I. GENERAL REOUIREMENTS
1.1 Introduction: The "Paving Design Standards" - are designed to implement the
provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance and to provide for the orderly, safe, healthy and uniform
development of the area within the corporate city limits and within the area surrounding the City,
extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).
The Standard Specifications for Construction and the Standard Details are supplemental and are
made a part of the Paving Design Standards. These documents are to be considered as the
minimum requirements of engineering design. The adherence to the requirements of these
documents and/or the approval by the City of Wylie and its agents in no way relieves the
developer of the responsibility for adequacy of design, which may require more stringent
standards than these, the completeness of plans and specifications or the suitability of the
completed facilities. In unusual circumstances, the City of Wylie may determine that designs
other than those of the Standards are necessary and will inform the developer of such
requirements before final engineering review.
The developer shall notifY the City of Wylie, in writing, of any deviations from the requirements
set forth in the Paving Design Standards, Standard Specifications for Construction or Standard
Details.
1.2
Paving Design Standards: The Paving Design Standards, as adopted by the City
of Wylie, are set forth herein. These standards shall be considered as the minimum requirements,
and it shall be the responsibility of the developer to determine if more stringent requirements are
necessary for a particular development. It is not intended that the Paving Design Standards cover
all aspects of paving construction for any given development. For those elements omitted, the
developer will be expected to provide a design for facilities in accordance with good engineering
practice utilizing first class construction workmanship and materials.
1.3
Standard Specifications for Construction: Standard Specifications for
Construction as adopted by the City of Wylie are bound in this document. The Standard
Specifications for Construction set forth in minimum requirements for materials and workmanship
for streets, alleys, parking lots, and sidewalks. These specifications should be considered as
minimum requirements, and such additional requirements as the developer or the City may
consider appropriate should be added as supplements.
1.4
Standard Details: In an effort to have uniformity and to facilitate maintenance, the
City has adopted standard design features for certain facilities such as street and alley
sections, paving sections, sidewalks, ramps for the handicapped, etc. These requirements are
shown as Standard Construction Details.
1.5
Inspection of Construction by City Personnel: All inspection of construction and
verification of compliance to the plans and specifications shall be conducted by the City of Wylie's
staffunder the direction of the City's Engineer. The facilities included in this inspection
requirement are streets, sidewalks, parking lots, alleys, etc.. The developer shall advise all of his
construction contractors of this requirement. No development will be accepted by the City until
all construction has been approved by the City of Wylie's staff The developer shall be responsible
for any additional expense to the City at a rate established by the City at that time when inspection
is done after normal business hours of the City, or when the improvements built will be privately
owned.
The developer will be responsible for furnishing to the City the original reproducible engineering
drawings corrected to show "as-built" conditions before any utility improvements will be
accepted. Building permits will not be issued until all public or required improvements are
accepted by the City. Unless in the opinion of the City's Engineer issuance of building permits
prior to, improvement completion will not be detrimental to the City.
2.
2.1
STREET SYSTEM
General: The street system, including the street layout, shall be in accordance with
generally accepted engineering practices and in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, the
latest Thoroughfare Plan, the Zoning Ordinances, the Subdivision Regulations and other
applicable regulations. The plans and specifications, design computation, and other applicable
data shall be submitted to the City for review. The subgrade materials will be tested in
accordance to the Standard Specifications for Construction, unless otherwise approved by the
City. In general, the soils testing will include the testing of Atterburg limits. Lime stabilization of
the sub grade will be required if the plasticity index (p.J.) is 15 or above. Lime stabilization or
concrete stabilization may be required for soils showing a P.I. of 15 or less. Construction shall
not commence prior to approval of the plans and specifications by the City. All changes during
construction shall be submitted to the City Engineer for approval prior to any construction
modifications.
2.2
Street Arrangement: Unless otherwise approved by the City, provisions shall be
made for the extension of existing major arterials, collector streets and those local streets in
accordance with Thoroughfare Plan and any specific street alignments as adopted by the City
Council.
