Ordinance No. 2284 Page 24 of 40 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) standards shall be followed: Highway Design Manual, and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), latest editions. The City also references design standards from "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets" (latest edition) as published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Any deviations from standards must be approved by the City Engineer. (Address this condition prior to subdivision improvement plan approval) 65. HOT -MIX ASPHALT PAVEMENT DESIGN STANDARDS: Public roadways and parking lots shall be surfaced with hot -mix asphalt (HMA) as designed according to Chapter 630 "Flexible Pavement" of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer. The following minimum standards shall apply to the design: a. Minimum design life = 20 -years b. R -value of the underlying soil shall be R = 5 minimum. A higher R -value will be allowed only through analytic testing by a licensed geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist. c. Asphalt Binder classification shall be PG 64-10. d. Minimum Traffic Index (TI) shall be as follows. A lower TI will be considered only when justified by analytic calculations performed by a licensed civil or traffic engineer according to the Caltrans Highway Design Manual Chapter 613. i. Public parking lot: Tlmin = 4.5 ii. Local Street: Tlmin = 5.0 iii. Residential collector street: Tlmin = 6.0 iv. Collector street: Timin = 7.0 v. Arterial street: Tlmin = 9.0 e. Minimum thickness of HMA layer = 3 inches f. Minimum thickness of total structural section = 8 inches (regardless of R -value) (Address this condition prior to subdivision improvement plan approval) 66 STREETLIGHTS: Streetlights to be owned and maintained by the City shall include a light -emitting diode (LED) lamp and driver compliant with UL 1598. The luminaire must be dark -sky compliant with correlated color temperature (CCT) not greater than 4,000K. For safety lighting at signalized intersections, electricity for the lights shall come from a dedicated circuit fed from the traffic signal's electrical panel. The circuit shall be controlled by a photocell that energizes the light only during nighttime hours. For free-standing streetlights on dedicated poles, the electricity shall be fed from an unmetered secondary electrical circuit provided by PG&E. A photocell on each fixture shall control operation of the lamp. Free-standing fixtures are subject to PG&E's LS2A "Customer -owned Street and Highway Lighting" rate schedule. The applicant shall provide verification of total energy consumption of luminaire to PG&E prior to connection. Billing for LS2A electricity consumption must be transferred to the City upon acceptance of the streetlight installation. Streetlights must have an electronic type photo control meeting ANSI standard C136.10 with a turn on value of 1.0 foot-candles and a turn off value of 1.5 foot-candles. Electro- mechanical or thermal type photo controls and not allowed. Streetlights must have badge numbers on each pole. Badge numbers must be affixed to the pole 9 feet from ground level facing the street -side and be legible from the ground.
