In general, all streets and alleys shall be concrete pavement, crushed stone, gravel aggregate or cement stabilized base (oyster shell aggregate) with an asphalt wearing surface. Combined curb and gutters shall be constructed on each side of each street within the boundaries of each subdivision. The pavement shall conform to the city's paving standards.

(b)

(c)

The minimum gradient on gutters shall be zero point twenty percent. The minimum drop around a curb shall be zero point fifteen feet.

(d)

Where a curb and gutter section intersects a drainage ditch, the grade of the gutter shall be above the design water surface of the ditch.

(e)

Drainage inlets shall be placed at all low points on the gutter gradient.

(f)

The developer or subdivider shall connect the proposed streets to the city's existing streets with approved connections at no cost to the city when expedient by the city.

(g)

All streets shall be marked at each street intersection with a street name sign approved by the commission and the city administrator. Culverts, bridges or other structures to span existing or proposed ditches shall be built by the subdivider.

(h)

All streets shall be paved by the subdivider to the plat boundary, even though the proposed street terminates at undeveloped property and the extension of the proposed street is not dedicated to the public.

(i)

Width of paving for the various types of streets and for alleys shall not be less than shown in the city's standards.