Off-center intersections will be considered for approval only for minor collector and local streets,
and only when there is a minimum property line separation of 150',
Within residential areas, the following design elements are encouraged: (A) Developing only a
limited number of access points to arterial streets bordering the subdivision; (B) Incorporating
curvilinear streets into the plan; and (C) Incorporating a discontinuous residential street network,
which utililizes three-way intersections in lieu of four-way intersections. When these factors are
incorporated into a residential street plan, the result is enhanced character and superior traffic
safety.
2.3 Thoroughfare and Street Geometry: Geometric design standards are presented in
two formats within this section. Table 2.1 identifies specific design criteria for each standard
roadway type. In another format, Figure 2.1 shows the resulting typical cross-section for each
standard roadway type. It is noted that dimensions shown are to the face of curb, unless
specifically identified otherwise,
Each roadway type is keyed to the City Thoroughfare Plan, with the exception of local streets.
The reader is referred to this document for information as to the locations where these roadways
are to be used.
Arterial thoroughfares in Wylie are intended to have raised medians. Median opening locations
are a critical part of arterial thoroughfare design, Minimum spacing between median openings
depends upon many factors. To aid in thoroughfare design and adjacent property development,
standards for median opening locations have been established, and are shown in Figure 2.2

MINIMUM DRIVEWAY SPACING
AND CORNER CLEARANCE
FIGURE 2.3
2.4
Driveway Access Location: Driveway location is very important to the proper
design of thoroughfares and adjacent property. Minimum standards for driveway separation
accessing the same site are shown in Figure 2.3. This standard applies to all non-residential uses.
There is a minimum distance upstream and downstream from adjacent intersections within which
driveways should not be located. This separation distance varies with the classification of street
and is shown in Figure 2.3. This standard applies to all non-residential users.
At rnidblock access points, there is a minimum distance from a median nose, within which
driveways should not be located. This is shown in Figure 2.3 and is equally applicable along both
major and minor arterials for non-residential uses.
All residential/residential intersecting streets shall have a minimum distance of 45 feet to the
nearest driveway approach.
2.5
Block Lengths: In general, streets shall be provided at such intervals as to serve
cross traffic adequately and to intersect with existing streets. Where no existing plats control, the
blocks shall be not more than 1,200 feet in length nor less than three hundred (300) feet in length
except in unusual cases. Block arrangements must provide access to all lots, and in no case, shall
a block interfere with traffic circulation,
2.6
Street Intersection: More than two streets intersecting at one point shall be
avoided. All streets and thoroughfares should intersect other streets and thoroughfares at an
angle of ninety (90) degrees.
Arterial and collector street intersections shall have property line corner clips with a minimum
tangent distance of thirty (30) feet. Residential streets shall not normally be required to have a
corner clip at their intersection with other streets or thoroughfares.
Curb radii at intersections shall have a minimum radius of thirty (30) feet along arterials,
twenty-five (25) feet along collectors and, twenty (20) feet along residential streets.
In any case where streets intersect at an angle of other than ninety (90) degrees, the City may
require non-standard right-of-way comer clips and curb return radii.
2.7
Relation to Adioining Streets: The system of streets designed for the
development, except in unusual cases, must connect with streets already dedicated in adjacent
developments. Where no adjacent connections are platted, the streets must be the reasonable
projection of streets in the nearest subdivided tracts and must be continued to the boundaries of
the tract development, so that other developments may eventually connect with the proposed
development. Strips ofland controlling access to or egress from other property or any street or
alley or having the effect of restricting or damaging the adjoining property for development or
subdivision purposes or which will not be taxable or accessible for special improvements shall not
be permitted in any development unless such reserve strips are conveyed to the City. When such
access is needed to maintain permanent City owned utilities, the roadway will be an improved
right-of-way. If the utilities are temporary, an improved easement may be approved.
2.8
Dead End Streets. Cul-de-Sacs and Courts: Cul-de-sacs are permitted and
encouraged within residential subdivisions. Use of this design shall provide proper access to all
lots and shall not exceed six hundred feet in length, measured from the center of the cul-de-sac to
the center of the intersecting street. Specific aspects of the standard cul-de-sac design are given
in Figure 2.1. In lieu of the typical design shown, the City may approve alternative concepts for a
specific application.
