Progress Made Toward Hiring Part-time Animal Control Officer August 16, 2018
 
 
Greatest Need for Animal Control Assistance
 
After a decision was made to put funding towards part-time assistance with Animal Control, staff researched animal-related call data for the last year and compiled statistics for animal calls handled by police officers when the Animal Control Officer (ACO) was not available. The results were as follows:

• The highest 4-hour block where an ACO was needed, but was not available was Monday through Friday 4:00 p.m.-8:00 m.
• The second highest 4 hour block where an ACO was needed, but was not available was Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. This is likely due to the fact that ACO Bryant was off during these times due to training, having to work Saturday or was busy on another
• 75 of the 506 (15%) calls handled by police officers were on the

 
 
Based on the research, it was determined that the best use of a part time ACO would be to have him work some week nights from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (or similar hours) and to be placed into an on-call rotation with ACO Bryant so that there would always be an ACO available for call outs for situations that require an ACO’s expertise and/or equipment.
Were a part-time ACO hired and an on-call rotation were established, an ACO could be called out for emergency situations to include:

• Life threatening injury to an animal that is stray or the its owner is not present;
• Animal posing an immediate threat to public safety, or
• Any situation where the Police Department requires Animal Control to

Attempts to Find Qualified ACO for Part-Time Work
 
Staff has attempted to find experienced animal control officers who were possibly willing to accept the part-time animal control officer position. A couple of candidates were identified, but ultimately decided to decline, mainly due to their current job schedule conflicting with the proposed New Bern part-time ACO schedule. Staff has found it very difficult to find a candidate with animal control experience. While we can potentially post the position and see if we get any other candidates, it is highly unlikely since we have contacted most if not all of the qualified ACOs in the area.
Discussion on Potentially Outsourcing the Work
 
On June 4, 2018, Aldermen Bengel and Aster called a meeting to discuss the possibility of outsourcing the part-time animal control position to the Colonial Capital Humane Society, who had expressed interest in doing so. Captain Jones attended the meeting on behalf of the Police Department. Representing the Humane Society were Ms. Lisa Lee and Tyker Gonzalez. During the meeting, Captain Jones expressed concerns over utilizing the Humane Society to enforce animal control laws. The current city ordinance only permits city employees, specifically the animal control officer and police officers to conduct enforcement. Other issues identified included who would oversee their activities and what liability the city held for their actions.
Ms. Lee and Ms. Gonzales said that there were other jurisdictions throughout North Carolina that were utilizing their local Humane Society to handle animal control matters; however, Ms. Gonzales was unable to identify any jurisdictions in North Carolina where the local Humane Society handled animal control matters. She did provide a list of jurisdictions where the Humane Society provided shelter services for the jurisdiction.
On August 2, 2018, Alderman Aster forward a copy of the agreement proposed by the Colonial Capital Humane Society for after-hours animal control services. The document was reviewed and several potential issues identified in addition to those expressed during the initial meeting:
 

• The agreement did not provide a clear indication of how much after-hours coverage they would actually provide;
• The type of animal control related training and equipment that would be required was not addressed; and
• There was no language in the agreement to address how calls handled by Humane Society staff would be passed onto Police Department staff to ensure   a coordinated effort in animal control

 
 
City Attorney Scott Davis reviewed the proposed agreement and determined that an extensive amount of legal time and research would be necessary as this would be the first of its kind in the
 
state. He also questioned whether current statutes provide any support for a model like this. Based on the unfeasibility of outsourcing to the Human Society, Human Resources was contacted to have the part-time ACO position advertised publicly to hopefully identify a good candidate for the position.
Other Considerations
 
