1.0 INTRODUCTION & PURPOSE
1.1 Introduction
The majority of these standards were originally prepared by the Pima County Department of
Transportation and Flood Control District (PCDOT & FCD). They have been modified to
address the specific conditions and needs ofthe Town of Maran a, and are presented in this
manual with those modifications to guide land use planners and design engineers in the
preparation of subdivision plats, development plans, improvement plans and master planning
documents. The Town discourages the use of private streets, however, these standards apply
equally to both public and private local roadways within all subdivisions and land development
roadway construction or reconstruction within the Town of Marana, and are intended to be
consistent with national standards and local policies and procedures. These standards are
guidelines, which will be enforced as written, however, it is recognized that there are situations
for which these standards may not be applicable. In these cases, and in cases of conflict or
contradiction, sound engineering judgment consistent with accepted practice and approved in
writing by the Town Engineer shall be used.
Those portions ofthese standards prepared by PCDOT & FCD ("Subdivision Street Standards",
Oct. 1989) have been reproduced herein under permission by Pima County.
1.2 Purpose
These standards are intended to provide for the public health, safety and welfare of the motorist
and pedestrian. They are minimum standards for local streets which, if not met or exceeded,
would create deficiencies resulting in a threat to public health, safety and welfare, as well as
higher user costs and public losses. They have been adopted to reduce maintenance and liability
costs borne by the residents of Mar ana.
In order to be responsive to the needs of roadway users within proposed and existing residential
neighborhoods, these street development standards have been established to:
· Provide for streets of suitable location, width, and improvement to safely accommodate
vehicular, pedestrian, and disabled pedestrian traffic;
· Afford satisfactory access to emergency services, sanitation, school bus, street
maintenance, and utility equipment;
· Coordinate street improvements, both public and private, so as to compose a convenient
system and avoid undue hardships to adjoining properties;
· Establish safe, effective, efficient, sustainable and attractive pedestrian friendly
transportation systems, which provide linkages and interconnectivity of developments;
· Provide adequate continuity, length, and width for walkways;
· Provide for visual and functional enhancement of streets and walkways through the use
of natural and introduced landscapes;
· Encourage traffic management plans by private developers;
· Design streets to balance traffic between automobiles and pedestrians; and
· Encourage curvilinear streets, streetscape, and route continuity between subdivisions.
- 1 -
1.3 Applicability
These standards are intended to apply to all residential subdivisions in Town districts R6 through
RD180. Standards for developments which are residential and have greater or lesser densities
will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
2.0 FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND INCORPORATED REGULATIONS
2.1 Functional Classification
There are four (4) broad functional classifications of streets as defined by the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO): local, collector, arterial,
and freeway (limited access). This document is limited in concern to the design characteristics
of local streets associated with subdivisions and developments, with particular attention to
residential land development.
1. Local Streets: Local streets serve as access to residences, businesses or other abutting
properties. Local streets are generally two (2) lane undivided roads with at-grade
intersections and may have frequent driveway access. Local streets are intended and
designed to provide access to abutting residential areas and supply this traffic to collector
roadway systems. The design volume of these streets should be less than one thousand
(1000) average trips per day (Average Daily Traffic (ADT)). Local streets must be designed
and posted with a minimum speed of twenty-five (25) miles-per-hour (mph). Lower design
speeds may be used for mountainous roadways (see Chapter 4.12).
2. Commercial and Industrial Subdivision Streets: Commercial and industrial subdivision
streets are to be designed in accordance with the above criteria with special consideration of
expected wheel loads, vehicle dimensions and proposed use. Please refer to AASHTO's "A
Policy on the Geometric Design of Highways and Streets" as well as the project's Traffic
Impact Analysis for further design guidelines pertinent to these facilities (see Appendix).
3. Local Collectors: Local (residential) collectors (also referred to as primary residential
streets) are generally limited-access two-lane roadways that are striped with centerline and
multi-use lanes. These streets are intended to serve as the main access point for a subdivision
(see Appendix). The design speed for this type of street should be 35 MPH (to be posted at
30 MPH) and the design volume should be no more than 2500 vehicles per day. The parking
of vehicles and residential driveway access should be prohibited on these streets at all times.
It is recognized that there are specialized types of developments such as retail, office, industrial,
mobile home parks, recreational, and cluster housing which vary widely in operational
requirements. Design of these projects has been provided for as much as possible within this
document.
