16-303 : Roadway improvements.

  1. Base. A compacted base course six inches (6") deep and three feet (3') wider than the width of the pavement on each side of the street shall be installed on all streets, including cul-de-sacs, temporary turn-arounds and access streets to adjoining properties, according to the method specified in section 33, Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridge Construction, (Tennessee Department of Highways and Public Works - January 1, 1968) and latest revisions thereto. Wetting of the stone before compaction may be done at a point of origin or on the job site at the option of the contractor. In all cases the centerline of a roadway shall coincide with the center line of the right-of-way dedicated for such road or street.
  2. Curbs. Except for rural streets, as defined in this chapter, curbs of no lower classification than machine formed concrete extruded curb, nine inches (9") wide at the base and seven and one-half inches (7-1/2") shall be installed. The curb shall be installed after the prime coat is applied to the base. Backfill shall be towards the curb to ensure drainage of surface water into the drainage system. In lieu of curbs and gutters as the drainage system on cul-de-sacs and loop streets, the planning commission may accept one (1) of two (2) alternatives:
    1. Swales may be used on streets where the finished grade does not exceed two percent (2%);

    2. Streets with an inverted crown may be used provided that the drainage area of the street does not exceed five (5) acres developed.

      One-half inch (1/2") to three-fourths inch (3/4") expansion and contraction joints for the curbs and gutters shall be placed at intervals not exceeding forty feet (40').

  3. Prime coat. After a thoroughly compacted base has been established, a prime coat shall be applied as specified in section 49, Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Tennessee Department of Highways and Public Works - January 1, 1968, and latest revision thereto.
  4. Wearing surface. The wearing surface shall consist of a surface course constructed with asphalt concrete, prepared with mineral aggregate, laid hot as specified under section 103, Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Tennessee Department of Highways and Public Works - January 1, 1968 and latest revision thereto. It shall be constructed in one (1) layer not less than two inches (2") thick. (Ord. #13, June 1975)
