Mr, .A_-nold was given permission to use four inches of asphalt concrete pave- ment on the improved subgrade. Mr. Lill said he had the report of the Benton Engineering Company who has tested the subgrade for the subdivision which stated that 4 inches of asphaltic concrete placed on the existing subgrade soils, properly compacted to 95% of the maximum dry density at optimum moisture content, will be adequate for most of the streets in the subdivision. One exception to this is along the lower area of Plaza Blvd. just a short distance from Manchester Street. CITY ENGINEER LILL stated when they graded the streets, they made an attempt to take better material from the up- per portion of the subdivision and spread it on the poor material in the lower part of the subdivision. They did a fairly good job but the strict following of our ordinance would indicate they would have to do some more subgrade preparation; however, the streets in question do have a very steep slope and there is not any chance for the subgrade to become saturated, in the opinion of fvir. Benton, and if the subgrade does not become saturated the 4 inch asphalt pave- ment indicated is satisfactory. The lower portion of Plaza Blvd. where the grade is not so steep he proposes to install 3 inches of crushed rock base under the 4 inches of C. pavement. IV1r. Lill said he believes Mr. Bentonos proposals are sound and wotb1 recommend that the Council consider them as being in line with the recommend- ations for the subdivision improvement. Moved by Fessman, seconded by Heck, that the Jngineerss recommendation be approved. Carried, all the Council present voting aye. CITY ENGINEER LILL stated that, our contract with the Dennis Company for the paving of the center portion of Plaza Blvd was for 4 inches of asphalt concrete, and it is recommended that the City use underneath this concrete 3 inches of crushed rock base in the same location as Mr. nrnold is going to and that the City pay for thi portion of the crushed rock base.
