[Adopted 7-11-1972 as Ch. 74, Art.
I, of the 1972 Code]
No street, avenue or road shall be taken over
or accepted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Netcong unless
said street, road or avenue shall have been constructed as hereinafter
specified:
B.
All streets shall be graded for the full width of
the right-of-way.
C.
Plans and profiles. Before the developer offers his
final plat for approval, he shall submit six copies of the detailed
plans and profiles of the streets shown on the final plat to the Borough
Clerk, and the written approval of the Municipal Engineer must accompany
the submission of the final plat to the Planning Board for approval
by the Mayor and Council. The Municipal Engineer shall, if requested
to do so, recommend such changes as may be required so that the proposed
streets shall meet the requirements of this article. The scale for
plan and the horizontal scale for profile shall be one inch to 50
feet and for vertical scale of profile one inch to five feet. The
profile shall be shown directly upon the plan and, if space permits,
two sections of plan and profile may be shown on the same sheet. The
plan of the road shall show the center line of construction, right-of-way
lines, stations of beginning and end of curves, curve data, fifty-foot
station points, equation of stationing streams, roads and railroads
on or near the right-of-way, poles, trees, buildings or other obstructions
within the right-of-way, houses and buildings within 50 feet of the
right-of-way, property division lines and names of owners. All construction
under streets, such as water lines, storm sewers, etc., shall be shown
on both plan and profile. Copies of the approved plans shall be filed
with the Borough Clerk and Borough Engineer.
D.
Grading and filling procedures.
(1)
Subgrade. All topsoil shall be stripped from the proposed
subgrade. The subgrade, when completed, shall be true to the lines
and grades given on the plan. After the subgrade has been shaped correctly,
it shall be brought to a firm, unyielding surface by rolling the entire
area with a power roller weighing not less than 10 tons, or other
approved methods. All soft and spongy places shall be excavated and
refilled solidly with broken stone, broken slag, gravel, suitable
earth or sand. All loose rock or boulders shall be removed or broken
off six inches below the subgrade surface. All stumps shall be removed
in their entirety. This shall be done before completing the rolling
of the entire surface of the subgrade. Subsurface drainage shall be
provided where necessary.
(2)
Fills. Embankments shall be formed of suitable materials
placed in successive layers, not more than 12 inches in depth, for
the full width of the cross section, and shall be compacted by distributing
the necessary hauling uniformly over each succeeding layer or by rolling
with a ten-ton, three-wheel power roller or other approved methods.
Stumps, trees, rubbish or any other unsuitable materials or substance
shall not be placed in the fill.
E.
Pavements. The pavements shall be constructed to the
following finished cross section:
(1)
The pavement shall have a parabolic surface with a
six-inch crown. Said six-inch crown is based on the pavement's being
34 feet in width (17 feet on each side of the center line). The crown
for pavements of lesser width will be constructed to the same ratio
as for pavements being 34 feet in width.
(2)
The pavement will have a parabolic surface and will
be constructed for the entire width between the curbs, and shall have
a six-inch crown or as otherwise approved by the Municipal Engineer.
(3)
Macadam base course. After the subgrade has been completed
and approved by the Municipal Engineer, there shall be spread over
its entire surface a uniform layer of clean, two-and-one-half-inch
broken stone to such a depth that after ultimate compression it shall
have a minimum uniform depth of five inches. After the stone has been
spread, it shall be thoroughly compacted and consolidated and bound
as per requirements of the New Jersey Highway Standard Specifications
and supplements thereto for Bridge and Road Construction.
(4)
Alternate macadam base course. After the subgrade
has been completed and approved by the Municipal Engineer, there shall
be spread over the entire surface a uniform layer of clean, two-and-one-half-inch
slag or bankrun of slag, provided said bankrun of slag meets the approval
of the Municipal Engineer, to such a depth that after ultimate compression
it shall have a minimum uniform depth of seven inches. After the slag
has been spread, it shall be thoroughly compacted and consolidated
and bound as per requirements of the New Jersey State Highway Standard
Specifications and supplements thereto for Bridge and Road Construction.
F.
Prime coat of bituminous material on macadam base
course or slag course. Prior to the placing of the bituminous concrete
course on slag or macadam base, course shall be cleaned of all loose
aggregate, the surface given a prime coat of either asphalt oil, Grade
MC-0 or MC-1, or tar, Grade RT-1, or RT-2, or emulsified asphalt,
Grade MS-1, at the rate of 0.10 to 0.25 gallon per square yard, and
the roadway closed to traffic. The bituminous concrete course shall
not be placed until the prime coat has penetrated to the satisfaction
of the Engineer or his representative and a minimum of 12 hours has
elapsed after application. Application of the prime coat will not
be permitted when the base course is wet or frozen. Application methods
and equipment shall meet with the approval of the Engineer. The temperature
at which the prime coat material shall be applied shall be as follows:
|
Prime Coat Designation
|
Permissible Temperature
(degrees Fahrenheit)
| |
|---|---|---|

MC-0
|
50º F. to 120º F.

G.
Bituminous concrete course, road surface course or
wearing course.
(1)
All bituminous concrete course, road surface course
or wearing course shall be constructed upon macadam base course as
heretofore specified.
(2)
Bituminous concrete course, road surface course or
wearing course shall be of bituminous concrete having minimum thickness
of two inches after ultimate compression and shall weigh no less than
220 pounds per square yard per two-inch depth.
(3)
The type of bituminous concrete will be approved by
the Municipal Engineer prior to its installation, construction or
laying.
The above specifications shall apply for the
full cross section of the pavement between curbs, and all materials,
workmanship and the manner in which it is performed shall meet the
approval of the Borough Engineer and shall comply with the New Jersey
State Highway Specifications and supplements thereto.