- 2-
2.2 Incorporated Regulations Adopted by Reference
This manual establishes engineering design practices for local roadway construction associated
with land development within the Town of Mar ana. For items not covered herein, such as
collector street and arterial designs, the engineer shall design in accordance with the latest
editions of References listed in Chapter 14.0.
The following adopted standards, ordinances, or policies are also applicable and should be
referred to by the design engineer as appropriate:
1. Marana Land Development Code;
2. Town of Maran a General Plan;
3. Adopted Area, Community, Neighborhood and Specific plans;
4. Northwest Marana Area Plan Amendment;
5. Conditions of zoning and rezoning;
6. Town of Marana Master Transportation Plan;
7. "Floodplain and Erosion Hazard Management Ordinance", Town of Marana and PCDOT
& FCD.
3.0 TRAFFIC STUDIES
Functional classification, roadway ADT, determination of number oflanes, design speed,
required offsite improvements and design level of service shall be determined at the time of
preliminary plat or development plan review, or master development plan preparation, as
applicable (or rezoning if feasible) by the design engineer subject to approval by the Town of
Marana. All projects that generate peak hour trips exceeding one hundred (100) vehicles are
required to perform a Traffic Impact Analysis as a condition of Development Plan or Preliminary
Plat. For developments producing less that one hundred (100) vehicular trips during the peak
hour, a Traffic Impact Statement shall be submitted. This statement must be sealed by a civil
engineer licensed to practice in the State of Arizona, and must include, at a minimum, peak hour
traffic generation figures. For the preparation oftraffic impact analysis, the guidelines contained
within ADOT's "Traffic Impact Analysis for Proposed Developments" manual shall be followed,
at a minimum, or as superceded by the Town of Maran a's Traffic Impact Analysis Process
Manual. In some cases, developments with less than one hundred (100) vehicles may be
required to do a Traffic Impact Analysis if deemed necessary by the Town.
1. For local streets, in the absence of more detailed information, ADT may be estimated
from the number of units and the land use according to ITE's "Trip Generation" report.
2. The potential for cut-through traffic using neighborhood streets shall be addressed. Cut-
through traffic is defined as traffic that uses a residential street (or a route consisting of
more than one street) solely for the purpose of connecting between two major (arterial or
collector) streets. If it is expected that the volume of cut-through traffic may be
significant, consideration shall be given to the use of traffic calming measures on the
potentially impacted street(s). See the section in Chapter 12.0 on traffic calming devices.
- 3 -
The addition of proposed traffic through existing neighborhoods shall be addressed. In
such cases, the new traffic forecasts are to be considered as "cut-through" traffic and the
impacts on existing roadways examined. Appropriate traffic calming devices and
techniques shall be identified.
3. Non-residential ADT can be examined using the "Trip Generation Handbook", ITE.
4. Traffic demand forecasts must be made including a summary of background traffic plus
approved, not-yet built development traffic, plus proposed project traffic.
5. Any project proposal, which would degrade an existing roadway below a level of
service (LOS) C, must mitigate to maintain a minimum LOS C.
6. An LOS of C or better shall be maintained on all off-site roadways and intersections that
fall within the development's area of significant traffic impact (as designated by the town
and as depicted in the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for the development).
Improvements are required if the roadway or the intersection will operate below LOS C
due to traffic generated by the development. Such improvements shall upgrade the LOS
to C or better.
4.0 STREET LAYOUT & GEOMETRIC DESIGN
All subdivision and development related street design shall conform to this document. Where
not provided for herein, design engineers shall refer to those supplementary standards listed in
Chapter 2.2.
4.1 Street Layout
1. All rights-of-way and street sections shall be designed and constructed to the full
dimensions as shown in the Appendix.
2. Where partial streets exist adjacent to the tract being developed, the remaining right-of-
way must be dedicated and improvements must be made to the street as required by the
Town Engineer.
3. Proposed developments shall provide for the continuation of existing arterials and
collector street right-of-way where appropriate.
4. The local street system shall be arranged to encourage traffic connectivity within the
development and region. Traffic calming devices such as traffic circles and circuitous
through routings are to be encouraged. See Chapter 12.0, Neighborhood Traffic
Management.