During the process of evaluating the Police Department” s procedures for handling animal control matters, staff identified some obstacles to providing adequate care for animals encountered during calls for service. Currently, there are very limited resources available to the Police Department to provide immediate care to an animal who is either injured or severely neglected. Essentially, the only resource available to the Police Department is the Craven/Pamlico Animal Shelter. If the incident occurs during shelter business hours (Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. though 5:30 p.m. and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m.), the animal can be transported to the shelter and shelter personnel will coordinate emergency care for the animal. If an incident occurs after those hours, the only option for Police Department personnel is to transp01i the animal to the shelter and place it in a garage until shelter personnel arrive the next morning. This would not be appropriate for situations where an animal requires emergency care.
Staff is in the process of locating an emergency veterinarian facility where personnel can transport animals requiring emergency care when the shelter is closed. The Police Department will have to bear the cost of the emergency care, but can potentially recoup it through restitution for animal neglect/cruelty cases.

SUBJECT: Hold a Public Hearing to consider adoption of the proposed amendments to Sections 15-15 15-210, 15-214 and 15-216 of Appendix A of the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance; “Basic definitions and interpretations” “Street classifications” “Development connectivity” and “Street width, sidewalk and drainage requirements in subdivisions”.
 
Background
The Board of Aldermen is requested to hold a public hearing on August 28, 2018 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, to consider a request by the City of New Bern to consider adoption of proposed amendments to Sections 15-15 15-210, 15-214 and 15-216 of the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance; “Definitions” “Street classifications” “Development connectivity” and “Street width, sidewalk and drainage requirements in subdivisions”.
 
Over many years our street design standards have fallen out of line with best planning practices and with the standards required to properly operate the fire equipment in use in modem times by the city. These changes will bring our standards up to date and help to ensure safe and effective operation of city equipment.
 
At their May 1st, 2018 regular meeting the Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend approval to the Board of Aldermen.
 
Recommendation
To adopt proposed amendments to Sections 15-15, 15-210, 15-214 and 15-216 of the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance; “Basic definitions and interpretations “Street classifications” “Development connectivity” and “Street width, sidewalk and drainage requirements in subdivisions”.

• Collector streets shall intersect with surrounding collector or arterial streets at safe and convenient locations.

• Subcollector, local, and minor residential streets shall connect with surrounding streets where necessary to permit the convenient movement of traffic between residential neighborhoods or to facilitate access to neighborhoods by emergency service vehicles or for other sufficient reasons, but connections shall not be permitted where the effect would be to encourage the use of such streets by substantial through

• Wherever connections to anticipated or proposed surrounding streets are required by this section, the street right-of-way shall be extended to the property line of the subdivided property (or to the edge of the remaining undeveloped portion of a single tract) at the point where the connection to the anticipated or proposed street is expected. In addition, the department of public works may require temporary turnarounds to be constructed at the end of such streets pending their extension when such turnarounds appear necessary to facilitate the flow of traffic or to accommodate emergency vehicles. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subsection, no temporary dead-end street in excess of 750 feet may be created unless no other practical alternative is available as determined by the director of development services or their

• All residential developments requiring a departmental review by city staff and containing 150 lots or more shall provide a second point of street access from such development onto a surfaced public street. The second point of street access shall be a minimum of 1,000 feet from the first point of access as measured along the project boundary line.

• Non-residential connectivity standards: In order to prevent added congestion along major roads from trips starting and ending in close proximity to each other, and in order to increase commerce and the ease of access to amenities for customers and residents alike, new development shall provide a high degree of connectivity to adjacent properties and streets. All

• To the greatest extent possible, cross access points on opposite sides of a development shall be aligned with each other, parking lot travel lanes, internal drives and other cross access points on non-adjacent parcels on the same block so as to provide for a consistent lane of travel between parcels on a

• Design and Dimensional Requirements. All stub outs, shared drives and other cross access features shall be developed according to all applicable parking standards with the exception of sections abutting undeveloped property lines, which do not require curbing. All cross access features shall be constructed with a minimum width of 24 feet, curb-to-curb, or two separate 12foot lanes to accommodate 2 lanes of

