6 (c) AMENDMENT OF CHAPTER 29 OF PART VI. Chapter 29
7 is amended by adding Section 2910 to read as follows~
8 '2910 Driveway and Parking Lot Paving. All
9 paved areas shown on approved drawings over
~0 which automotive vehicles will travel shall
~1 be designed by a registered civil engineer.
1~ EXCEPTION:
~5 Designers other than a registered civil
~ engineer shall comply with the following:
I. General Purpose.
These procedures are published as a guide to archi-
tects and engineers and are intended for use in
18
the City of Tustin.
19
The guide procedures herein are intended for use
on pavements subjected to motor vehicle traffic
21
only. If pavements are to carry forklift traffic
the higher load concentrations may require special
mix designs and specifications similar to those
required for industrial floors.
Substantial special inspection at the asphalt
plant and project sites is recommended if the
Z7
proposed work is extensive in area or is to be
constructed with surface drainage gradients of
less than 2.0%.
II. Design of Pavement Thickness.
1.0 Factors to Consider. The proper design of
-39-
1 will consider all of those factors normally
2 used for designing road and street pavements:
5 1.1 Subgrade strength value of the soils and
~ aggregates underlying the pavement.
5 1.2 Traffic and/or loading conditions to be
6 imposed on the pavement.
7 1.3 Characteristics of the asphalt-aggregate
8,~ mixture.
9~! 2.0 Evaluation of Soil Conditions. The soils
10 and aggregates on the site or to be placed
11 there, must be properly evaluated by expert
13 engineering'judgment, valid past experience or
13 on the basis of appropriate laboratory tests.
14 The evaluation shall consider the bearing or
15 resistance value of the soils and aggregates at
16 water contents and compacted densities consistent
17 with those expected during the service life of
18 the pavement. A soils survey, shall be
19 conducted to determine the types of soil present
30 on the site. On larger projects. soil samples
21 should be obtained and submitted for laboratory
22 analysis to determine composition and engineering
25 properties and to evaluate the load-sUpporting
2~ characteristics of subgrade soils. If testing equip-
25 ment is not available, however, designs may be made
26 on the basis of a careful field evaluation by
~7 and experienced engineer who can assign the
~8 subgrade soil to a soil type.
29 A uniform subgrade shall be obtained during
50 construction. The soil survey shall indicate
3! localized areas of unsuitable materials, which
92 shall need to be removed, and areas of good
-40-
soils for filling low areas.
For the purpose of pavement design when soil
test data are not available, assume that the
soil within the City of Tustin is:,
Poor subqrade - Becomes extremely soft and
plastic when wet. Included are organic silts
or silt-clays of low plasticity, inorganic
silts, and organic clays of medium to high
plasticity.
3.0 Traffic and/or Loading Conditions. The
type of expected traffic and frequency of loading
are important elements affecting thickness desi'gn
decisions:
3.1 Light Parking: General parking areas for
autos and light trucks.
3.2 Medium Parking: Access roads and drives,
store frontage traffic and service stations.
3.3 Heavy Parking: Warehouse approaches, warehouse
parking areas, ramps; all heavy-duty truck
!oadings, or parking areas. Up to 20 heavy
truck and trailer units per day.
3.4 Extra Heavy Parking: Heavy industrial types
of pavement loadings. Areas for use by 20-400
heavy truck and trailer units per day.
4.0 Materials Considerations. Paving asphalt
shall be used in grades AR-2000, 4000 or 8000.
The 2000 grade would be used under light loading
conditions. The 8000 grade would be used under
heavy loading conditions.
Aggregates shall be crushed and/or rough
surfaced sand and gravels. Gradation requirements
shall be as provided in the below. cha~t:

