non-public, ail-weather drive surfaces, to read as follows:
"F. NON-PUBLIC, ALL-WEATHER DRIVE SURFACES: Temporary or permanent drive
surfaces that are required for emergency access or turnaround for emergency vehicles
must be constructed to function under ali weather conditions. To accommodate a project
during construction, phasing, or permanent installation, drive surfaces that do not meet the
requirements for permanent pavement surfaces may be allowed at the discretion of the
City Engineer for the specific conditions stated below:
TEMPORARY ALL-WEATHER SURFACE (duri.ng construction). - A structure under
construction must be accessible by an all-weather drive surface. This surface may consist
of the permanent pavement as described in Section 9.2.D. or may consist of four inches
(4") of limestone base with a one-course (1) seal coat as specified in the Texas
Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways,
Streets and Bridges, 1993 Edition, Item 316. This temporary ail-weather surface must be
reworked or replaced to meet the permanent pavement standard as described in Section
9.2.D. prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
SEMI-PERMANENT ALL-WEATHER SURFACE (during phasing) - In cases during
phasing of a large project, emergency access and turnarounds often must be added as a
temporary measure until additional phases are constructed. These emergency access areas
may consist of permanent pavement as described in Section 9.2.D., or may consist of six
inches (6") of limestone base with a one-course (1) seal coat as specified in the Texas
Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways,
Streets and Bridges, 1993 Edition, Item 316. If the semi-permanent surface is used, the
six-inch (6") curb is not required, and these areas must be gated or protected from public
usage and signed for emergency access only. When the additional phase is constructed
these areas must be removed or reworked to meet the permanent pavement standards as
described in Section 9.2.D.
PERMANENT ALL-WEATHER SURFACE (permanent) - In some development
scenarios, an emergency access or turnaround must be constructed to meet emergency
access purposes and is not required for public traffic, service vehicles or sanitation
vehicles. In these cases, the area required for emergency access only may consist of
permanent pavement as described in Section 9.2.D., or may consist of six inches (6") of
limestone base with a two-course (2) seal coat as specified in the Texas Department of
Transportation Standard Specifications for Construction of Highways, Streets and
Bridges, 1993 Edition, Item 316. If the seal-coat surface is used, a six-inch (6") curb is
not required, and these areas must be gated or protected from public usage and signed for
