[HISTORY: Adopted by the Planning Board of the Village of Chester 9-24-1968,
approved by resolution of the Board of Trustees 12-9-1968.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
The title of this resolution is "A Resolution Establishing Standards
Governing the Building and Construction of Roads and Highways Within the Village
of Chester, New York, Pursuant to the Provisions of Article 6-A of the Village
Law of the State of New York and Amendments Thereto."[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: See now Art. 7 of the Village Law, as adopted by Ch.
892 of the Laws of 1972.
This resolution shall also be known as the "Street and Highway Building
Regulations of the Village of Chester, New York."
The purpose of these regulations shall be to provide rules, standards
and procedures for the building and construction of streets and highways in
the Village of Chester, in order to promote the safety, convenience and general
welfare of the Village.
A.
The entire right-of-way shall be cleared of brush and
trees except those which will be an asset to the subdivision landscape as
approved by the Planning Board.
B.
All boulders, organic material, soft clay, spongy soil
and other objectionable material shall be removed and replaced by material
approved by the Village Engineer until a satisfactory subbase is established.
A.
The subbase shall be properly stabilized, shaped, rolled
and uniformly compacted with a ten-ton roller to conform to the lines, grades
and typical cross sections of these regulations and the approved final plat
profile drawings. The process of shaping, rolling and filling shall be repeated
until no depressions develop.
B.
All rutting, displacement or soft spots after the subbase
has been completed shall be properly repaired with new material, regraded
and compacted.
C.
Cuts and fills shall have a maximum slope of one on two
from the edge of the right-of-way except when specifically waived by the Planning
Board and the Village Engineer for the purpose of saving trees or some particular
terrain feature at a given place.
A.
Six-inch portland cement concrete curbs shall be constructed
on both sides of the street prior to laying street foundation course to the
dimensions and specifications indicated.
B.
A base course of three inches of porous tile shall be
laid in coarse washed sand under all curbs. This underdrain shall be so graded
that any water under the curb will drain to the nearest catch basin where
the underdrain shall be connected.
C.
A concrete mix of 3,500 pounds per square inch after
28 days shall be used and shall be finished and cured to the satisfaction
of the Village Engineer.
D.
Curbs shall be depressed at least four inches at all
driveways.
E.
Stone or precast curbs may be substituted on approval
of the Village Engineer.
A.
The foundation course shall consist of approved run-of-bank
gravel, crusher-run stone or crusher-run gravel to the depths as called for
in these regulations. All materials acceptable for this course shall be hard,
durable and sound and shall be well graded from coarse to fine, the maximum
diameter of the large particles not exceeding 2/3 of the thickness of a single
compacted foundation course.
B.
A foundation course of run-of-bank gravel shall be laid
in two six-inch layers for a total thickness of 12 inches for minor and marginal
streets, and in two six-inch layers and one three-inch layer for a total thickness
of 15 inches for collector and major or arterial streets. Alternatively, a
foundation course of crusher-run stone or crusher-run gravel shall be laid
in one six-inch layer for minor or marginal streets and in two four-inch layers
for collector and major or arterial streets.
C.
The material shall be placed on the finished subbase
in layers of no greater than six inches in thickness by means of mechanical
spreaders, and each layer shall be thoroughly compacted by rolling with a
ten-ton roller. Water shall be added to the materials in such amount as the
Village Engineer may consider necessary for proper compaction. After compaction,
the course shall be true to course and cross section and any depressions shall
be eliminated by the use of additional granular materials and thoroughly rolled
in place. In all cases, each foundation course layer must be so thoroughly
compacted that it will not weave under the roller.
D.
The subbase and foundation course, when completed, shall
lay through one winter season between November 1 and March 31, but in no case
less than six months, to allow for complete settlement before pavement shall
be constructed.
A.
Penetration macadam: Alternative No. 1 for base and surface
courses.
(1)
After the foundation course has been completed as specified in § A101-7 above and regraded, if necessary, to the satisfaction of the Village Engineer, the developer shall construct a base course of either penetration macadam as specified in this subsection or asphalt concrete as specified in Subsection B below.
(2)
Since it is imperative that this course conform accurately
to the line, grade and cross section specified and as called for on the plans,
the developer shall set up pins and lines or other control devices to attain
the desired accuracy. Rolling shall begin at the curbline and continue towards
the center and shall continue until there is no movement of the course ahead
of the roller.