5. Lots fronting on major streets are to be discouraged. However, when lots must front on a
major street, proposed developments will be required to provide sufficient right-of-way
for local service or access streets (frontage roads) along major streets and routes. Other
- 4-
treatments to protect residential properties by separation of through and local traffic will
be considered.
If frontage roads are used, they shall be designed such that improper intersections with
streets do not occur. Frontage streets by their nature intersect with entrance drives at
close distances. However, they shall not intersect with new or existing streets at points
less than that specified by Town Code (see off street parking requirements in Title 22 of
the Marana Land Development Code).
Frontage roads shall have adequate turn-around areas for the design vehicle at roadway
termini (see Appendix).
6. The proposed development shall provide streets in conformance with all existing specific
plans, residential design guidelines, and area plans that are approved and adopted by the
Town Council.
7. As determined by area plans, stub streets required for future extension shall provide
temporary turnaround areas at the stub end (see Appendix).
8. Private streets are discouraged. If allowed, entrances to gated, private streets shall
include a turn-around area entirely contained between the ultimate public right-of-way
and the proposed gate. The turn-around area shall be designed in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 4.2 herein.
9. In order to maintain an 85th percentile speed of25-30 MPH, it is recommended that local
street tangents be no longer than 500 feet between speed control points. A speed control
point is defined as a break in continuity (such as a stop-controlled intersection), a
properly designed horizontal curve, or a traffic calming device.
4.2 Cul-de-sacs
Permanent dead-end streets shall be designed with an adequate turnaround area at the dead-end.
In accordance with Town standards, the turnaround area may not be required on dead-end streets
less than one hundred fifty (150) feet in length gMunicipal services, such as fire, sanitation,
school buses, maintenance equipment, delivery and repair vehicles, and postal service, can be
provided without the use of the street. Turnarounds may be designed as cul-de-sacs or "T" or
"Y" shaped configurations as shown in the Appendix.
1. The cul-de-sac is preferred at all times for local street turnarounds because of its overall
efficiency and maintainability, as well as for operational considerations pertaining to
certain types of vehicles (e.g. fire trucks & school buses).
a) The paved turnaround radius shall be a minimum of forty-two (42) feet measured to
the edge of pavement, back of rolled curb or gutter, whichever is provided.
b) The turnaround right-of-way radius shall be a minimum of fifty (50) feet.
- 5 -
2. "T" and "Y" shaped turnarounds may be used for dead-end streets which have a
projected A.D.T. of eighty (80) or less. Vertical curb is required in the turn-around area,
unless it is desirable to provide access to individual units. In such cases, rolled curb may
be used.
3. Improvements to existing dead-end streets on abutting properties may be required during
rezoning or subdivision platting. The purpose of these improvements shall be to allow
proper through connection of future streets. Through connection may require that the
developer remove abandoned cul-de-sac pavement on the abutting property (see
Appendix), and that the full pavement section be carried to property line.
4. Where temporary turnarounds or cul-de-sacs are designed for future extension to abutting
properties, a note shall appear on the final plat listing the street name and indicating the
temporary nature of the cul-de-sac condition.
5. Cul-de-sacs may contain landscaping within a center area island (refer to Appendix):
a) Vertical curb is used around the entire center landscaped area;
b) The radius to the face of the curb is a maximum of eighteen (18) feet;
c) The cul-de-sac is large enough to allow passage of the design vehicle without wheel
paths encountering the curb;
d) The cul-de-sacs are not proposed to be future through streets;
e) The landscaping does not impinge on sight visibility;
f) The Town of Marana shall not be responsible for maintaining cul-de-sac landscaping
and a note to this effect shall be on the final plat. If landscaping is provided, the
developer, or homeowners association shall obtain a license agreement from the
Town prior to the installation of landscaping. Landscaping irrigation runoff shall not
be permitted to drain onto the roadway surface.
g) No dead-end street longer than six hundred feet shall be designed to permanently
remain a dead-end street. See Town of Maran a Land Development Code 06.03.03K
for design guidelines.
4.3 Design Speed
The minimum design speed for local streets is twenty-five (25) MPH. The design speed for
residential collectors is 35 MPH. Higher design speeds may be warranted for certain roadways,
and lower design speeds may be used for mountainous roadways per Chapter 4.12.
4.4 Design Vehicle
All local streets shall be designed for a WB-40 vehicle as defined by AASHTO.