• Parking Requirement Reductions. For each parcel they serve, each shared drive, stub-out or connected cross-access drive shall equate to a reduction of 3 required parking spaces each. All undivided, shared parking areas designated and reserved on plans shall equate to a reduction of 8 parking spaces, which may be applied in any fashion over the subject parcels. The total reduction in required parking spaces per this section shall not equal more than 25 percent of the required spaces per parcel. Nothing in this section shall prohibit additional parking exceeding the requirements of this

• Landscape Buffer Relief. All paved areas within cross access points and shared drives shall be exempt from landscape buffer

• Alterations and Exemptions. When environmental and development constraints exist on or adjacent to one or more areas of a new development site preventing the reasonable application of this section the director of development services, or his or her designated representative, at their discretion, may allow the relocation of one or more required cross access points. In extreme circumstances they may also allow the reduction in the required number of cross access points. The following circumstances may represent the need for an alteration to the required design or location of or exemption of one or more cross access points:

• Adjacent properties in zoning districts which prohibit multi-family or non-residential development or existing adjacent single family residential

1. Existing heavy industrial or other development that poses a safety or

security issue.
 

• Significant natural features such as streams and wetlands, which would be harmful to disturb or pose an unreasonable economic

1. Existing topographic features with slopes of greater than fifteen (15)

percent.
 

1. Existing utility or other infrastructure obstructions which make future

access unreasonable.
 
 
 
Page 5 of9
 

1. Where adjacent multi-family or non-residential structures are located closer to property lines than would allow for adequate two-way traffic circulation around such structures.

• Other existing features determined by the Development Services Director to make connectivity requirements

• Maintaining Connectivity. Unconnected stub outs may be used for parking or other permissible uses prior to cross access with new adjacent development. All open cross access points shall be kept clear to permit unimpeded two way traffic for the duration of the use of the

• Recorded Easements. All developments with shared drives and cross access points shall document all recorded shared access easements on final plats prior to final approval.”

Sidewalks, when installed, shall be at least 5 feet in width and be separated a minimum of two feet from the back of the curb. Typical street sections illustrating streets with utility installation and with and without sidewalks are contained in the City of New Bern Street Design

• Sidewalks are to be installed in all residential subdivisions on one side of the street at a minimum, and shall be constructed according to the specifications in the City of New Bern Street Design Standards, except that the director of public works may permit the installation of walkways constructed with other suitable materials when he concludes that:

• Such walkways would serve the residents of the development as adequately as concrete sidewalks; and

• Such walkways would be more environmentally desirable or more m keeping with the overall design of the

• All developments requiring a departmental review by city staff shall be required to provide for the construction of sidewalks and other pedestrian amenities internally as well as along all adjacent portions of roadway designated for such improvements in accordance with adopted city plans and city standards when such amenities do not exist to the standard set forth in the plan. Such improvements shall adjoin any immediately adjacent pedestrian features and be installed so as to be easily adjoined to in the future. In the event that greenways or bike and pedestrian trails are required in accordance with adopted plans, the developer may provide to the

“Section 15-214. – Development connectivity.
 

• Residential connectivity standards

• The street system of a subdivision shall be coordinated with existing, proposed, and to the extent possible, anticipated streets outside the subdivision or outside the portion of a single tract that is being divided into lots (hereinafter, “surrounding street”) as provided in this section.

• Collector streets shall intersect with surrounding collector or arterial streets at safe and convenient

• Subcollector, local, and minor residential streets shall connect with surrounding streets where necessary to permit the convenient movement of traffic between residential neighborhoods or to facilitate access to neighborhoods by emergency service vehicles or for other sufficient reasons, but connections shall not be permitted where the effect would be to encourage the use of such streets by substantial through traffic.

