BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

 

The Martin County Standard Details for Road & Site Construction and Public Facilities (Martin County Standards) are updated regularly to keep current industry standards and practices for improved safety and quality control. On April 23, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution No. 19-4.17 approving revisions to the Martin County Standards in its entirety. Some of the revisions adopted did not provide enough clarification; therefore, staff is requesting that the Board approve revisions to the following Martin County Standards as set forth in the attached resolution:

                     R-41 (SIDEWALK): Updates the sidewalk depiction to better reflect the requirements in the notes

                     R-42 (SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT / REPAIR): Updates the sidewalk depiction to better reflect the requirements in the notes

                     R-91A (RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY - CULVERT): Modifies culvert notes

                     R-120A (CROSSWALK): Updates the notes to provide additional clarification and reflect industry standards

                     R-150B (TRAFFIC SIGNAL SPECIFICATION): Updates the notes to reflect industry standards

 

The Table of Contents and the remaining details not listed above were updated to reflect the new adoption date.
