[Ord. No. 11-2I 118 §1, 5-12-2016]
A. 
Street Construction. City streets shall be constructed in accordance with the City of Farmington, Missouri, General Conditions and Technical Specifications for Public Improvements.
1. 
The streets are to be constructed of Portland cement concrete with integral curb (or concrete curb and gutter) or bituminous plant mix roadway with a concrete curb and gutter. Alley pavement shall be of either asphalt or concrete design, with an inverted crown and the curb omitted. Asphaltic streets will require a wearing course on "full depth" asphalt base.
2. 
Subbase, aggregate base, asphalt and concrete compacted thicknesses are shown below in Table VII-1.

3. 
Subgrade soil inspection shall consist of following two (2) methods:
a. 
Moisture and density control. When compaction of embankment is a requirement of the contract and testing has been specified as a pay item AASHTO T99 testing procedures shall be used to determine the field density of the constructed embankment for the following conditions with all results being reported to the City:
(1) 
Embankment in place (cut section). Subgrade is to be scarified to a depth of six (6) inches below grade for a distance of two (2) feet beyond the proposed edge of pavement and compacted to a minimum of ninety-five percent (95%) maximum density. The rate of density testing shall be a minimum of one (1) test per five hundred (500) linear feet of roadway.
(2) 
Borrow material (fill section). When embankment construction requires imported material, that material shall be placed in lose lifts with a maximum thickness of eight (8) inches and compacted to a minimum of ninety percent (90%) maximum density to within eighteen (18) inches of top layer of subgrade which shall require a minimum ninety-five percent (95%) maximum density. Testing frequency shall be one (1) test per five hundred (500) linear feet of roadway.
b. 
Visual Inspection. When compaction of embankment is a requirement of the contract but has not been specified as a pay item the contractor shall distribute all equipment movements over the entire embankment area. Prior to placement of aggregate sub-base the City shall be contacted to visually observe proof-rolling operations consisting, at a minimum, of a single-axle dump truck with a minimum load of ten (10) cubic yards of crushed rock material. If any area(s) are determined by the City to be substandard the City will be responsible for delineating the extent of the substandard areas and the contractor shall remove and replace all designated areas with suitable fill material as determined by the City. Compactive efforts shall continue, if necessary, until the City approves all areas of embankment.
c. 
Prior to construction of street or alley pavements, adequate surface and subsurface drainage facilities, if required, are to be installed by the developer. Design requirements are found in Article VI. All drainage facilities shall be sized and specified by a professional engineer, registered in the State of Missouri.
B. 
Roadway Sections. Typical roadway sections showing various widths of roadway and right-of-way and required thickness are as shown on Standard Drawing ST-1 included in these design standards. Primary arterials are not included in these design standards since such projects require individual study.
C. 
Street Design. In the preparation of street design, the following criteria must be observed. These controls are intended to be the absolute minimum (or maximum) permitted. Any design not meeting this requirement must have prior approval. Road classification greater than those listed will require a special design to meet current AASHTO Standards.
1. 
Longitudinal grades - minimum one percent (1%) all classifications - maximum:
Secondary Arterial
5%
Collector
8%
Local

Alleys

2. 
Vertical curves. The length of vertical curves shall be no less than that determined by the formula:
L = KA, where:
L = Length of vertical curve
A = Algebraic difference in grades
K = Determined by following table:

Minimum length of super-elevation runout = 100 feet
4. 
Reverse curves/street jogs. Between reverse curves on secondary arterial streets, there shall be a tangent of not less than one hundred (100) feet. On collector and local streets there shall be a tangent of not less than forty (40) feet. Street jogs with centerline offsets less than one hundred twenty-five (125) feet shall be avoided.

8. 
Intersections. All curb returns shall be designed with a wheel chair ramp meeting the requirements of Standard Drawings ST-6 and ST-7. No drainage structures shall be allowed in the wheelchair path. Intersections shall be approached on all sides by leveling areas. Where the approach grade for either or both streets exceed three percent (3%), the leveling area shall be a minimum length of one hundred (100) feet measured from the intersection of the edge of gutter flag or edge of road, within which no grade shall exceed a maximum of three percent (3%) with a maximum crossfall of six (6) inches at the throat of the radius returns of the intersecting street. Right angle intersections shall be used whenever practicable. When local streets intersect collector or arterial streets, the angle of intersection of the street centerlines shall not be less than seventy-five degrees (75°). A diagonal sight distance easement must be provided as shown Table VII-3, Right-of-Way Triangle Requirements, on the property lines substantially parallel to the chord of the curb radius.
9. 
Elevations at street intersections shall be computed by extending curb grades to the point of intersection (P.I.) of the intersection of curbs. A minimum of three tenths (0.3) foot fall around a curb return is required. Elevations at every ten (10) feet around the curb return and centerline stationing at all radius points shall be shown on the plan. All pavement stationing shall be shown using face of curb data.
10. 
Turnaround provisions. Dead-end street centerline length shall not exceed one hundred fifty (150) feet without a turnaround complying with Table VII-2 and VII-3.
11. 
Temporary turnaround provisions. Except as otherwise provided herein, temporary dead-end streets may be approved where necessitated by the layout of the subdivision or staging of development; provided that such temporary unpaved turnarounds shall be constructed where lots are fronting on such temporary dead-end street. The additional width of the right-of-way required for such temporary turnaround shall be the same as that required for permanent turnarounds. The extra right-of-way in excess of the street right-of-way shall be vacated upon extension of the temporary street and the reconditioning of said street and front yards concerned shall be at the expense of the developer.
12. 
Culs-de-sac. Information for the design of culs-de-sac is shown on Standard Drawing ST-9.
13. 
Expansion joints. Expansion joints in concrete paving shall be placed as shown on Standard Drawing ST-5 at intersections (unless otherwise shown on plans) and at all structures crossing the roadway such as bridges, box culverts, etc. Expansion joints are required around junction boxes, inlets, etc.
14. 
Contraction joints. Contraction joints in concrete paving shall be placed as shown on Standard Drawing ST-5 at intervals of not more than twenty-five (25) feet and not more than twenty-five (25) feet from any expansion joint. Contraction joints shall be without dowels unless otherwise specified on plans.
15. 
Longitudinal joints. Longitudinal joints shall be placed meeting the requirements of Standard Drawing ST-5.
16. 
Approaches to existing streets. All approaches to existing curb and gutter streets shall be Portland cement concrete to the radius points.
17. 
Traffic circulation. Certain proposed streets, where appropriate, shall be extended to the boundary of the tract to be subdivided so as to provide for normal circulation of traffic within the vicinity.
18. 
Marginal access streets. Whenever the subdivision contains or is adjacent to a railroad right-of-way or a highway designated as a "Limited Access Highway" by the appropriate highway authorities, provision shall be made for a marginal access street, or a parallel street at a distance acceptable for the appropriate use of the land between the highway or railroad and such streets.