• Wherever connections to anticipated or proposed surrounding streets are required by this section, the street right-of-way shall be extended to the property line of the subdivided property (or to the edge of the remaining undeveloped portion of a single tract) at the point where the connection to the anticipated or proposed street is expected. In addition, the department of public works may require temporary turnarounds to be constructed at the end of such streets pending their extension when such turnarounds appear necessary to facilitate the flow of traffic or to accommodate emergency vehicles. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subsection, no temporary dead-end street in excess of 750 feet may be created unless no other practical alternative is available as determined by the director of development services or their

• All residential developments requiring a departmental review by city staff and containing 150 lots or more shall provide a second point of street access from such development onto a surfaced public street. Said The second point of street access shall be a minimum of 1000ft 1,000 feet from the first point of access as measured along the project boundary line.

• Non-residential connectivity standards: In order to prevent added congestion along major roads from trips starting and ending in close proximity to each other, and in order to increase commerce and the ease of access to amenities for customers and residents alike, new development shall provide a high degree of connectivity to adjacent properties and streets. All development requiring departmental review shall be designed to allow for cross-access to adjacent compatible development in accordance with the following standards:

• Connectivity to Adjacent Streets and Drives. All new development on parcels adjacent to two or more existing streets or drives shall provide for access to each to the greatest extent possible with existing City and State traffic

 
 
Page 4 of 11
 

• Shared Drives. Shared driveway access between new developments or through agreement with existing development is encouraged to reduce the need for curb cuts and changes to medians and traffic signalization on major roads. When such drives are provided no additional cross access points shall be necessary between subject

• Cross Access Drives. Cross access points shall be provided between all new developments and adjacent properties in order to provide traffic circulation parallel to adjacent arterial and collector roads. The following shall apply in development of cross access points:

the exception of sections abutting undeveloped property lines, which do not require curbing. All cross access features shall be constructed with a minimum width of twenty four (24-j feet, curb­ to-curb, or two separate PNelve (12t-foot lanes to accommodate twe–(2) lanes of traffic.
 

• Parking Requirement Reductions. For each parcel they serve, each shared drive, stub-out or connected cross-access drive shall equate to a reduction three of (3) required parking spaces All,—undivided, shared parking areas designated and reserved on plans shall equate to a reduction of eight (8) parking spaces, which may be applied in any fashion over the subject parcels. The total reduction in required parking spaces per this section shall not equal more than tv:enty five (25) percent of the required spaces per parcel. Nothing in this section shall prohibit additional parking exceeding the requirements of this ordinance.

• Landscape Buffer Relief. All paved areas within cross access points and shared drives shall be exempt from landscape buffer

• Alterations and Exemptions. When environmental and development constraints exist on or adjacent to one or more areas of a new development site preventing the reasonable application of this section the director of development services, or his or her designated representative, at their discretion, may allow the relocation of one or more required cross access points. In extreme circumstances they may also allow the reduction in the required number of cross access points. The following circumstances may represent the need for an alteration to the required design or location of or exemption of one or more cross access points:

• Adjacent properties in zoning districts which prohibit multi-family or non-residential development or existing adjacent single family residential

1. Existing heavy industrial or other development that poses a safety or

security issue.
 

• Significant natural features such as streams and wetlands, which would be harmful to disturb or pose an unreasonable economic

1. Existing topographic features with slopes of greater than fifteen (15)

percent.
 

1. Existing utility or other infrastructure obstructions which make future

access unreasonable.
 

1. Where adjacent multi-family or non-residential structures are located closer to property lines than would allow for adequate two-way traffic circulation around such structures.

• Other existing features determined by the Development Services Director to make connectivity requirements

SECTION 3. That Section 15-216. “Street width, sidewalk, and drainage requirements in subdivisions.” of Article XIV. “Streets and Sidewalks” of Appendix A “Land Use” of the Code of Ordinance of the City of New Bern be and the same is hereby amended by deleting Section 15- 216 in its entirety and inserting in its stead the following:
 
“Section 15-216. – Street width, sidewalk, and drainage requirements in
subdivisions.
 

