[Ord. No. 1457 §110, 1-5-1999]
All improvements required under these regulations shall be constructed in accordance with the specifications and under the supervision of the official having jurisdiction in the manner prescribed below.
[Ord. No. 1457 §110.02, 1-5-1999]
Prior to the construction of the improvements referred to above, the developer shall furnish the Planning and Zoning Commission with a corporate surety performance bond running to the City of Versailles or other security acceptable to the Planning and Zoning Commission sufficient to cover the developer's proportion of the costs, as estimated by the developer's consultant or subject to approval, as the case may be, of any or all of the improvements required to be installed, thereby to assure the actual construction and installation of such improvements immediately after final approval of the final plat or at a time and according to the requirements of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
[Ord. No. 1457 §110.03, 1-5-1999; Ord. No. 16-002 §§1 — 2, 1-12-2016; Ord. No. 21-002, 2-10-2021[1]]
A. 
Width For Street Construction.
[Ord. No. 22-007, 4-12-2022]
1. 
Residential. Streets shall have a minimum right-of-way width of forty (40) feet and shall have a third layer in width of no less than twenty (20) feet.
2. 
Commercial. Streets shall have a minimum right-of-way width of fifty (50) feet and shall have a third layer in width of no less than thirty (30) feet.
B. 
Sub-Grade Preparation.
1. 
The proposed road bed should have all vegetation and topsoil stripped from the area down to suitable clay materials that can be graded and compacted. Clearing shall consist of complete removal of all trees, stumps, down timber, fencing, snags, brush, and any debris not consistent with the clay. Debris should be disposed of at a proper site, and should not be buried on site.
2. 
The sub-grade shall be substantially uniform in density throughout the entire width of the sub-grade. The sub-grade shall have a minimum of eight (8) inches of two-inch base rock and four (4) inches of one-inch base rock for residential streets and twelve (12) inches of two-inch base rock and four (4) inches of one-inch base rock for commercial streets. The road bed should be constructed in a manner to drain surface water to the side ditches or curbs. All road beds should have a two percent (2%) crown or three percent (3%) slope in corners with super-elevation to allow for proper street draining.
3. 
All sub-grade shall be rolled. The sub-grade shall be checked after rolling for proper elevation requirements, sufficient material shall be removed or added and compacted to bring the sub-grade to required elevation and density. Density shall reach ninety-five percent (95%) of maximum density. Sub-grade elevation must be within one-half (1/2) inch of proposed grades.
4. 
After density has been achieved the road bed shall be proof rolled with a loaded tandem dump truck. The truck shall be loaded with no less then fourteen (14) tons (28,000 lbs.). The proof roll shall be performed by driving the truck up and down the road bed in its lowest gear at a walking pace, moving across the road bed in several passes to cover the entire road bed. The Street Commissioner shall observe the road bed for deflection (movement) as the wheels pass over. Any deflection of more then one (1) inch shall be addressed by removing the soft area and bringing in suitable material that shall be graded and compacted.
5. 
Soft areas shall be removed to a minimum depth of eight (8) inches for residential roads and a minimum depth of twelve (12) inches and a maximum depth of twenty-four (24) inches for all roads. If the maximum depth is reached that the sub-grade is still not suitable it may be necessary to use geo-grid and shot rock to stabilize the area. Replacement material should be installed in 6-inch lifts and compacted to ensure a solid bed.
C. 
Aggregate Base Course.
1. 
This work shall consist of furnishing and placing a graded aggregate material over a prepared sub-grade and grading and compacting that material in preparation for pavement.
2. 
Material for this work shall conform to MODOT gradations and shall be Type 1 or 5 aggregate base material and shall be crushed stone that has been properly screened and graded.
3. 
Material shall be placed on the prepared road bed and compacted to a density of ninety-five percent (95%) of maximum density.
4. 
Grading of the material should match the grade of sub-grade with a crown of two percent (2%) and maximum slope of three percent (3%) on super elevations. This should be checked after compaction is complete and should be within one-fourth (1/4) inch of the proposed grade.
5. 
After density has been achieved the aggregate shall be proof rolled with a loaded tandem dump truck. The truck should be loaded with no less than fourteen (14) tons (28,000 lbs.). The proof roll shall be performed by driving the truck up and down the road bed in its lowest gear at a walking pace, moving across the road bed in several passes to cover the entire road bed. The Street Commissioner shall observe the aggregate base for deflection (movement) as the wheels pass over. Any deflection of more than one (1) inch shall be addressed by removing the soft area and bringing in suitable materials that shall be graded and compacted.
D. 
Bituminous Pavement.
1. 
Bituminous pavement shall be placed on the prepared road bed by placing mixture with a self-propelled asphalt paver and compacted with self-propelled rollers capable of reaching desired compaction.
2. 
Bituminous material shall conform to MODOT Section 401. It shall consist of a final compacted 3-inch layer of Bituminous Base Course (Bit Base) and a final compacted 2-inch layer of Bituminous Pavement-1 (BP-1). A tack coat shall be placed between the Bit Base lift and the BP-1 lift with a material that conforms to MODOT specifications for Tack Coat.
3. 
The Bituminous pavement shall be placed with a self-propelled asphalt paver and shall follow the crown and grade established by the aggregate base course.
4. 
Uniform compaction shall be achieved with a self-propelled roller to a minimum density of ninety-two percent (92%) of theoretical maximum specific gravity. Density can be tested using either an approved filed gauge or by cutting cores and testing the cores.
E. 
Concrete.
1. 
Residential streets that are paved with concrete shall be no less than six (6) inches in depth with concrete at a strength of four thousand (4,000) to five thousand (5,000) psi, with one-half (1/2) inch rebar placed two (2) foot on center.
2. 
Commercial streets that are paved with concrete shall be no less than eight (8) inches in depth with concrete at a strength of four thousand (4,000) to five thousand (5,000) psi, with one-half (1/2) inch rebar placed two (2) foot on center.
