§ 102.22. MINIMUM PAVING WIDTHS.

(A)

The following shall be the minimum required width of paving:

Street Type     Paving Width

Arterial street       36 feet

Collector street       36 feet

Residential street       24 feet

Marginal access street       24 feet

Access roadway       24 feet

Alleys       16 feet

(B)

Additional paving width may be required by the City Engineer to promote public safety and welfare, and to assure adequate access, circulation and parking in high-density residential areas, commercial areas and industrial areas. To determine the necessity for additional pavement, the City Engineer may require the applicant to furnish a traffic impact analysis and, based upon this analysis, the City Engineer shall determine the extent to which any additional paving will be needed.

(C)

Upon the recommendation of the City Engineer, the Commission may authorize a reduction in the minimum required width of paving as set forth in division (A) of this Section, if it is determined that the requirements of division (A) of this Section would not be feasible or would constitute a hardship in a particular instance and provided this reduction would not endanger public safety and welfare.

(D)

Should the City Engineer recommend against any request for reduction in the minimum width of paving requirements pursuant to division (C) of this Section, or require additional paving width pursuant to division (B) of this Section, the applicant shall have the right to appeal this decision of the City Engineer to the Commission by filing a written request with the City Manager within ten (10) days after the decision of the City Engineer. The Commission shall conduct a hearing on the appeal at a regular or special Commission meeting and shall render a decision within a reasonable time after the hearing.
