ORDINANCE NO. 2002-______
AN
ORDINANCE RELATED TO THE AMENDMENT
OF THE GEORGETOWN/SCOTT COUNTY SUBDIVISION
& DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS REGARDING PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE ROAD
CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN STANDARDS
WHEREAS:
The existing Subdivision & Development Regulations requirements are
not satisfying the community’s needs regarding design and construction of
roads, right-of-ways and related structures.
The regulation requirements must be updated to reflect the current
professional thinking and reduce existing problems with road maintenance and
durability by establishing a uniform design standard for proposed public and
private roads, including design capacity and loading.
The intent of this proposed ordinance is to provide an appropriate means
to maintain the integrity and durability of existing and proposed roads within
the community and to reduce the potential negative impacts on the residents of
the City of
Georgetown
and the
City Council
WHEREAS: This proposed
amendment to the Georgetown/Scott County Subdivision & Development
Regulations has been submitted to the citizens through a properly advertised
public hearing before the Georgetown-Scott County Planning and Zoning Commission
conducted at their June 12, 2003 and July 10, 2003 public meetings.
The Commission voted unanimously to recommend the adoption of this
amendment to the Council for the City of
Georgetown
.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY
THE
COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF
GEORGETOWN,
KENTUCKY, as follows:

a traffic analysis to demonstrate to the Planning Commission's
satisfaction that the distribution of traffic to the existing or proposed street
system will not exceed the adopted Transportation Element standards for any
street.
C.
ROADWAY WIDTHS
Except for privately owned streets, roadway width standards are shown in
exhibit 10-1, and apply to all developments with urban density, with the
following exception. For
developments in A-1 zones, minimum roadway widths for new roads shall be 18 feet
between face of curb or edge of pavement. Shoulders,
where needed, shall be 2 feet each side plus ditches designed by Manning’s
formula with trapezoidal or
parabolic ditches designed per Storm Water
Ordinance 2002-026, 2002-07 for open channel design.
D.
CURBS AND GUTTERS
1. Curbing is required on all urban streets for the purposes of drainage,
safety, and delineation and protection of pavement edge.
2. Curbing shall be designed to
provide ramps for wheelchairs at all street intersections with sidewalks with a
minimum of one for every corner, and as required by state law.
3. Curbs
and gutters are to be built to the following specifications:
a) Construct
all curb and gutter on a prepared subgrade to the dimensions and design as in
the approved construction plans and/or standard drawings.
b)
All
Concrete shall have class “A” specifications.
c) Sawed
contraction joints shall be constructed every 20 feet with a minimum depth of 3
inches in accordance with the Kentucky
Department of Highways Standard Specifications, Current Edition.
d) Expansion
joints shall be constructed at all breaks in alignment, at contact with new or
existing concrete, at all drainage inlets, at the beginning and ending points of
curves, and not to exceed 200’ maximum spacing for slip form application and
30’ maximum spacing for hand placed.
e) Maintain
concrete at a minimum temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 calendar days
after placement and at a minimum temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit for an
additional 4 calendar days. When the
Planning Commission Engineer requires, submit a written outline of the method to
be used for protecting concrete. The
Planning Commission Engineer, and or Development Inspector reserve the right to
discontinue concrete placement when the means of protection or method of
placement does not produce satisfactory results.
Do not place concrete during times of the year that the temperatures may
be expected to drop below the 45 or 40 degrees Fahrenheit limits, unless there
are adequate provisions at the job site for maintaining concrete at the
specified temperature.
f) Immediately
after completing finishing operations and the concrete has set sufficiently to
prevent marring the surface, cure the entire surface of the newly placed
concrete, including the face of all construction joints.
Cure according to one of the following methods:
i) White Membrane Curing:
(Type 2, Class “A” or “B”) Ensure
that all curing compounds conform to AASHTO M 148.
ii) Wet Burlap:
Thoroughly wet the burlap before placing.
Carefully place the burlap over the finished surface to completely cover
the surface and sides of the slab. Clean
the burlap of all coating of earth or other deleterious substances before using
it. Soak new burlap in water for 12
hours before using. During the first
six hours a single thickness of burlap will be required.