• Street rights-of-way are designed and developed to serve several functions: (i) to carry motor vehicle traffic and, in some cases, allow on-street parking, (ii) to provide a safe and convenient passageway for pedestrian traffic; and (iii) to serve as an important link in the city’s drainage system. The board of aldermen of the city finds that arterial streets and other major streets with no driveway access from abutting properties may be constructed without curb and gutter. Where curbs and gutters are not provided, the paving widths shall not be less than the following:

1. Arterial streets: 33

2. Collector streets: M27

 
Such streets as defined in this subsection shall have a minimum shoulder of Q feet on either side with drainage swales on either side, constructed in accordance with the specifications referenced in section 15-219.
 

• Streets platted before March 5, 1968 may be constructed without curbs and gutters if they would be in keeping with streets previously constructed in that subdivision and, in the opinion of the director of public works and the city engineer, such streets can be constructed without causing significant safety, maintenance, or drainage problems. 8treets is subdivisioas platted after March 5, 1968 may be coastructed without curbs and gutters if said streets are located in residential de;,elopments that have lot sizes that exceed the city’s standards for the R 20 rural residential waing district. 8aid lots shall provide off street parkiag pads that provide space for a minimum of three motor vehicles. (In determiaing said parkiag requirements, the driveway shall be counted as one parking space.) Limited access streets, as defined in section 15 210 of this same artiele, may also be constructed without curbs and gutters. In so case shall the pavement 1.vidths on limited access or non curbed and guttered streets be less than 20 feet with minimum shoulder widths of six feet. All cross sections of streets and drainage shall be shown on plats. All streets which are constructed without curb and gutter shall meet the city’s standards for

except that the director of public works may permit the installation of walkways constructed with other suitable materials when he concludes that:
 

• Such walkways would serve the residents of the development as adequately as concrete sidewalks; and

• Such walkways would be more environmentally desirable or more m keeping with the overall design of the

• All developments requiring a departmental review by city staff shall be required to provide for the construction of sidewalks and other pedestrian amenities internally as well as along all adjacent portions of roadway designated for such improvements in accordance with adopted city plans and city standards when such amenities do not exist to the standard set forth in the plan. Such improvements shall adjoin any immediately adjacent pedestrian features and be installed so as to be easily adjoined to in the future. In the event that greenways or bike and pedestrian trails are required in accordance with adopted plans, the developer may provide to the City a recorded easement of no less than 15 feet in width and in keeping with the general intent of adopted plans for the future construction of said features by the

• In the absence of an adopted city plan that addresses the construction and location of sidewalks and other pedestrian amenities as identified in subsection 15-2 l 6{e), all developments, commercial and residential, requiring a departmental review by city staff shall be required to construct sidewalks and other pedestrian amenities along adjacent portions of roadway or internal drives and open spaces on-site when there are found to be pre-existing sidewalks and pedestrian amenities on adjoining properties or along road rights-of-way within 500 feet, except that the director of development services may waive this requirement when severe environmental constraints or other such conditions exist so as to make future connection unlikely or unreasonable. Such improvements shall be constructed consistent to the standard of adjacent pedestrian amenities or city standards, whichever are deemed to be greater, and with the intent that future pedestrian access between developments and along adjacent streets be

• Whenever the board of aldermen finds that a means of pedestrian access is necessary from the subdivision to schools, parks, playgrounds, or other roads or facilities and that such access is not conveniently provided by sidewalks adjacent to the streets, the developer may be required to reserve an unobstructed easement of at least ten feet in width to provide such access.”

SECTION 4. That Section 15-217. “General layout of streets.” of Article XIV. “Streets and Sidewalks” of Appendix A “Land Use” of the Code of Ordinance of the City of New Bern be and the same is hereby amended by deleting Section 15-217 in its entirety and inserting in its stead the following:

SUBJECT: Call for a Public Hearing to consider adoption of the proposed amendments to Section 15-15 of the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance; “Basic definitions and interpretations”.
 