6.1 Drainaqe Gradients. To avoid puddle formation
-42-
in rainy weather, a minimum 2% (1/4 in. per ft.)
grade is necessary to avert objectionable pondings
on the paved area. To avoid excessive flow, buried
conduits or PCC gutters are to be required. PCC
pavement shall slope 0.4% or greater.
Flows to proposed inlets shall be adjusted to
give satisfactory results. For average conditions~
inlet spacings of no more than 200 to 300 feet
will be satisfactory.
Designs calling for a meandering PCC gutter or valley
should be avoided. Such gutters require hand-placing,
the quality of which is inferior to machine-laying.
The layout should therefore provide for PCC gutters
that follow straight lines to be installed by
machine when the mix is being placed. The paving
machine should parallel these lines, and parallel
the long dimension of the lot.
Every practical effort shall be made to prevent
the accumulation of water. beneath the pavement.
If there is evidence of subsurface seepage at the
site, (i.e., lush marsh-type growth, willows,
etc.), special underdrains shall be installed.
6.2 Establishment of Grades. Grades shall
be established and all surveying and staking shall
be by a licensed surveyor.
6.3 Soil Sterilization. Soil sterilization shall
be specified in all areas where plant growth may
be expected. This shall normally include any
areas where existing top soil will be used as
foundation for the paved area. Sterilization
may be unnecessary in areas where excavation
will remove top soil to a sterile depth or where
-43-
~ imported borrow from deep excavations is used'.
Z 6.4 Fog Seal. A well-constructed asphalt concrete
~ pavement should not require a Seal Coat immediately
4 after construction if the proper asphalt content
5 is used and provided a reasonable amount of
6 traffic is obtained after completion to obtain a
7 surface seat. On paved parking areas, however,
8 certain sections may receive very little traffic,
9 and a Fog Seal of diluted emulsified asphalt shall
10 be used.
11 III. Asphalt Paving of Parking Areas and Service Roa~s
t~ 1.0 Scope of Work. The items of work to be per-
~5 formed will consist of those listed or shown on
14 the approved drawings.
15 The areas to be paved and the thickness designs
16 of the paving structure for various portions of
17 the work are delineated on the plans.
18 2.0 Establishment of Grades. Finished elevation
19 grade stakes and any other surveying necessary
Z.0 for the layout of the work is the responsibility
21 of a licensed surveyor.
22 Areas having drainage gradients of 0.4% or more
25 shall have elevation stakes, set with instrument,
2~ at grid intervals of 50 feet. Intermediate
25 stakes may be set by using a tightly-drawn string
26 line over the tops of adjacent stakes.
Z7 Areas having drainage gradients of less than 2%
28 shall have elevation stakes, set with instrument,
29 at 25 ft. grid intervals. Gradients less than
50 2% require building official approval, but in no
~1 instance less than 0.4%.
~2 3.0 Testing and Control of Materials. All
-44-
~ material shall meet the requirements specified
~ herein. Laboratory tests of any or all of the
~ materials may be required by the Building Official.
4 The laboratory test fees shall be paid by the
5 owner.

7 4.1. preparation of Subgrade. All debris,
8 vegetation, or other perishable materials
9 shall be removed from the job site, and the
~0 area to be paved shall be rough-graded to
11 within plus or minus 0.10 feet of subgrade e!e-
~Z vation.
~5 Areas requiring fill shall be brought to rough
1~ grade elevations in lifts not exceeding 6 inches.
15 Each lift shall be moistened to approximate optimum
16 moisture content, scarified lightly and rolled.
~7 The top 6 inches of subgrade material shall be
18 compacted .to a relative compaction of not less
~9 than 90% using= AASHTO T99 and T147 procedures-
2~ After compaction and trimming, the subgrade
21 shall be firm, hard and unyielding,
22 Subgrade for the pavement structure shall not
Z5 vary more than plus or minum 0.04 ft. from the
24 specified grade and cross-section-
25 Areas inaccessible to power rolling or'areas
26 that cannot be compacted properly with power
27 rollers shall be cSmpacted with vibrating com-
28 pactors or other suitable mechanical means which
29 will produce a firm foundation for the paving
~0 structure.
~1 4.2 Soil Sterilization. Unless another chemical
~2 sterilant is specified, the sterilant shall
-45-
1 be a borate or chlorate sterilant containing not
Z less than 25% sodium chlorate and shall be mixed
~ thoroughly with water at the rate of 1-1/2 lbs.
4 of sterilant per gallon of water. The sterilant
5 shall be applied evenly at the rate of 0.2 gal.
6 per sq. yd.
~ The contractor shall take whatever precautions as
8 are necessary to prevent contamination of adjacent
9 soil areas with sterilant and for the protection
~0 of personnel.
~1 4.3 Asphalt Concrete Mix Composition - Materials.
~ Asphalt concrete shall be produced by a commercial
~5 asphalt paving plant. Mineral aggregate and
~4 asphalt concrete production shall conform to the
~5 locally prevailing State Standard Specifi.cations.
~6 Paving asphalt shall be of AR- (insert' grade)
~7 as specified above in Section II.4.

