3.03 PLAN VIEW <br />Construction drawings shall include a plan -view as follows: <br />A. Drawing Size and Scale <br />1. Plans shall be prepared on either standard plan/profile paper approximately 24 <br />inches x 36 inches in size or on "half size" drawings approximately 11 inches x 17 <br />inches. <br />2. Horizontal scale shall be 1 inch= 10 feet, 20 feet, 40 feet, or 50 feet. Design details <br />(access ramps, etc.) may use lesser scale to provide required detail. Design detail <br />scales shall be no less than 1 inch = 3 feet. Paving preservation projects, large <br />pipelines and other projects not requiring standard scale detail may use greater <br />scales. Larger scales shall not exceed 1 inch =100 feet. <br />3. Preferred horizontal scales are: <br />a. 1 inch = 20 feet for alleys and reconstruction projects with extensive <br />existing topography; <br />b. 1 inch = 40 feet for new construction. <br />4. Vertical scale shall be 1 inch = 4 feet, 5 feet, or 10 feet. <br />5. The same scale shall be used on all plan/profile sheets of a project. <br />B. Plan Format <br />When both wastewater and stormwater utilities are within proposed street areas, <br />complete design for the street and utilities shall be shown on the same sheet (including <br />plan view, profile view, and construction notes). Submission of separate sheets for <br />wastewater and stormwater utility designs will not be accepted. <br />Plan and profile of each section of improvement shall be on the same sheet, and shall be <br />aligned vertically by stations on the sheet to the greatest extent possible. <br />"Match lines" shall be used from sheet to sheet, and duplication of information shall be <br />minimized. Adjacent sheet numbers shall be identified. The following are prohibitions: <br />1. Match lines shall not be placed within intersection areas. <br />2. Match lines shall not be located at the same station as manholes, curb inlets, or <br />other structures. <br />3. Match lines shall not be placed within horizontal curve lengths or transitional <br />tapers. Match lines shall be located such that the entire curve or taper is on the <br />Public Improvement Design Standards Manual, 2016 Page 3-3 <br />
