Legal Documents of Mosheim

All streets, roads, and alleys shall be graded or filled horizontally to the full width of their rights-of-way by the subdivider or developer. Due to special topographical conditions, deviation from the above will be allowed only with special approval of the planning commission.

1. Preparation. Before grading is started the entire right-of-way area shall be cleared of all trees, stumps, roots, brush, and other objectionable materials.
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 subgrade.
3. Fill. All suitable material from roadway cuts may be used in the 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 six inches (6") loose and compacted by a sheep's foot roller. Unless another method of preparation of the subgrade is approved by the planning commission, the subgrade shall be constructed as specified in section 23, Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Tennessee Department of Highways and Public Works - January 1, 1968, and latest revision thereto. The filling of utility trenches and other places not accessible to a roller shall be mechanically tamped, and where water is used to assist compaction, the water content shall not exceed the optimum of moisture.