2.9
Alleys and Alley Widths: Alleys shall be built in accordance with the City of Wylie
Subdivision Regulations. Alleys shall be provided in all residential areas and shall be paved with
concrete. The City Council may waive the residential alley requirement upon determination by the
Council, ifit is in the best interest of the City. Alleys may be required in commercial and
industrial districts. The City may waive this requirement where other definite and assured
provisions are made for service access such as off-street loading, unloading, and parking
consistent with and adequate for the uses proposed. The minimum right-of-way width of an alley
for front entry lots shall be fifteen (15) feet with a ten(10) foot paving width. Alleys for rear entry
lots shall be constructed a minimum twelve(12) feet in width within a minimum twenty(20)
right-of-way. Dead-end alleys shall not be permitted. The City may waive this requirement where
such dead-end alleys are unavoidable and where adequate turnaround facilities have been
provided. Adequate provisions shall be made at all intersections in order that equipment, such as
garbage collection vehicles and maintenance vehicles, can maneuver the corners. The interior
edge of the pavement, at the corners, shall have a minimum radius of30 feet. The exterior edge
of the pavement, at the corners, shall have a minimum radius of20 feet. The right-of-way limits
shall be expanded, if necessary, beyond the minimum requirement in order to include all of the
paved section and utilities within the right-of-way of the alley. Alley turnouts shall be paved to
the property line and shall be fifteen (15) feet wide at that point. The concrete shall have a
minimum strength of3,500 psi within 28 days and a minimum cement content of 5 sacks per cubic
yard. The reinforced concrete shall have a minimum thickness of 7 inches of exterior sections and
5 inches on interior sections. The testing of the concrete paving shall be done by an approved
testing lab and conform to the Standard Specifications for Construction.
2.10 Street Grades: Arterial streets may have a maximum grade of seven and one-half
(7 1/2%) percent, for a maximum continuous distance of two hundred (200) feet. Collector
streets may have a maximum grade of seven and one-half(7-1/2) percent. Residential streets may
have a maximum grade often (10) percent, unless otherwise approved by the City where the
natural topography is such as to require steeper grades. All streets must have a minimum grade of
at least five-tenths (0.5) of one (1) percent. Centerline grade changes with an algebraic difference
of more than one (1) percent shall be connected with vertical curves in compliance with the
minimum length requirements set forth in Table 2.2.

2.11 Pavement Design: Pavement design shall be in accordance with good engineering
practice. Pavements shall be of concrete having not less than 3,500 psi strength in 28 days with a
cement content of not less than 5 sacks per cubic yard. Pavement shall be reinforced with NO.3
bars at 24-inch centers in both directions. Minimum concrete thickness of pavement shall be 6
inches for local residential and minor collector residential streets which are not subject to heavy
truck and/or equipment traffic. Residential and minor collector pavement design shall have a
minimum flexural strength of 575 psi in 28 days. Local commercial, minor collector commercial,
major collector, and arterial pavement design shall also have a minimum flexural strength of 575
psi in 28 days and a minimum of 8 inches in concrete thickness. All flexural strength test shall be
based on center point loading.
Traffic projections may require additional thickness of paving on collector and arterial streets.
The subgrades shall be compacted and finished to a smooth uniform surface. Subgrades of native
material which have a Plasticity Index (p.I.) of 15 or more shall be lime stabilized to a minimum
depth of six (6) inches. The lime stabilization shall be used for the full width of the street, back of

2.1 DESCRIPTION: Street Excavation and Grading will consist of all the required excavation
within the limits of the right-of-way and areas adjacent thereto, the removal, proper utilization or
disposal of all excavated materials; the construction of all embankments and the shaping and
finishing of all earthwork in conformity with the lines and grades as shown on the plans or
established by the approved plans in accordance with the specification requirements contained
herein.
