A.
No streets
which have not been accepted by the City of Trenton or new streets
laid out and provided for in the new subdivisions or plats of the
City of Trenton, Missouri, constructed by contractors, land developers
or other persons within the City limits of the City of Trenton, Missouri,
or adjacent areas proposed for and later added to the City of Trenton,
Missouri, shall be constructed or accepted for maintenance by the
City of Trenton, Missouri, or its Street Supervisor unless the streets
shall meet the following minimum standards of construction.
1.
Street width. Thirty (30) feet as measured from back of
curb to back of curb for through streets. Twenty-eight (28) feet as
measured from curb to back of curb for cul-de-sac streets.
2.
Integral
curb and gutter twenty-four (24) inches width on both sides of pavement.
Curb will be constructed to maintain proper water flow in gutter section.
Curb shall be a minimum height of eleven (11) inches on back side
and six (6) inches on front (pavement). Intersection radii to be constructed
on a minimum of twenty (20) foot radius.
3.
Subgrade standards. Due to the nonavailability of testing
equipment for subgrade compaction, subgrade will be compacted in accordance
with the Asphalt Institute Information Series No. 96 (IS-96) Manual
(December 1981), which states subgrade will be compacted and should
not have any deflections noted if heavily loaded truck is driven over
it. An area showing pronounced deflection is not adequately compacted
and either has not been rolled enough or the soil moisture content
is too high. If additional rolling does not correct the unstable condition,
the subgrade should be scarified to a depth of at least six (6) inches,
aerated and recompacted.
4.
Residential streets. Minimum base requirements shall be
three (3) inches of asphaltic concrete conforming to Missouri State
Highway Department Specifications Manual (1981), Section 301, entitled

for residential streets with asphaltic concrete base will be a two
(2) inch thickness of asphaltic concrete of Grade C or D conforming

Section 401, entitled Plant Mix Bituminous Pavement.
b.
Alternative
minimum base and surface requirements shall have four (4) inch depth
water bound compacted rolled stone. Stone shall pass a one and one-half
(1½) inch square mesh screen. Surfaces for stone base will

structural design for a residential street may have six (6) inches
of concrete pavement slab using local aggregates of three-quarter
(3/4) inch or one (1) inch and a 6-bag mix, not over a three (3) inch
slump and five to seven percent (5 — 7%) air test, placed on
a compacted subgrade.
d.
Except
for construction joints which divide paving work into convenient increments,
longitudinal and transverse joints will be used to keep stress within
safe limits and thereby prevent formation of irregular cracks. Longitudinal
construction joints will be in the middle of the street. Sawed transverse
joints will be at no more than twenty (20) foot intervals. Sawed joints
will be sawed no deeper than one-quarter (¼) of the thickness
of pavement.
5.
Feeder street. Minimum base requirements shall be five (5)
inches of asphaltic concrete conforming to Missouri State Highway
Specifications Manual (1981), Section 301, entitled Plant Mix bituminous
Base Course.

to true alignment and grade, and plans shall be submitted to the City
Council of Trenton, Missouri, for its approval showing center line
profile of street, street paving width, type of curb and gutter with
design details. Curb and gutter requirements may be waived upon determination
by City Administrator and Street Supervisor.
9.
Asphalt
base thickness shall be increased or may be decreased as determined
by the City Administrator or Street Supervisor.
B.

of this Section shall be guilty of an ordinance violation and upon