After the first six hours, use a double thickness.
Overlap adjacent burlap strips at least 3 inches.
Keep the burlap thoroughly saturated and in place for at least 72 hours
even when required strength is attained.
iii) Curing Blankets:
Keep the concrete continuously damp for the period of time specified for
the item being constructed, beginning immediately after placing and finishing.
As soon as possible, without damaging the concrete surface, moisten the
concrete by applying water, and immediately cover the surface with the curing
blankets. Place the blankets so that
the adjoining blankets overlap at least 18 inches.
Weight all laps and outside edges to prevent displacement of the blankets
before completing curing. Ensure
intimate contact between the blankets and the concrete surface.
Use curing blankets that consist of a top layer of white copolymer
material and a bottom layer of absorbent, non-woven, synthetic fabric.
Ensure that the layers are securely bonded together so there will be no
separation of the layers during handling and curing of the concrete.
When tested according to AASHTO M 171, ensure that moisture loss does not
exceed 0.010 grams per square centimeter and that reflectance is at least 70
percent.
iv) Wet Curing: Cure concrete for a
period of at least 7 calendar days, beginning immediately after placement and
finishing, by frequently applying water to all surfaces to keep them
continuously damp during the full 7-calendar day curing period or until the
required strength is attained. Protect
exposed concrete surfaces from drying by application of a double thickness of
wet burlap or similar approved material and keep the burlap or other approved
material continuously wet for a period of 7 or more days.
Soak new burlap in water for at least 12 hours before the first use.
g)
Proposed
curbing to be dedicated to the City of
Georgetown
shall be:
i)
box
curb
ii)
shall be placed on a minimum of 6 inches of granular base material (DGA/CSB).
E.

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
1. All developments shall be required to provide adequate pedestrian access
to parking lots, off-site sidewalks, and facilities commonly used by residents.
2. In all urban subdivisions or subdivisions with urban densities (lot sizes
of up to 1.0 acre or provide for densities greater than 1 dwelling unit per
acre), sidewalks shall be installed on both sides of all proposed roads, public
or private. Sidewalks shall be extended around the full length of any cul-de-sac
or other approved turn-around. Sidewalks
shall be placed in the right-of-way, parallel to the street, unless an exception
has been permitted to preserve historically significant, topographical or
natural features or to provide visual interest, or unless the applicant shows
that an alternative pedestrian system provides safe and convenient circulation.
The Planning Commission may waive this requirement and permit the
installation of the sidewalk on only one side with the location to be reviewed
and approved by the Planning Director and/or Planning Commission Engineer.
The Planning Commission may permit an exception to allow sidewalks to
abut the curb where the intent is to create an urban atmosphere in townhouse, or
similar, development and in neighborhood or downtown business zones, if the
arrangement ensures pedestrian safety (amended per ordinance 2000-016).
3. Pedestrian-way easements ten (10) feet wide may be required by the
Planning
Commission where
reasonably needed to provide circulation or access to schools,
parks, shopping,
or other community
facilities.
4.
Sidewalks and pedestrian ways
shall be constructed according to the specifications set forth in Appendix VII
and
the following specifications:
a) Construct all
sidewalks on a prepared subgrade to the dimensions and design as in the approved
construction plans and or standard drawings.
b) Expansion
joints shall be placed at thirty-two foot intervals.
In existing neighborhoods,
expansion material shall be placed at the beginning and end of newly constructed
areas (sidewalk/curb and gutter with grass utility strip). When the sidewalk is
constructed integral with the curb, ensure that the width and spacing of the
joints conform to that in the curb. Round
the edges of the sidewalk at all expansion joints with an approved edging tool
to a ¼ inch radius. Install ½ inch
premolded expansion joint material to the full depth of the sidewalk where the
sidewalk abuts any rigid structure or fixture, such as curbs, columns, castings,
buildings, and light standards.
c) Divide the
surfaces of sidewalks into rectangular areas by means of a jointer having a
radius of ¼ inch and forming a groove no less than one inch in depth for the
full width of the walk. Ensure that
the length of the rectangles formed does not exceed the width to the sidewalk
being constructed. Sawed joints will
need to be completed no later than one day following the end of the curing
period.
d) The sidewalks
shall be placed adjacent to the street right-of-way line.
