The general requirements pertaining to street classifications and required curb and gutter types shall be followed:
(A) Alleys shall not be required to have concrete curb and gutter.
(B) All streets bordering on subdivisions for which plat approval is requested shall be improved with curbs and gutters and storm sewer systems designed in accordance with applicable sections of this code. The improvement plans shall reflect these requirements with the inclusion of curb and gutter and storm sewer elevations. Existing pavement that is removed shall be replaced with material matching that of the existing or better. The profile developed for immediate construction of curb on one side associated with the development being proposed shall be designed to accommodate new curb and drainage on the opposite side of the street. Drainage systems to accommodate new curb and drainage on the opposite side of the street are not required to be installed with the immediate development, however, proposed designs for systems being built shall accommodate pavement drainage and existing runoff from an area extending from the back of curb of the opposite side of the street a distance away from said back of curb that is a minimum of 50 feet. When larger areas than those described will be required to discharge into the same street drainage system, the city may opt to initiate upgrades to the systems being designed for the immediate development at costs borne by the city.
(C) Combination concrete curb and gutter shall be constructed in accordance with the IDOT Standard Specifications and standards and requirements of this code in effect at the time the preliminary plat is submitted for approval, except as otherwise provided in this code.
(D) All adjoining pavement joints shall be extended into the curb and gutter and be constructed and filled of similar or higher methods and material.
(E) A minimum one-eighth inch sawed longitudinal joint constructed in accordance with the standards shall be required along the edge of pavement if the curb and gutter is monolithically poured with the pavement (slip-form method).