2.2 CLASSIFICATION: Without regard to materials encountered, all street excavation shall be
unclassified and shall be designated as "Unclassified Street Excavation" which will include all
materials excavated. It is to be distinctly understood that any reference to rock, or any other
material on the plans and/or in this specification is solely for the City's and the Contractor's
information and is not to be taken as an indication of the classification of excavation.
2.3 EXCAVATION: All excavation shall be in accordance with the lines, grades, and typical
sections as shown on the plans or established by the City. Unless otherwise shown on the plans or
established by the City, street excavation will be made to the subgrade of the roadway and
finished grade of parkways.
Where excavation to grades established in the field by the City would terminate in unstable soil,
the City may require the Contractor to remove the unstable soil and backfill to the required grade
with suitable material compacted, in an approved manner, to a satisfactory density.
Where excavation to the grade established in the field by the City terminates in loose or solid
rock, the Contractor may be required to extend the depth of excavation six (6") inches and
back:fill with select material compacted, in an approved manner, to a satisfactory density. Subject
to the approval of the City, the select material backfill may be obtained from any point within the
right-of-way where suitable backfill material is available.
The Contractor shall conduct his operations in such a manner that adequate measurements may be
taken before any backfill, as required above, is placed.
A portion of the existing pavement, including both gravel base and asphalt surface, shall be
thoroughly scarified, salvaged and used for the transition paving base. Care shall be taken in
removing the gravel base so as not to include any of the sub grade. After removal of the
pavement, the excavation shall be continued to proper grades and then stabilized with lime when
the Plasticity Index (p.I.) equals 15 or more.
2.4 PROVISIONS FOR DRAINAGE: !fit is necessary in the prosecution of the work to
interrupt the natural drainage of the surface or the flow of artificial drains, the Contractor shall
provide temporary drainage facilities that will prevent damage to public or private interests and
shall restore the original drains as soon at the work will permit. The Contractor shall be held
liable for all damages which may result from neglect to provide for either natural or artificial
drainage which his work may have interrupted.

surface will be broken to a depth of at least four (4 ") inches.
Embankments shall be constructed of suitable materials and shall be placed in successive
horizontal lifts of not more than eight (8") inches in depth by loose measurement for the full width
of the embankment. Stumps, trees, rubbish, vegetation or other unsuitable materials shall not be
placed in embankments. All construction traffic shall be uniformly distributed over the entire
surface of each layer of the embankment.
A blade or other suitable equipment shall be kept in operation on the embankment for the purpose
of uniformly mixing, spreading and pulverizing the embankment material,
After a layer of embankment material has been placed and bladed, it shall be sprinkled as required
to bring the material to the uniform moisture content necessary for maximum compaction and
rolled with a tamping roller, or other approved compaction equipment. The roller shall pass over
every part of each layer for a maximum of six (6) times. In the event water from the City Water
Mains is used, it shall be metered and paid for by the Contractor. Each lift of embankment
construction shall be compacted to 95% Standard Proctor Density.
No successive layer shall be placed until the layer under construction has been thoroughly bladed
and rolled to the satisfaction of the City.
After a section of the embankment has been completed, it shall be maintained to grade and
cross-section by blading when required.
Embankments placed over and adjacent to pipes, culverts, and other structures shall be of suitable
materials and shall be placed in successive horizontal lifts of not more than six (6") inches in depth
by loose measurement. Each layer shall be uniformly mixed, pulverized and thoroughly
compacted to the satisfaction of the City by the use of rakes, hand tamps, and/or other approved
methods. Special care shall be taken to prevent any wedging against the structure. This method
of consolidation and compaction shall be used for such distances along an embankment adjacent
to structures as may be necessary and in other areas where blading and rolling would be
impractical.
2.6 EMBANKMENTS CONTAINING ROCK: Where a large portion of the materials
excavated consists of rock, the rock may be used in the construction of the embankment as
hereinafter specified.