Slope toward curb shall be one quarter ( ¼) of an inch to the foot.
Construction in existing neighborhoods requires the contractor to match
existing grade and sidewalk width unless specified otherwise by the Planning
Commission Engineer. Distance will
vary with road cross-section when conforming to detail of (sidewalk/curb and
gutter with grass utility strip).
e) All Concrete
shall have class “A” specifications.
f) Concrete
curing for sidewalks and pedestrian ways are to conform to the specifications
listed in Article X, Section 1000, part D.
of Subdivision and Development
Regulations.
H.
RIGHT-OF-WAY
1. The right-of-way shall be measured from lot line to lot line.
Right-of-way requirements are shown in Exhibit 10-1.
2. The right-of-way width shall not change along the width of any street,
unless it can be demonstrated that the change will not reduce the level of
service of the street or cause incompatibility of setbacks.
3. Where development includes
proposed public streets, or streets planned in the
Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, required right-of-way
widths
shall be dedicated pursuant to Article XIII (Dedication and Maintenance).
I.
STREET GRADE, PAVEMENT AND
INTERSECTION SPECIFICATIONS
Street
grade and intersection specifications are included in Appendix VI. Pavement
design shall conform to the specifications shown in Appendix VI (Note:
Pavement design of state roads shall meet state standards.)
The following standards are minimum and do not cover every possible
situation. Designers are required to use professional judgement in all of their
designs.
1.
Proposed
streets are to conform to the following standards in Table 2.
2.
All proposed
pavement thickness to adhere to the following standards:
a) Designs are
to be based on AASHTO Guide for Design of
Pavement Structures, 1993 for a 20 year design life.
b) Structural
numbers for residential single family detached, attached, and multi-family
developments are to be based on 300 Estimated Single Axle Loadings (ESALs) per
unit.
c) Structural
numbers for commercial and industrial areas are to meet the minimum ESALs listed
in Table 3.
d) Pavement
designs are to be based on
California
Bearing
Ratio tests (CBRs) from samples taken from the material that will be used for
the road subgrade.
e) The minimum
pavement specification for proposed streets within the City of
Georgetown
is 8 inches
base material, 3 inches of asphalt base or binder, and 1 inch of asphalt surface
(8,3,1). For proposed roadways within

h) Proposed
concrete pavements are to adhere to the minimum standards:
i) Slab
thickness designs are to be based on AASHTO
Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, 1993 for a 20 year design life.
ii) A minimum
4 inch, base course, 5 inch slab thickness required.
iii) Joint
details pertaining to dimensions, types, and configurations are to be provided.
iv)
Reinforcement designs are to be included for all proposed rigid pavement
designs.
3. All proposed
roadways must conform to the following minimum construction standards:
a)
Subgrade
construction
i) Subgrade
areas for all proposed roadways are to be thoroughly compacted to the
specifications listed in this article and the approved construction drawings.
ii) No
organic material to be permitted in any roadway subgrade.
iii) All
roadway subgrades are to have
California
Bearing
Ratio (CBR) tests performed. Tests are to be representative of the site.
iv) Compact
the subgrade and embankments to a density of at least 95 percent of standard
proctor. During compaction, maintain
the moisture content of embankment or subgrade material within ± 2 percent of
the optimum moisture content. Compact
each lift as required before depositing for the next lift.
Soil is to be compacted in lifts not exceeding one foot unless directed
otherwise by the design engineer.
v) The
cross slope of the proposed subgrade is to be ¼ inch per foot fall, except in
cases of superelevated crowns.
vi) Finished
subgrades must be proof rolled with a loaded 20 ton vehicle, minimum. All lanes
and cul-de-sac areas are to be rolled tested. Proof roll test is only applicable
prior to any increase in moisture content due to weather conditions or other
water-related circumstances, for example, rain, snow, waterline breaks,
groundwater intrusion, etc.
vii) If
pumping or rutting of the subgrade occurs, then the noted area is to be
remediated by one of the following means:
1) Synthetic:
geotextiles.