9 imparting a dynamic force of at least 21,000 lbs.
10 Maximum Laboratqry Density: Density achieved on
11 a sample of a material taken from a specific loca-
12 tion at the job site under working conditions. This
13 density can be obtained using the California Kneading
1~ Compactor, per Test Method No. Ca. 304.
15 4 5 Deep-Lift Spreading and Compaction. Asphalt
-
16 con. crete may be placed in deep lifts with no
~-- 17 limitations in thickness. Asphalt concrete pave-
18 ments having a total thickness of 4-1/2 inches°may
'19 be placed in one lift; however, pavement of greater
20 asphalt concrete thickness shall be constructed with
21 a surface course of 2 in. compacted thickness.
22 Asphalt concrete shall be delivered to the project
23 site at a temperature of not less than 240° nor

25 The depositing, distributing, and spreading of
26 asphalt concrete shall be accomplished.in a
27 single continuous operation by means of a self-
~8 propelled paving machine, motor grader, spreader
~9 box, rock spreader or similar equipment.
50 Prior to spreading, a Tack Coat shall be applied
31 to the vertical face of all curbs, gutters, and
32 structures which will butt against the new pave-
-47-
1 ment. A Tack Coat between courses may be required
2 depending on condition of the existing surface.
5 A diluted SS-type emulsion should be used for Tack
4 Coat and shall meet the requirements set forth in
5 the Asphalt Institute publication PC~-7,

~1 edges. Within one foot of any edge, the roller
92 on its initial coverage shall advance to the
-48-
! edge in 4-in. increments. The roller shall be
Z advanced to a supported edge first, if appli-
~ cable. Rolling within one foot of an unsupported
~ edge should be delayed to minimize possible
~ 5 distortion, but completed at such time that proper
6 densities are obtained after the completion or
7 rolling. No roller shall be permitted to stand-
8 motionless on any portion of the work before it
9 has been properly compacted.
10 4.6 Thin-Lift Spreading and Compaction. Courses '
11 of asphalt concrete placed in compacted thickness
!~ of less than 4 inches will be considered thin
15 lifts.
14 At the time of delivery to the site of work, the
15 temperature of mixture shall not be lower than 260°
16 F. Asphalt concrete shall not be placed when the
17 atmospheric temperature is below 40° F or. during

24 the asphalt concrete shall be accomplished in
~5 a single, continuous operation by means of a
26 self-propelled mechanical spreading and finishing
~7 machine designed e~pecially for the purpose and
equipped with a screed or strike-off assembly
capable of being accurately regulated and adjusted
50 to distribute a layer of the material to a definite
51 .predetermined thickness.
5Z Spreading, once commenced, must be continued
-49-
~ without interruption. No greater amount of the
2 mixture shall be delivered in any one day than
5 can be properly distributed and rolled during

1~ of one coverage of n 8-ton tandem steel-wheel
15 roller.
16 Steel-Wheel: Apply a minimum 6 coverages with
17 a steel-wheel roller, loaded to 10 tons.
18 Vibratory: Compaction shall consist of at
19 least 4 coverages with a vibratory roller.
~0 As soon as the layer of asphalt concrete has
21 been placed, it shall be thoroughly compacted'
~2 by rolling. Rolling shall be commenced along the
25 lower edge of the area to be rolled and be con-
~ tinued until the edge is thoroughly compacted,
~5 after which the roller shall be gradually advanced
26 to the crown point, both sides being rolled in
~7 a like manner. Rolling shall be continued until
~8 the layer has become'thoroughly compacted
~9 throughout and is true to grade and cross-section.
50 4.7 Surface Smoothness. All rollers must be
maintained in good mechanical condition, and
~Z those that cannot be operated without jerking,'
1 or driven along a straight path, shall not
Z be used., No leakage of petroleum products
5 from any roller shall be allowed to come in
4 contact with the pavements being constructed,
--- 5 nor shall any roller be permitted tostand
6 motionless on any portion of the work before it
7 has been properly compacted. Rolling surfaces
8 shall be treated with water to prevent the
9 adherence of the asphalt concrete, but the
10 quantity used must not be such as to be detri-
11 mental to the surface being rolled.
12 '4.8 Fog Seal. Fog seal shall be SS-lh or
15 CSS-lh emulsified asphalt, conforming to the
