Grading And Paving Specifications. All streets and alleys shall be graded to the full width of their rights-of-way, unless otherwise approved by the Commission.
Each of the following steps shall be done in sequence:
1. 
Preparation of the subgrade. Before grading is commenced, the entire area of the right-of-way shall be cleared of all tree stumps, roots, brush and other objectional materials and of all trees not intended for preservation. The subgrade shall be properly shaped, rolled and uniformly compacted to conform with the accepted cross section and grades.
2. 
Cuts. In cuts, all tree stumps, boulders, organic material, soft clay, spongy material and other objectionable materials shall be removed to a depth of at least two (2) feet below the graded surface. Loose or weathered rock, when encountered, shall be scarified to a depth of at least twelve (12) inches below the graded surface. Minimum slopes shall be as follows:
Height of cut or fill in street
Earth slope, horizontal to vertical for types of terrain
Flat
Medium Steep

3. 
Fills. In fills, all tree stumps, boulders, organic material, soft clay, spongy material and other objectionable material shall be removed to a depth of at least two (2) feet below the natural ground subrace. All such material as well as similar matter from cuts shall be removed from the right-of-way area and disposed of in such manner that it will not become incorporated in fills or hinder proper operation of the drainage system. All suitable material from roadway cuts may be used in the construction of fills, approaches or at other places as needed. The standard for compaction of such fills should be either Standard Proctor of AASHTO T99 determined for the average soil condition along the work area. Also, the top eight (8) inches of subgrade, whether in cut, fill or at grade, should be compacted (as above) following scarification of cut and at-grade areas.
B. 
Minimum Pavement Widths. The minimum pavement width of a street shall be twenty-four (24) feet.
C. 
Pavement Specifications Of Streets. Street pavements shall be constructed in conformity with the applicable engineering and material specification sections contained in Divisions 200, 300, 400 and 500 of the St. Louis County Standard Specifications for Highway Construction (1997) in conjunction with the 2004 Edition of the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. The Commission will consider equal specifications to the above, provided that the subdivider submits his/her complete plans and specifications for road pavements including, but not necessarily limited, to the subgrading, aggregate, fill, subgrade depth, pavement depth and material specifications for review by the City Engineer. In addition, the subdivider's will agree to pay all incidental fees required for this review. Should the City Engineer find the subdivider's specifications inadequate and/or not equal to the above-referenced standards, the subdivider will resubmit amended specifications until at such time the City Engineer approves them. Specifications are on file at the City.
D. 
Curbs And Gutters. Curbs and gutters shall be provided unless deemed unnecessary by the Commission for the proper drainage of stormwater. Where required, the specifications for curbs and gutters shall be as contained in the applicable engineering and materials specifications section of Division 600 of the St. Louis County Standard Specifications for Highway Construction in accordance with the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. In no case will asphalt curbs and gutters be acceptable to the Commission. Backfill shall be higher than the curb and shall slope toward the curb in order to insure that surface water drains into the storm drainage system, unless topographical conditions of the slope do not warrant it.
[Sub. Regs. §483.160; Ord. No. 343 §1, 5-29-1979]

The size of openings to be provided shall comply with the requirements of the Pevely stormwater ordinance but in no case shall the pipe be less than sixteen (16) inches in diameter. The design of the storm drainage system shall be based on a three (3) inches per hour maximum rainfall intensity. Where any natural watercourse is to be disturbed or blocked, adequate provisions shall be made to handle the water. Cross drains shall be built on straight line and grade and shall be laid on a firm base, but not on rock. Pipes shall be laid with their spigot ends pointing in the direction of the flow and with their ends fitted and matched to provide tight joints and a smooth uniform invert. They shall be placed at a sufficient depth below the roadbed to avoid dangerous pressure of impact and in no case shall the top of the pipe be less than one (1) foot below the roadbed.