The maximum dimension of any rock used shall not exceed fifty (500.10) per cent of the height of
the embankment and in no case shall any rock over twenty-four (24") inches in its maximum
dimension be placed in the embankment. When the greater portion of the embankment is to be
composed of materials other than rock, the embankment shall be constructed as required in the
preceding paragraphs; and the rock shall be carefully distn1>uted throughout the embankment and
Q.::
filled around with earth or other approved fine material so that the interstices between the large
particles are filled, and a dense, compact and uniform embankment is secured.
When embankments are to be constructed principally of the rock, the rock shall be placed in
successive horizontal layers, not to exceed thirty (30") inches in depth, for the full width of the
embankment and the interstices between the large stones shall be filled, insofar as practicable,
with small stones and spalls.
The upper eight (8") inches of all embankments shall be composed of earth or other acceptable
material.

commercial laboratory, approved by the City, to perform compaction tests on embankment
construction for each two-thousand (2000 s.y.) square yards per eight (8") inch lift, unless
otherwise approved by the City.
2.8 EXCESS EXCAVATION: Unsuitable street excavation and suitable street excavation in
excess of that needed for construction shall be disposed of as directed by the City. In general,
suitable excess street excavations will be used in the construction of parkways, widening of
embankments, flattening of slopes, etc. If material must be wasted, the material shall be disposed
of in such a manner as to present a neat appearance and to not obstruct proper drainage or to not
cause injury to street improvements or to abutting property.
2.9 SUBGRADE FINISH: The subgrade will be accurately finished to the required grades and
typical sections shown on the Plans. Subgrade material which requires lime stabilization shall be
constructed in accordance with LIME STABILIZED SUBGRADE of these specifications.

grades as defined in THO Specification Item 264:
(1) Grade 1: The "Dry Solids Content" shall be at least thirty-one (31)
percent by weight of the slurry.
(2) Grade 2: The "Dry Solids Content" shall be at least thirty-five (35)
percent by weight of the slurry,
When Type B, Commercial Lime Slurry, is selected for construction, the
Contractor shall select, prior to construction, the grade to be used and shall notify
the City in writing before changing from one grade to another.
c,.
3.4 MEASUREMENT: When Type A, Hydrated Lime, is used the quantity of lime will be
measured by the ton of two thousand (2,000) pounds, dry weight.
When Type B, Commercial Lime Slurry, is used the quantity of lime shall be calculated from the
required minimum percent solids based upon the use of Grade 1 or Grade 2 as follows:
Grade 1: The "Dry Solids Content" shall be at least thirty-one (31) percent by
weight of the slurry, and the quantity of lime shall be calculated by the ton of two
thousand (2,000) pounds based on the thirty-one (31) percent of lime content as
delivered at the job site.
Grade 2: The "Dry Solids Content" shall be at least thirty-five (35) percent by
weight of the slurry, and the quantity of lime will be calculated by the ton on two
thousand (2,000) pounds based on the thirty-five (35) percent lime content as
delivered at the job site.
-
3,5 AMOUNT OF LIME: The rate of application of lime shall be such as to result in a minimum
lime content of six (6) percent by the dry weight of compacted sub grade.
3.6 LABORATORY CONTROL: The Contractor shall employ a qualified commercial testing
laboratory, approved by the City, to perform all tests for gradation and compaction. The
Contractor shall pay for all laboratory work directly. Copies of all reports shall be furnished to
the City.
Gradation and compaction tests for lime stabilized sub grade shall be required for each two
thousand (2,000 s.y.) square yards or a fraction thereof, unless otherwise approved by the City.
3.7 CONSTRUCTION METHODS:
3.7.1 GENERAL: It is a primary requirement of this specification to secure a completed course
of treated material containing a uniform lime mixture, free from loose or segregated areas, of
uniform density and moisture content, well bound for its full depth and with a smooth surface
suitable for placing subsequent courses. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to regulate
the sequence of his work, to use the proper amount of lime, maintain the work and rework the
courses as necessary to meet the above requirements.
Prior to beginning any lime treatment, the road bed shall be constructed and shaped to conform to
the typical sections, lines, and grades as shown on the plans.
