(Proposed amendments include a disclaimer in the first paragraph which states that the private road standards are minimum standards and may not be appropriate for all uses. The remaining amendments are concerned with private road inspection and certification by a professional engineer or registered land surveyor and enumerate items that must be addressed). Travelway The travelway must be surfaced and compacted with a material acceptable to Orange County to the required width of the particular class of road. A crown should be built into the travelway so that water will drain from the road surface into the side ditch. The crown should not be so great as to cause vehicles to slide off the travelway when ice or snow is on the road. Generally the road and shoulder should be crowned as shown in the specifications sheet so that runoff will drain to the ditches on both sides of the road. However, in some situations it may be desirable not to crown the road but to have the travelway sloped to a single ditch as shown below. This is applicable in three situations: (1) where it is necessary to cut down on the length of a ditch in order to reduce the erosion potential by decreasing the volume of runoff, u where it is difficult to construct ditches due to rock, or (3) to „provide far sunerelevation [or_j_ in curves. Such a sin le slo a show d always drain toward the inside of a curve. The -crow slo a of the road and shoulder should be anAroximately 1 /2,-Lo 1 inch Derfoot . (The proposed amendment proposes additional design standards for situations where it is not desirable to crown a road). Pr .0 rr , 7«: Y -WE7 underline = proposed text retained bold = TAS /PB revision
