A. x a <br />The Private Road must [flair] flare at the public road 95 <br />in order to permit a vehicle to enter the Private Road when <br />another vehicle is waiting on the Private Road. The <br />dimensions of the required [flair] flare are shown on the <br />specifications sheet for each class of road. <br />Drainage <br />Ditches shall be constructed to provide drainage from <br />the road and adjacent areas. The ditches shall be built with <br />sufficient depth and width to carry the expected volume of <br />water. The side slopes shall be graded so that they can be <br />stabilized and to prevent vehicles from becoming stuck if <br />they slide into the ditch. <br />Where the road crosses streams or minor watercourses, <br />culverts shall be installed to prevent ponding and washouts <br />of the road for the five -year design storm. On streams where <br />it is not economical to install a large culvert of the <br />required size, the Erosion Control Officer may allow the <br />installation of a smaller culvert if engineering equivalent <br />provisions are made to protect the road surface and fill <br />slopes from erosion when runoff tops the road. <br />Turn -A ounds <br />Vehicle turn - around areas shall be provided at the end <br />of all dead end roads. This can be accomplished by ending <br />the road in a cul -de -sac or a "T ". Cul -de -sacs shall have a <br />minimum diameter of 70'. A "T" turn - around must conform to <br />the dimensions in the diagram below. The "T" type turn- <br />around is preferred. The location of the turn - around will <br />depend on the arrangement of the lots in the subdivision. If <br />the Private Road serves only one lot the turn - around should <br />be located near the building site. In a subdivision with <br />several lots the turn - around should be at the end of the road <br />and the necessary right -of -way provided. <br />[] = delete text <br />bold underline = add text <br />