Background
The Board of Aldermen is requested to hold a public hearing on August 28th, 2018 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, to consider a request by the City of New Bern to consider adoption of proposed amendments to Section 15-15 of the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance; “Basic definitions and interpretations”.
 
These proposed edits are to clean up the residential definitions found in our basic definitions and interpretations section. With the last major overhaul of the Land Use Ordinance some errors in formatting lead to the retention of some older, now redundant, definitions for residential uses. Adopting the proposed ordinance changes will make sure there is no confusion in how different residential uses are defined within the Land Use Ordinance.
 
At their June 5th, 2018 regular meeting the Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously (8-0) to recommend approval to the Board of Aldermen.
 
Recommendation
To adopt proposed amendments to Section 15-15 of the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance; “Basic definitions and interpretations” as presesnted.

Matt Montanye, Director of Public Works.. .,J.1   gcji</f 1f’
Consider adopting a resolution approving updates to the City of New Bern Street Design Standards, dated August 2018.
 
 
Background Information:
ln January of 2011, the City of New Bern worked with local engineers, developers and other stakeholders to develop design standards for new streets being constructed within the City of New Bern. At that time the Public Warks Department was in the transition phase of hiring a new Director of Public Works and therefore all of the design requirements and inspections fell under the City Engineer.
 
At the August 28^th Board of Aldermen meeting, you will also consider updates to the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance which will incorporate several changes to the required street widths and right-of­ way widths that are noted in the Street Design Standards. Therefore, the Street Design Standards are being updated to align with the most updated version of the Land Use Ordinance and would transfer the design review and inspection responsibilities from the City Engineer to the Director of Public Works.
 
Recommendation:
 
The Public Works Department has been working with the City Engineer as well as the Development Services staff to ensure that the updated design standards are consistent with the Land Use Ordinance and that the best interest of the City are met. Therefore, it is recommended that the Board of Aldermen approve the attached updated version of the City of New Bern Street Design Standards.
 
RESOLUTION
 
WHEREAS, Section 15-219 of the City of New Bern Land Use Ordinance refers to Appendix C “City of New Bern Street Design Standards” dated January 2011; and
 
WHEREAS, since the issuance of standards in January 2011, changes have been made to the Land Use Ordinance with respect to street and right-of-way widths. The Street Design Standards are in need of revision to incorporate these changes as well as transfer the design review and inspection responsibilities from the City Engineer to the Director of Public Works.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF NEW BERN:
 
That the revision to Appendix C “Street Design Standards” of the Code of Ordinances dated August 2018, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, is hereby approved and adopted.
 
ADOPTED THIS 28th DAY OF AUGUST, 2018.

SECTION 3.0 DESIGNREQIBREMENTS

• GENERAL

 
AL a minimum, all proposed street s shall be required lo meet the design requirements contained in this sections as well as all reqwremenls set forth by the NCDOT where applicable.
 

• ASPHALT PAVEMENT

 
The asphalt pavement structure shall be de termined by U1e design engineer based on existing soil conditions and anticipa ted traffic loading. The following is an outline of the design methodology for pavement structure that is approved by the City of New Bern. An example using this design methodology is shown in Appendi.x-C:
 

• Determine the Soil Support Value (SS V): The SSV shall be detem1ined using one of the following three methods:

• Measure CBR of Soils and Calculat e SSV: The preferred method for dete1mining the The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tesl shall be perfonned in accordance wi th AASHTO designation Tl 93. (latest edition) with the exception that if the required soil compaction density to be used during construction is known, only one specimen needs to be tested at the required density for each soil type.