Non-residential subdivision streets and parking area access lanes shall be designed for the largest
vehicles (including service and delivery vehicles) anticipated to use the facilities, all in
consultation with the Town Engineer. Delivery and service routes are to be clearly shown on the
development plan and/or preliminary plat, as applicable. A note shall be provided designating
the design vehicle.
- 6-
4.5 Horizontal Alignment
Minimum horizontal curve design criteria are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Consideration of driver expectancy and coordinated horizontal and vertical geometry shall occur
in subdivision roadway design.
When two local road tangents are connected by a curve of less than the minimum radius, a
"knuckle" or "eyebrow" must be constructed (see Appendix).
Compound and reverse curves are discouraged for local roads. Where this type of configuration
is absolutely needed, it is recommended that tangents be placed between the curves. Tangents
increase driver comfort, expectancy and safety. Where tangents are used, a minimum tangent
length of one hundred (100) feet is required.
4.6 Vertical Alignment
Vertical alignment shall generally conform to the natural topography within the following limits:
TABLE 2
In mountainous terrain (see Chapter 4.12), local street gradients may be up to fifteen (15)
percent, upon approval by the Town Engineer.
1. Normal roadway cross slope shall be two (2) percent. (one (1) percent minimum,
three (3) percent maximum).
2. Cross slope for drainage design may be four (4) percent, at drainage crossings only.
3. Maximum cul-de-sac cross-slope shall be eight (8) percent.
- 7 -
4. Inverted crown streets are not acceptable for local streets. Inverted crowns may be used
for Parking Area Access Lanes (PAAL's).
5. Minimum vertical (stopping) sight distance shall be per AASHTO's "A Policy on
Geometric Design of Highways and Streets", or one hundred fifty (150) feet, whichever
is more restrictive. For other design speeds and grade condition refer to AASHTO's "A
Policy on the Geometric Design of Highways and Streets".
6. Landing areas are required for all stopped conditions. The maximum allowable grade for
this landing area (on approaches to unsignalized intersections) is three (3) percent
(six (6) percent in mountainous terrain, see Chapter 4.12), and this grade must extend at
least twenty (20) feet in each direction from the outside edge of curb line of the
intersecting street.
7. Vertical curves shall be required on local streets where the algebraic difference in grade
exceeds one (1.0) percent. When the algebraic difference is 1.0 percent or less, a grade
break shall be used. Use of the AASHTO vertical curve equation is preferred;
however, a simplified method as shown below may be used. Using that method, the
minimum lengths of vertical curves shall be determined by multiplying the algebraic
difference in grades by the appropriate 'K' factor from the table below, or as specified
in Table 3 (whichever is greater):
Vertical Curve Criteria (for grades less than ten (10) percent)
TABLE 3
All vertical curves shall be symmetrical parabolic curves. The minimum length of a vertical
curve in feet shall be three (3) times the design speed in miles per hour.
When grades are greater than ten (10) percent, vertical curves shall be lengthened in accordance
with AASHTO's "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets", to account for
increased needed stopping distance.
4.7 Intersection Alignments
1. The centerlines of intersecting streets shall have an angle of intersection of as close to
ninety (90) degrees as is practical. In no case will the angle of intersection be less than
seventy-five (75) degrees for local street-collector/arterial intersections and sixty (60)
degrees for local street-local street intersections (see Appendix).
- 8 -
2. Right-of-way lines at the comers of street intersections will be rounded with a curve
radius of twenty-five (25) feet, or greater, as conditions may warrant. The radii must be
adjusted at skew intersections to provide sufficient curvature. In all cases, adequate sight
distance shall be maintained.
3. Uncurbed intersections shall only occur where a new street intersects an existing
uncurbed roadway in an interim state of development. Said interim intersections shall
have a minimum curve radius of forty (40) feet, except when acceleration/deceleration
lanes are required. Uncurbed intersections shall have concrete headers installed to
prevent pavement raveling. A transition to full height curb shall occur at the point of
tangency of the radius.
4. Where acceleration/deceleration lanes are used, the curve radius may be reduced to
twenty-five (25) feet. Larger radii shall not be used, however, as the travelway width will
increase to unsafe dimensions. In all cases the radius shall be designed to be adequate
for the design vehicle.
5. Street jogs with centerline offsets ofless than one hundred thirty-five (135) feet shall not
be allowed (see Appendix).
