Legal Documents of Dandridge

All streets, roads, and alleys shall be graded to not less than three-fourths (3/4) of their full width. Due to special topographical conditions, deviation to the above will be allowed only with special approval of the board of mayor and aldermen.

1. Preparation. Before grading is started the entire right-of-way area shall be first cleared of all stumps, roots, brush, and other objectionable materials and all trees not intended for preservation.
2. Cuts. All tree stumps, boulders, and other obstructions shall be removed to a depth of two feet (2') below the subgrade. Rock, when encountered, shall be scarified to a depth of twelve inches (12") below the subgrade.

3. Fill. All suitable material from roadway cuts may be used in construction of fills, approaches, or at other places as needed.

   Excess materials, including organic materials, soft clays, etc., shall be removed from the development site. The fill shall be spread in layers not to exceed twelve inches (12") loose and properly compacted. The filling of utility trenches and other places not accessible to a roller shall be mechanically tamped, but where water is used to assist compaction, the water content shall not exceed the optimum of moisture.

4. Drainage swales. The valley line of drainage swales shall be within the right-of-way and no more than two feet (2') from the edge thereof.

   The developer shall do and bear all the costs of the grading and related work required by this section. (1995 Code, § 16-306)