 
Although the following minimum testing is required , a sufficient number of CBR tests s hall be performed to determine the consistency of the soil conditions in the areas to be paved:
 

• Soil Borings: Perform soi l borings witb a ximwn s pacing of 500 linear feet and with at least three borings in each separate street and with at least one boring in soil type iden tified in the county soil survey map. Each boring shall extend at least 2 feet below the proposed finis hed su bgrade elevation.
• CBR Tests : A CBR test shall be performed on each soil type which will be within two feet of the finished subgrade If off-site soils are to be used as fill, CBR test shall also be perfonned on each type which will occur in the upper 2 feel below pavement subgrade.

 
The average CBR value for the section under study shall t hen be substitu ted into the Equation 3. 1 to obtain the SSV:
 
 
5
revisedAugust 2018
 
 
 
 
 
SSV = 5.32 (logCBR) – 1.52 [Equation 3.1]
 
 

• Measure the CBR of Soils for use as FiU and C alculate the SSV: If the traits of the present soils within the space to be paved lead to an uneconomical pavement part based mostly on the previous technique, the design engineer could decide to undercut the present soils to a depth of at the least 24 inches under the completed pavement subgrade elevations and backfill with choose mate1ial. The SSV for the proposed pavement part is then decided by perfo rming a CBR check on every so il sort used for The SSV shall be decided utilizing the equation proven in Part 3.2.1.1.

• Assign a SSV from Classificatio n of the County Soil Map: The soil varieties could also be decided through the use of the relevant Soil Survey map ready by the USDA – Pure Sources Conservation Companies. The proposed challenge shall be situated on the soils map to find out the so il sort s within the space s to be A duplicate of the soil survey map with the challenge boundaries and the areas to be paved sha ll be su bmitted to the Director of Public Wo rks .

 
From the Engineering Index Properties Desk of the soil survey, decide the AASHTO Classification of the soil varieties. From this info use the next desk to assign the SSV. Utilizing this technique all the paved space shalI be designed utilizing the bottom SSV obtained alongside any portion of the paved space.

Example Pavement Design
 
 
 
 
 
 
APPENDIX – C: Pavement Design Example
Design a pavement for a new residential development which will consist of I00 single family homes. All proposed streets will tenninatc within the development and will not be used to accommodate any loading other than the initial 100 homes. USGS Soil Maps identify all native so ils within the proposed streets to be classified as A-3.
Solution:
 
Step 1 – Determinethe Soil Support Value (SSV):
Using Table 3.1 the assigned SSV for A-3 soils s hall be 3.5
SSV = 3.5
Step 2- Determine the Design Average Daily Traffic ( ADT ):
 

• Using Table 2 the trips per day based on land use shall be 9.53 trips/day/unit for single rarnily homes.

ADT = 9.53 tripsldayl unit x JOO u 11il s = 951 trips/day
 

• Tbe growth factor (G) shall be calculated for a 20 year design life using the approp1iate estimated yearly annual increase from Table 3. Using Table 3.3 for a subdivision street (fully developed) tbe estimated yearly increase is 0. 5%; so i = 0 .005 .

G =(1 + i/’ = (1 + 0.005) ²⁰ = 1.10

• Use Equation 3.2 to determine the design average daily

ADT = ADT + (G x AJ)T ) = 953 + (I.JO x 953) =1,001 trips/day
2                                2
 
Step 3 – Determine the Truck Factor ( N ):
Using Table 3.4 the approximate truck factor ( N ) is 16.
( N) = 16
Step 4 – Determine the Structural Number (SN):
 
Using Equation 3.4 determine the s tructural number (SN) by substituting known values.
 
SN = 2.41 (N )°-1 5 1      = 2.41(16)°-w = 2.32
(J.14/SI’            (J.14)3-⁵
 
 
 
 
 
A.P-C I
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 5 – Select PavementSeccion Required to Obtain the Structural Number:
 
Using Tab l.e 3.6 determine the structural coefficients for the desired pavernenl components and multip ly tbe by the tl1ic kness of each component to oblaio the s tructural number. Use trial and error to detennine a pavement structure that meets the required Structural Nwnber (SN).