4.8 Intersection Sight Distance
Clear lines of sight shall be maintained along all streets and driveways (including PAAL's) to
provide for the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Sight visibility triangles shall be
constructed in accordance with AASHTO criteria or as shown in the Appendix based on the
design speeds of the through street and the near side and far side distance requirements from the
following table:
TABLE 4
On streets with one-way traffic and on streets with two-way traffic separated by raised median
islands (i.e. no opening) only the near side sight visibility triangle is required; however a
pedestrian visibility triangle shall be maintained in place of the far side triangle as shown in the
Appendix.
- 9-
Where streets intersect in a cross configuration, each street is considered the intersecting street
with the other street considered the through street for purposes of determining sight lines (see the
Appendix).
The near side and far side distance requirements of sight triangles along a horizontal curve are to
be measured along a chord as opposed to along the arc (see Appendix). The sight line ofthe
sight triangles shall supercede standard building setback lines where the sight line requires a
greater setback distance. Sight visibility triangles shall be depicted to scale and in a surveyable
manner on all final plats, development plans, plot plans and landscape plans. The area within the
sight visibility triangle must be entirely enclosed by the right-of-way, easement, or common area.
Restrictive notes pertinent to sight visibility triangles shall be required on plats, development
plans, plot plans and landscape plans. No improvements between thirty (30) and seventy-two
(72) inches in height relative to the adjacent roadways that might interfere with sight visibility
shall be placed and/or maintained within the sight visibility triangle.
4.9 Residential and Commercial Drive Entrances
Driveway entrances present a potential hazard to the motorist and pedestrian. As such, the
engineer should configure them to allow rapid and definite recognition by the traveling public.
1. On streets with vertical curbs, depressed curb (curb c~ts) and aprons shall be used for
driveways. Driveway aprons shall be of Portland cement concrete constructed to Town
standards with a minimum length running from curb location to back of sidewalk
location. Standard curb returns may be used for service entrances, provided these
entrances are clearly depicted as a "service entrance" on plats and development plans.
2. On streets with roll curb, driveways shall butt to back of curb, shall not have curve radii,
and may be constructed of Portland cement concrete or asphalt.
3. On existing uncurbed streets, driveways shall have returns with a radius of forty (40) feet.
A six (6) inch by twelve (12) inch concrete header shall be placed adjacent to the
pavement on all returns.
If curb is used for drive entrances in other applications, radii shall not be less than
twenty-five (25) feet, and curbing shall not extend into the public right-of-way ifthe
public street is uncurbed.
4. Dimensions and configurations of driveways may need to be adjusted to account for
higher approach speeds (greater than forty (40) mph), traffic, roadway classification,
design vehicle, and pedestrians. Measures may include widening, turn lanes, etc.
Curb returns may be used in place of standard curb cuts only when one (1) or more of the
following conditions occur:
a) The ADT of the driveway exceeds one hundred (100);
b) The points of access to a property should be limited for traffic control and other
reasons; or
- 10-
c) Local conditions occur which involve speed, the amount of truck traffic, or the type of
development and which, in the Town Engineer's opinion, require curb returns.
5. Driveways shall not be located where conflicts will be created with drainage facilities,
intersections, or other improvements.
6. No residential driveways shall encroach into an intersection curb radius where residential
streets intersect.
7. Commercial driveways shall conform to the Town of Marana Access Management

mph or less. Maximum superelevation shall be four (4) percent and runofflengths shall be
computed in accordance with AASHTO's "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and
Streets".
4.11 Roadway Drainage Crossings
The cross-slope of roadways for drainage purposes shall not exceed four (4) percent, and
comfortable speed as well as design speed must be maintained throughout the cross-slope.
Minimum cross-slopes shall maintain a two (2) foot per second velocity for the 2-year peak flow,
to reduce potential deposition of material in the roadway.
4.12 Mountainous Terrain
Mountainous terrain is that condition where longitudinal and transverse differentials in ground
elevation with respect to the roadway are such that:
1. Excessive benching, side hill excavation, or other cuts and fills are needed;
2. Excessive rights-of-way for either cut and fill slopes (multiple cuts and/or fills exceeding
fifteen (15) feet of vertical change) or for roadway alignment are required, or;
3. Significantly lengthened roadway sections and increases in right-of-way are necessary in
order to obtain acceptable horizontal and vertical alignment.
