1111.05  STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
   The subdivider shall design and construct pavements, curbs and gutters of sizes and types not less than as provided for in the table set forth herein for all streets.  Pavement cross-sections shall be as specified by the current edition of the State of Ohio Department of Transportation Construction and Material Specifications.
   (a)     Methods of constructions and materials shall meet the requirements of the current State of Ohio Department of Transportation Construction and Materials specifications unless otherwise ordered by the Village Inspector.
   (b)     Subgrades shall be inspected and approved by the Village Inspector before any materials are placed.  Each material course shall be accepted by the Village Inspector before each succeeding courts is constructed.
   (c)   The type and quantities of materials to be used will be determined by the Village Inspector.  Quality tests and analysis shall be required by the Village Inspector.  Where 404 is laid on 301 base immediately, prime or tack coat will be required.
   (d)     Except where 451 and 452 pavement is used, all curbing shall be 24 inches wide combination curb and gutter sections, constructed of Portland cement concrete.
         Minimum gutter thickness shall be 8 inches.
Residential curb shall be mountable concrete type, 4 inches higher than the gutter. 
Curbing on collector and industrial streets shall be mountable concrete type, 6 inches higher than the gutter.  Curb openings for drive, ditches, drains, etc., are not permitted.
   (e)     Surface width is area between gutters.  Total width is face-to-face curbing distances.
      NOTE:
      The basis for the design of pavements is made on the chart as follows:
 
ITEM      STRUCTURAL NUMBER
404         0.35
402         0.35
301          0.35
304          0.14
   The use of a combination of any of these materials that equal or exceed the structural equivalences listed is permissible.  In all cases, the surface course may not be substituted, but all substitutions for those listed shall be approved by the Village Inspector.
   In lieu of the above, design of pavement may be determined as outlined in the current Ohio Department of Transportation design policy memorandum entitled: “Current Pavement Design Manual-Secondary and Local Roads and Streets.”
      (1)   Pavements.  Higher standards and/or greater widths than indicated herein may be required by the Planning Commission and/or the Village Inspector to adequately provide for unusual soil conditions or extraordinary traffic volumes or loads.  After the underground utilities and house connections are installed and rough grading completed, the roadway subgrade shall be shaped, rolled and compacted.  (Refer to Table I and Appendix A.)  The subdivider may construct a temporary roadway of slag or stone for use during the building construction period.  Such pavements shall be maintained in a safe and passable condition by the subdivider without expense to the Village.
      (2)     Curbs and Gutters.  Concrete curbs and gutters, separate and integral with pavement, shall be provided as indicated in Table I and as indicated by the typical cross section shown in Appendix A.  Where curbs exist, downspout and footer drains must be connected to the storm sewer; drains through the curb will not be permitted.
   (3)    Sidewalks.  Sidewalks shall be constructed of Portland cement concrete four inches thick with the thickness increased to six inches where the sidewalk is crossed by a driveway.  They shall be located as shown by the typical cross section in Appendix A.  The construction and materials shall be as specified in the State of Ohio Department of Transportation Construction and Materials Specifications.  Sidewalk widths shall be a minimum of four feet.  The Planning Commission may allow pedestrian walkways to be substituted for sidewalks.
         New sidewalks are the responsibility of the property owner and must be completed no more than 30 days after completion of building a new home/duplex/apartment building, etc.  Maintenance of all sidewalks is the responsibility of the landowner.
      (4)   Pedestrian Walkways.  Pedestrian walkways, not less than ten feet wide, or of such greater width as deemed necessary by the Planning Commission, shall be required across blocks where the Planning Commission deems that pedestrian access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation and other community facilities is necessary.  Paving, fencing and other required improvements shall be determined by the Planning Commission, as recommended by the Village Inspector.
      (5)    Street Name Signs.  To avoid duplication and confusion, the proposed names of all streets shall be approved by the Village Planning Commission prior to such names being assigned or used.  The subdivider shall install a street sign showing the names of all streets at all street intersections.  The signs shall conform to the specifications of the Village Planning Commission and be mounted at a height of approximately seven feet above the top of the curb or crown of the pavement.  The sign shall be located as directed by the Village Planning Commission.
      (6)   Street Lights.  The subdivider shall install street lights in accordance with the standards and specifications of the Village.
