[Added 8-17-1998]
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
The permitted method of cutting a mountable or vertical faced
curb is with a high-speed, water-cooled concrete saw. No hand sawing
is allowed.
[Amended 6-15-2020 by Ord. No. 20-10]
A length of curb that was poured and finished as one uniform
piece of concrete. Each section is typically 10 feet long.
[Amended 6-15-2020 by Ord. No. 20-10]
A mountable curb is made of poured concrete that is 11 inches
high on the backside or the side away from the street and is eight
inches high on the street side. The combination of the curb and gutter
is 30 inches wide. The purpose of a mountable curb is twofold. A mountable
curb is used for conveying stormwater that drains from the roadway
and, to a smaller extent, abutting lands to a catch basin or drainage
inlet for conveyance in the stormwater drainage system. The secondary
purpose that a mountable curb serves is to permit a municipal street
to be constructed at a time when the various driveway approaches are
unknown. A mountable curb can be driven over with appropriate care
and caution.
A vertical face curb is a curb made of poured concrete that
is 12 inches high on the backside or the side away from the street
and is 7 1/2 inches high on the street side. The combination
of the curb and gutter is 30 inches wide. The purpose of a vertical
face curb is for conveying stormwater that drains from the roadway
and, to a smaller extent, abutting lands to a catch basin or drainage
inlet for conveyance in the stormwater drainage system as well as
providing a defined limit for a street.
A.

and repoured as driveway approaches.
[Amended 6-15-2020 by Ord. No. 20-10]