In any case, roadways to be constructed across terrain with an average cross slope of fifteen (15)
percent (as defined within the Town ofMarana's Land Development Code) or greater shall
qualify for the mountainous terrain classification.
For local streets subject to this section, a twenty (20) mph design speed may be used, provided
emergency services and school vehicles can safely traverse the roadway(s).
- 11 -
With prior written approval by the Town Engineer, the design engineer may utilize four (4) foot
shoulder widths and steeper longitudinal slopes (private streets only). Roadside drainage
provisions shall be incorporated to minimize cross-flows and material deposition within the
travel way. Particular attention to stopping sight distance and sight visibility is to be
incorporated into the roadway and grading design. Positive gradient slopes (those rising above
the roadway) shall not be permitted within sight visibility triangles, unless they conform to
Chapter 4.8.
4.13 Environmentally Sensitive Roadways
[RESERVED]
4.14 Alternative Access
Alternative access is important in subdivision design, as it allows for alternative paths of
ingress/egress for emergency and public safety vehicles, as well as permitting for less congested
access and allowing shorter trip lengths.
Subdivisions of more than twenty-five (25) lots shall have alternative access in the form of either
an emergency access point having a stabilized, load bearing, all weather driveway that is
controlled, or more preferably a permanent roadway. Phases or elements of a project of more
than twenty-five (25) lots shall also be provided with alternative access points.
Subdivisions of more than fifty (50) lots must have a minimum of two (2) permanent roadway
accesses. Pursuant to LDC 06.03.03L, deviation from this requirement will require a design
exception report in accordance with Chapter 13.
5.0 RIGHT-OF-WAY
1. Local street rights-of-way shall be in conformance with the cross sections provided
within the Appendix. Rights-of-way must be wide enough to encompass all publicly
maintained facilities including pavement, curb, signage, sidewalks, bicycle paths,
shoulders, clear-zones, road-side ditches, cut and fill slopes, street lights and access to
maintain such facilities.
2. Where not otherwise required by the Land Development Code, easements may be granted
in lieu of right-of-way for certain cross section elements that are not to be maintained by
the Town of Maran a such as utilities, sidewalk/pedestrian/equestrian ways and slopes.

to provide sufficient width for turning lanes, traffic interchanges, clear zones, sight
visibility and other design and safety considerations.
- 12-
4. Should alternative sidewalk locations be approved, or if no sidewalk construction is
required, street(s) shall require a minimum of six (6) feet of right-of-way adjacent to the
back of curb on each side of the street for purposes of pedestrian refuge, meters, street
furniture, or other such uses (see Chapter 6.3).
5. When it is determined by the Town that, in the public interest or for the health, welfare or
safety of same, vehicular access to or from a development or subdivision at a particular
location should be prohibited, a one (1) foot wide no-vehicular access easement shall be
dedicated to the public. Physical barriers may also be required.
6. Supplemental right-of-way and/or easements may be required at all intersections where
standard right-of-way widths are unable to completely enclose sight distance triangles.
7. If parking is designed to be between the sidewalk/pedestrian way and the garage, it must
be designed so as to not block or encroach onto the sidewalk.
6.0 ELEMENTS IN THE CROSS SECTION
Typical cross sections are shown in the Appendix. Selection ofthe appropriate cross section is
dependent upon the functional classification, ADT ofthe street, and the adjacent land use

schools is indirect, pedestrian easements shall be required which will provide direct
routes to nearby schools.
6.4 Shoulders
Uncurbed roadways are only permitted for temporary access roads. On uncurbed roadways a
minimum eight (8) foot graded shoulder shall be provided in accordance with the cross sections
in the Appendix. Shoulder width may be reduced to four (4) feet in width in accordance with
Chapter 4.12, and as shown in the Appendix. The cross-slope of the shoulder shall match that of
the travel lane. Where infeasible due to topography and roadside drainage considerations,
adjustments may be made in accordance with AASHTO guidelines upon approval by the Town
Engineer. Refer to AASHTO design guidelines for foreslope and backslope in cut areas.
6.5 Roadside Clear Zone
Clear zones shall be provided for all streets and are to be in accordance with the requirements
stipulated within AASHTO's "Roadside Design Guide". Sufficient right-of-way or easements
shall be granted to the Town for all clear zones.

