Unimproved streets within the city shall be brought up to the following standards before the same shall be accepted and maintained by the city:

A. The entire right-of-way shall be brought to proper grade and concrete curb and gutter installed. Distance between curbs shall be no less than thirty-six (36) feet.

B. Storm sewers of proper size shall be installed where required. The width of drive-ways shall not be less than twenty-one (21) feet with proper curb cuts as specified in Chapter 12.20.

C. Base rock shall be applied to the graded street to a depth of at least six inches. The base rock shall consist of bar run gravel or other materials approved by the street department. (Mine rock will not be approved.)

D. A wearing surface shall be applied on the base rock to a depth of two inches and full width of the street. Such wearing surface shall consist of one and one-half-inch crushed rock. A two-inch binder course of three-fourths minus will then be shaped and rolled over the street surface, giving a total rock base of ten inches. Each course will be completely rolled and shaped before the following course is applied.

E. The surface of the street shall be graded with a crown of six inches from the gutter line to the center of the street.