2) Mechanical:
replacing unacceptable material with #2 stone (open graded material is to be
separated with KYTC Type II fabric from the subgrade and drained off). The
minimum layer thickness shall be 8 inches of #2 stone.
3) Chemical:
lime stabilization, etc.
4) Reworking
existing material: if material ruts during proof roll then this method is
unacceptable; also after material is reworked it is subject to another proof
roll test.
viii) At
any given time, the Planning Commission Engineer can require verification that
the remediation method meets the design parameters based on the subgrade
conditions in the field.
b)
Base material
i)
Base
material for all proposed roadways is to be either Dense Graded Aggregated or
Crushed Stone Base (DGA/CSB, as defined by the
Kentucky
Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).
ii) Each lift
of DGA base material is not to exceed 6” maximum.
After each subsequent lift string line will be pulled to check for proper
depth and cross slope (1/4 inch per foot fall).
Each lift will also require a check of the density and moisture content.
The density shall be 84% of solid volume, or 140 lbs. per cubic foot.
The acceptable moisture content range shall be from 3% to 5%.
iii) Before
constructing a CSB base, complete a control strip to determine the level of
compaction necessary to achieve the target density for the remaining base
course. Construct additional control
strips whenever a change is made in the source, gradation, type of subgrade,
type of base aggregate, or layer thickness. Leave each control strip in place to
become part of the project. Complete
at least one control strip for each layer of base material.
Construct a control strip a minimum length of 500 feet and to the full
width of the aggregate base course. Use
the same equipment and procedures intended for the construction of the remainder
of the base course. After two passes
the Development Inspector will require (3) density measurements at randomly
selected sites, at least two feet from the edge of the base.
The Development Inspector will require density measurements at the same
(3) locations after subsequent passes of the compaction equipment.
Compact the control strip until no further increase in density can be
obtained from additional passes. The inspector will visually inspect the
material after each pass to determine if the aggregate is being crushed into
fine material. If the aggregate is
being crushed, cracked, shoved, or shows other signs of distress, cease
compaction efforts. If compaction of
the base is not satisfactory, use other methods to achieve satisfactory results.
After completing compaction of the control strip, the Development Inspector will
require 10 field density measurements at random locations in the control strip
and require the averaging of the 10 measurements to obtain the target density
for the compaction of the base. Once
the target density is obtained the remaining base course, equal to that same
depth of the control strip, will be checked by nuclear gage at various
locations. The density of these test
sections shall average 98 percent of the target density or greater with no
individual measurement less than 95 percent of the target density. When the
average density of a test section does not meet the required density, cease
laydown operations, and either provide additional compaction effort or rework
the material to obtain the required average density.
Do not add fines to meet the target density.
iv) Density
tests cannot be performed on any base layers that have standing water on them.
v) During
times of the year where base moisture is a concern, the designer can substitute
the bottom 4 inch base layer with a 7 inch layer of #2 stone. This layer must be
separated from the subgrade with KYTC Type II fabric and drained off (this layer
cannot be applied toward any subgrade remediation).
c)
Asphalt
layers
i) All
asphalt base and/or binder layers are to comply with KYTC Specifications.
ii) Any
proposed asphalt courses are to adhere to the following temperature limitations:
|
Bituminous Mixtures
|
Minimum Ambient Air
Temperature for Placing (Degrees Fahrenheit)
|
|
Asphalt Mixture, Surface (one
inch thick or less)
|
45
|

|
|
Asphalt Mixture, Base and
Binder
|

|
iii) Asphalt
pavement sections are to have overlapping longitudinal joints of 6 inches. This
can be achieved at either the base/binder or surface coat.
iv) Proposed
surface coats abutting existing surfaced roadways are to be milled and keyed
into existing roadways, at least one foot.
v) Asphalt
base material may only be used with pavement specifications using a minimum base
thickness of 4 inches. Excluding the
use of surface material, asphalt layers less than 4 inches are to be KYTC Binder
Class I materials.
J.
TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION ROADS