utilities installed beneath the pavement, or curb and gutter shall be backfilled and compacted to
ninety-five (95) percent of the maximum density at optimum moisture in accordance with the
approved Grading and Paving Plans.
9.0 DRAINAGE
9.1 Street Drainage
Street drainage should not exceed fifty (50) cubic feet per second (cfs) from the base flood and in
no case shall street flows exceed one hundred (100) cfs at the confluence point exiting the
roadway. The runoff from a ten (10) year storm must be contained between the street curbs. The
one hundred (100) year discharge must be contained within the right-of-way. Outlet structures
for private retention/detention facilities, or other private drainage systems, shall not be permitted
to discharge into the public right-of-way.
9.2 Storm Drain Design
All catch basins with curb inlets shall have formed concrete gutters. The minimum diameter of a

gutterline.
9.3 Cut-off Walls
Required cut-offwall depths shall be designed one (1) foot deeper than the scour depth as
determined by the use ofthe approved local scour equations. However, in no case shall cut-off
walls be less than one (1) foot in depth. Sliding and overturning moments may need to be
analyzed for cut-off wall protected dip sections on all-weather access streets. Cut-off walls shall
be placed four (4) feet out from the upstream roadway edge of pavement line, and to the edge of
the shoulder downstream. The pavement shall be widened to the upstream and downstream cut-
off walls.

Drainage conveyed within the street while being delivered to channels or outlets may be
disposed of through depressed curb openings no greater than ten (10) feet in length unless in
- 18 -
environmentally sensitive areas, and with the approval of the Development Services
Administrator. These shall be fitted with outlet aprons. When stormwater runoff is crossing
pedestrian ways scuppers shall be used. Should the hydraulic design require greater conveyance
than can be provided by such an opening, some other structure must be used. Roadway curb
openings and drainage inlets shall be fitted with appropriate barricades as necessary, and the
pavement-to-inlet grade shall not be less than two (2) percent.
At locations where runoff leaves the roadway, physical means of earth stabilization or pavement
protection must not interfere with clear zone requirements, and must be traversable by errant
vehicles without risk of damage to those vehicles.
10.0 PAVEMENT DESIGN
1. These pavement design standards apply to all local street improvement projects designed
as a part of development. Each development that involves street construction shall
submit for approval a Pavement Design Report containing the following information for
each street: a tabulation of results of soil subgrade tests; projected ADT's, including
construction traffic; equivalent single axle loads (ESAL) used, including construction
traffic; structural numbers (SN); and pavement thickness for each street. A Pavement
Design Report may be waived by the Town Engineer for parking lots in private
developments. A minimum twenty (20) year pavement design life is required. The
twenty (20) year design life is to be computed beginning in the build-out year. The build-
out year is defined as that year when all homeslbuildings are projected to be completed
within the proposed development. Estimated construction traffic through build-out must
be considered.
2. The following ESAL's, based on the twenty (20) year projected ADT, will be accepted
for pavement design:
TABLE 5
When the projected twenty (20) year ADT exceeds twenty-five hundred (2500), or when the
engineer desires to calculate his/her own ESAL's, complete calculations, including a breakdown
of the traffic by vehicle type, shall be included in the Pavement Design Report. The ESAL
calculations shall be based on the twenty (20) year design period and the following ESAL
factors:
- 19 -
TABLE 6
Please refer to:
"Materials - Preliminary Engineering and Design Manual", ADOT
"Guide for Design of Pavement Structures", AASHTO
3. Subgrade sampling and testing for roadways shall be accomplished in accordance with
standard ADOT procedures and the results tabulated in the Pavement Design Report.
Soil support values shall be calculated in accordance with ADOT's "Materials-
Preliminary Engineering and Design Manual" and the selection of a design soil support
value shall be fully documented in the Pavement Design Report.
4. Weighted structural numbers shall be calculated using the design soil support value, the
appropriate ESAL, and a regional factor of 1.7. The minimum weighted structural
number is to be 1.30. A minimum terminal serviceability index of2.0 (ADOT) is
acceptable for design of local streets.
