curb and gutter. No straight curb without an integral gutter section shall be constructed. All curb and gutter sections shall have an overall width of 30 inches. The gutter section shall be six inches above the gutter flow line making a total thickness of 12 inches at the back edge of the curb. All curb shall be constructed with an integral gutter section. The curb shall be a roll type with a two-inch flat top surface and sloping to the gutter flow line ten inches from the back of the curb. The gutter flow line shall be one and one-half inches lower than the front edge of the gutter section.
(Prior Code, § 12.08.030)
(A) Sidewalks. The sidewalks shall be constructed within the street right-of-way with the property side of the sidewalk coinciding with the property line. Whenever practical, the sidewalk shall be constructed at an elevation lower than the finished ground elevation at the building site on the property, and if practical, it shall be level with or above the finished street centerline elevation.
(B) Curb and gutter. The back side of the curb shall be 20 feet from the centerline of the street right-of-way to provide a 40-foot street from back of curb to back of curb. Wherever practical, the top of the curb shall be constructed level with or lower than the street side of the sidewalk, and if practical, it shall also be approximately level with the finished street centerline elevation. If no sidewalk exists, the top of the curb, if practical, shall be low enough to allow drainage from the property into the street. The curb and gutter shall have a longitudinal slope of at least four inches per 100 feet, but a greater slope is desirable.
(Prior Code, § 12.08.040)