3.7.2 EOUIPMENT: Machinery, tools and equipment necessary for proper prosecution of the
work shall be on the project and approved by the City prior to the beginning of construction
operations.
All machinery, tools, and equipment used shall be maintained in a satisfactory and workmanlike
manner.
(
3.7.3. TREATMENT OF SUBGRADE: Material to be treated shall be excavated to the
secondary grade (proposed bottom of lime treatment) and removed or windrowed to expose the
secondary grade. Any wet or unstable materials below the secondary grade shall be corrected by
scarifying, adding lime, and compacting until it is of uniform stability. The excavated material
shall then be spread to the desired cross-section. If the Contractor elects to use a cutting or
pulverizing machine that will remove the subgrade material accurately to the secondary grade and
pulverize the material at the same time, he will not be required to expose the secondary grade or
windrow the material. However, the Contractor shall be required to roll the subgrade before
using the pulverizing machine and correct any soft areas that this rolling may reveal. This method
will be permitted only where a machine is provided which will insure that the material is cut
uniformly to the proper depth and which has cutters that will place the secondary grade to a
smooth surface over the entire width of the cut. The machine shall be of such design that a visible
indication is given at all times that the machine is cutting to the proper depth.
3.7.4 APPLICATION: Lime shall be spread only on that area which the mixing operation can be
completed the same working day.
When Type A, hydrated lime is selected, the lime shall be mixed with water in trucks with
approved distributors and applies as a thin water suspension or slurry. Type B, Commercial Lime
Slurry, shall be applied with a lime percentage not less than that application for the grade used.
The distribution of lime at the rate shall be attained by the successive passes over a measured
surface of roadway until the proper moisture and lime content have been secured. The distributor
truck shall be equipped with an agitator which will keep the lime and water in a uniform mixture.
For a Type B, Commercial Lime Slurry, Grade 1, an approximate mix is one (1) ton of lime to
533 gallons (4448) pounds of water which gives a 31 percent solution. For Grade 2, one (1) ton
of lime to 445 gallons (3714 pounds) of water which gives a 35 percent solution.
3.7.5 MIXING:
A. First Mixing: Material and lime shall be thoroughly mixed by approved road
mixers or other approved equipment; and the mixing shall be continued until the
homogenous, friable mixture of material and lime is obtained, and is free from all
clods or lumps. Materials containing plastic clay or other materials which will not
readily mix with the lime shall be mixed as thoroughly as possible at the time of the
lime application, brought to the proper moisture content and left to cure one (1) to
four (4) days as directed by the City. During the curing period, the material shall
be kept moist.
B. Final Mixing: After the required curing time, the material shall be uniformly mixed
by approved methods. If the soil binder-lime mixture contains clods, they shall be
reduced in size by raking, blading, dicing, harrowing, scarifying, or the use of other
approved pulverization methods so that when all nonslaking aggregates obtained
on the No. 4 sieve are removed, the remainder of the material shall meet the
following requirements when tested dry by laboratory sieves:
to._
\:" .
Minimum passing 1-3/4 inch sieve 100%
Minimum passing No.4 sieve 60%
During the interval of time between application and mixing, hydrated lime that has been exposed
to the open air for a period of six (6) hours or more, or to excessive loss due to washing or
blowing, will not be accepted for payment.
3.7.6 COMPACTION: Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after final mixing and
in no case later than three (3) calendar days after final mixing. The material shall be aerated or
sprinkled as necessary to provide optimum moisture. Compaction shall begin at the bottom and
shall continue until the depth of the mixture is uniformly compacted. The compacted mixture
shall have a uniform density of not less than ninety-five (95%) percent of Standard Proctor
Density. After each section is completed, compaction tests as are necessary shall be made by the
laboratory. If any portion fails to meet the density or the depth specified, it shall be reworked as
necessary to obtain the specified density and depth of lime treatment required.
3.7.7 FINISHING. CURING AND PREPARATION FOR SURFACING: After mixture has
been compacted, the surface shall be shaped to the required line, grades, and cross-sections and
