[Adopted 1-18-1971 by Ord. No. 393
as Ch. 62, Art. I, of the 1971 Code]
[Amended 6-28-2005 by Ord. No. 1609]
No map or plat which dedicates any street or
road to public use shall be approved for filing by the Township Council
of the Township of Galloway, and no street or road heretofore or hereafter
dedicated to public use shall be accepted by the Township Council
of the Township of Galloway, unless and until the following minimum
specifications shall be fulfilled or a surety company bond in the
amount sufficient for such construction as approved by the Township
Engineer shall be filed with the proper authorities of the township.
[Added 9-28-1999 by Ord. No. 1407]
The township requires that, for any improvement
to existing unimproved street right-of-way (paper street) that is
not part of a Planning Board application, the applicant for development
must submit plans for review and comment to the Development Review
Committee of the Planning Board prior to township approval.
A.
Clearing. For the full width of the right-of-way,
the ground surface shall be cleared of trees, brush, roots, debris
and other unsuitable matter before construction work is commenced.
Materials accumulated by clearing, grubbing and cleaning up as above
described shall be burned or otherwise disposed of at locations outside
of the limits of the street.
B.
Fill. Materials used for fill shall be suitable therefor
and shall be free from stumps, woods, brush, roots, sod, rubbish,
garbage and other matter that may decay. The fill shall be formed
in successive layers not more than 12 inches deep, and each layer
shall be compacted by operating the construction equipment over it
until it is firm and unyielding before the next layer is placed.
C.
Gravel. The roadway shall be constructed of gravel
to a width of 3/5 of the total width of the right-of-way and shall
be centered in the right-of-way. Gravel base shall be of a compacted
depth of six inches. Gravel shall be from glacial deposits and shall
be hard, durable pebbles, mixed with sand and clay, so that the material
can be compacted into a hard, dense mass. It shall conform to the
requirements of the New Jersey State Highway Department Standard Specifications,
Division 3, Section 1. The subbase shall be in a properly finished
condition and not wet or frozen when the gravel course is about to
be placed thereon. The construction of the gravel course shall start
at the point nearest the source of supply, and the construction trucks
shall be operated over the newly placed gravel in a manner that will
tend to give uniform compaction over the entire width of the pavement.
The gravel shall be spread on the full width of the roadway in a uniform
layer of the proper depth. After being spread, the gravel shall be
scraped, and the scraping shall continue at intervals as the gravel
is being consolidated by the construction equipment, until it is thoroughly
compacted. The finished pavement shall be thoroughly compacted and
bound together, hard, smooth and even, free from defects and at the
proper grade and contour.

D.
Bituminous concrete pavement.
[Amended 2-20-1967 by Ord. No. 328]
(1)
The minimum acceptable standard for street paving
shall be a two-inch bituminous concrete, Type FABC-1 pavement. The
materials used and the method of construction shall conform to the
requirements therefor specified in the New Jersey State Highway Department
Standard Specifications, Division 3, Section 10.
(2)
Article 3.10.2, Materials, shall be amended to permit
the use of three-eighths-inch washed pebbles as a coarse aggregate.
(3)
The contractor shall properly prepare the subgrade
for the full width of the pavement and it shall conform to the crown
as shown on the cross section and as directed by the Engineer. No
bituminous concrete pavement shall be laid until the existing subbase
has been prepared and thoroughly compacted by the use of an approved
roller.
(4)
Care shall be used to avoid damage to manholes, curbs,
gutters and other existing structures or improvements in the roadway.