5. Pavement thicknesses shall be calculated in accordance with the design equations in the
ADOT manual. The layer coefficient for asphaltic concrete shall be obtained from the
ADOT manual. The layer coefficient for aggregate base course is 0.12. Minimum
thicknesses are to be as follows (or as determined by Soils Engineer):
TABLE 7
6. Subbase material should be of significantly better quality than native soil. Subbase may
not be used as part of the pavement section when the sub grade soil has an R-value of
thirty (30) or greater. In addition, when subbase material is used, the thickness of the
subbase may not be more than one-and-a half (1.5) times the combined thickness ofthe
asphalt and aggregate base courses. The layer coefficient for material, which meets
minimum Town of Maran a standards for subbase, is 0.05. If better quality material is
used, a larger layer coefficient may be used in accordance with the ADOT manual.
- 20-
7. When existing streets are widened, the new pavement section shall either match the
existing pavement section or meet minimum thicknesses as required in paragraph 5
above, whichever is greater. Upon completion of a pavement widening, the complete
roadway cross section may be required to receive a chip seal coat or asphaltic concrete
overlay, at the discretion of the Town Engineer, for the entire length of the pavement
widening. Appropriate pavement markings and traffic control signage will be required
with the seal coat/overlay application.
8. When through streets are designed which may ultimately connect to future developments,
pavement design shall accommodate future wheel loads, including construction traffic, to
account for use ofthe roadway as a haul-road.
11.0 TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAGE AND PAVEMENT MARKINGS
1. All traffic control signage and pavement markings within new subdivisions shall be
posted and installed in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(Millennium Edition) and Pima County/City of Tucson's Pavement Marking Design
Manual and Signing Manual (latest editions). A separate signage and/or striping plan
shall be submitted for the Town's review and approval. The plan is to be integral to the
project construction documents (1st submittal of the improvement plans).
2. All temporary ends of road shall be posted with post barricades or end of road markers,
five (5) feet on-center, across the pavement projection. If grading has occurred in the
alignment beyond the end of road, at least two (2) permanent Type 3 barricades as
described within the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" shall be added to the
road end. An advisory sign stating, "Future Roadway Extension" of 24" x 24" shall be
installed at the temporary end of roadway.
3. Upon review oftraffic operational characteristics and within the one (1) year warranty,
the Town Engineer may request additional signage or pavement markings by the
developer. Said additions shall be provided at no cost to the Town.
4. All private streets shall be posted "NOT A TOWN MAINTAINED STREET - PRIVATE"
where they intersect public streets.
5. Pavement markings are to be thermoplastic and meet "Standard Specifications for Public
Improvements", PC/COT. Seal coated streets with pavement markings are to comply
with ADOT standards and have two (2) applications, one of paint, the other of
thermoplastic.
6. Street name signs shall be reflective, shall state the direction of the street, and shall have the
primary name at least four (4) inches high. Prefixes, suffixes, and directions may be no less
than two (2) inches high. The directional prefix shall be in the upper left comer of the sign.
- 21 -
12.0 NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Traffic calming measures consist of traffic control devices and physical elements constructed in
the roadway that control access to neighborhoods, change travel patterns or regulate the flow of
traffic through a neighborhood. Such measures include speed humps, traffic circles/roundabouts,
chokers, diverters and others.
The need for traffic calming measures should be considered when addressing the potential for
cut-through traffic in a new subdivision. If it appears that the volume of cut-through traffic may
be significant, consideration should be given to using traffic calming measures on the impacted
streets.
The traffic calming measures to be used in the Town are currently under development and will
be included in this document at a later date.
13.0 DESIGN EXCEPTIONS
It is recognized that land is unique, and there may be alternative design solutions to those
mandated by these standards that will satisfy AASHTO, Fire Code, and other standards.
In the event an engineer wishes to employ alternative standards, a design exception report may
be submitted to the Town to substantiate the proposal. As required, the design exception report
must, at a minimum, provide:
1. The section of these standards from which relief is desired;
2. The supporting standards for the proposed alternative;
3. An approval letter from the Northwest Fire District;
4. Approvals from any affected utilities; and
5. Other justification, as deemed appropriate by the applicant.
Five (5) copies ofthe design exception report will be submitted to the Town of Maran a
Development Coordinator, together with an application and fees (if applicable).
The design exception report will be reviewed by the Subdivision Engineer, Planning Director,
and others as deemed necessary. A recommendation will be forwarded to the Planning
Commission at its next available meeting, but no later than two (2) weeks from the date of
application.