(3)
After the foundation course has been completed and only
between the dates of May 15 and October 15 when the temperature is above 60°
F., and when the stone or gravel is dry, clean and free of frost, the penetration
macadam base course shall be constructed. No trucking or construction traffic
shall be permitted on the base course until a single-surface treatment has
been applied. A true section free from depressions and irregular edges shall
result.
(4)
Using a mechanical spreader, spread a uniform three-and-one-half-inch
loose layer of clean one-and-one-half-inch crushed stone over the full width
of the pavement.
(5)
Roll with a ten-ton roller until well keyed with a good,
uniform mechanical look.
(6)
Apply a uniform application of RT-8 or RT-10 at the rate
of 1.50 gallons per square yard.
(7)
Uniformly spread with a gravity-type mechanical spreader
about 25 pounds of clean one-half-inch crushed stone or crushed gravel per
square yard to fill voids only.
(8)
Broom to distribute stone evenly and roll with a ten-ton
roller.
(9)
The surface course shall consist of a double-surface
treatment.
(10)
Apply a uniform application of RT-4 to the base course
at the rate of 0.50 gallons per square yard.
(11)
Uniformly spread with a gravity-type mechanical spreader
about 25 pounds of clean one-half-inch crushed stone or crushed gravel per
square yard.
(12)
Broom to distribute evenly and roll with a ten-ton roller.
(13)
Apply a uniform application of RT-8 or RT-10 at the rate
of 0.5 gallons per square yard.
(14)
Uniformly spread with a gravity-type mechanical spreader
about 25 pounds of clean one-half-inch crushed stone or crushed gravel per
square yard and roll with a ten-ton roller.
B.
Asphaltic concrete: Alternative No. 2 for base and surface
courses.
(1)
After the foundation course has been completed as the
applicable sections of these regulations dictate and to the satisfaction of
the Village Engineer, the developer shall construct a base course of clean,
dry one-half-inch crushed stone. The stone shall be evenly spread by means
of an approved mechanical spreader in such quantities that after being compacted
with a ten-ton roller the thickness of the course shall be four inches for
minor and marginal streets and five inches for major, arterial and collector
streets.
(3)
After the stone base course has been completed and only
between the dates of May 15 and October 15, and when the stone is dry and
clean and free of frost and the atmospheric temperature is above 50° F.,
bituminous material shall be applied to the base course by means of a pressure
distribution at the rate of not less than 1/2 gallon of bituminous material
per square yard per inch of compacted thickness of stone, but in no event
less than two gallons per square yard. Bituminous material shall be 100 to
120 penetration paving asphalt heated to a temperature of 275° F. to 350°
F. Immediately after the application of the bituminous material and while
the liquid is still warm and in a tacky condition, the surface of the base
course shall be filled with clean, dry five-eighths-inch stone, after which
it shall be thoroughly rolled with a ten-ton roller. Additional stone shall
be applied and broomed about the surface during rolling until all voids in
the surface of the stone base course are completely filled. Rolling shall
continue until the cover stone is thoroughly keyed to the bitumen. Surplus
stone shall then be removed from the surface.
(4)
After the base course has been completed to the satisfaction
of the Village Engineer, a two-course bituminous concrete surface course shall
be constructed.
(5)
After the base course has been thoroughly cured and cleaned
of all foreign material, a bituminous concrete binder course shall be spread
by a self-propelled mechanical spreader with tamping bars and heating unit
in sufficient depth as to provide a finished, compacted thickness after rolling
of not less than 1 1/2 inches. The course in place shall be thoroughly
rolled with a ten-ton roller.
(6)
After the binder course has been completed and thoroughly
cleaned of foreign material and a tack coat of asphalt emulsion applied to
the surface at the rate of 0.10 to 0.05 gallons per square yard in the event
that the binder course has been subjected to traffic for an extended period
of time, a final wearing course of fine bituminous concrete shall be uniformly
spread by a self-propelled mechanical spreader equipped with tamping bars
and heating unit in sufficient depth as to provide a finished, compacted thickness
after rolling of not less than one inch. The fine wearing course in place
shall be thoroughly compacted with a ten-ton roller.
(7)
The Village Engineer shall reserve the right to inspect
the pavement construction during or between applications of the foundation,
base and surface courses.
