MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Request for Pavement Variance
Dear Mr. Martin.
The purpose of this letter is to request for a pavement variance to the City of Goppetl'$
subdivision ordinanCe. We are requesting to. increase the proposed pa~ing and firelane
pavement with subgrade compacted to 95% standard proctor density in lue of lime stablized
subgrade. Attached is a copy of the Ge°tach recommendation to support our request.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the above subject, please contact our office
at (214)654-0123. ~/7~,/~~
Thanks
Chris Lam

ALPHA Report No, 97332-I
Attached is the report of the 9eotechnical exploration performed for the project
referenced above. This study has been authorized by Mr. Mitch Vexler On May 14, 1997
and performed in accordance.with ALPHA Proposal No. GT 4029 dated May t.4, 1997.
This report contains results' of field, explorations and iaboratory testing and an
engineering interpretation of these with respect to available project characteristics. The
results and analyses have been used to develop recommendations to aid design and
construction of foundations and pavement.
ALPHA TESTING, INC. appreciates the'opportunity to be of service on 'this project. If
we can be 'of further assistance, such as providing materials testing services during
construction, please contact our office,

ALPHA Report'No. 97332-1
1. The pavement section in parking areas can consist of at least 5 inches
of aSPhaltic concrete composed of 3.5 inches of binder under 1.5 inches
of surface course overlying a mechanically lime stabilized clay subgrade.
2. In drive areaS, 6 inches of asphaltic concrete (4.5 inches of binder
under 1.5 inches of surface course) overlying a mechanically lime
stabilized clay subgrede should be adequate..
3..The coarse aggregate in the surface course should be COmPosed of
angular crushed limestone raffler than smooth gravel,
6.3.2 Portland Cement Pavement
If concrete pavement is utilized, the above recommended procedure for
mechanical time stabilization (see Section 6.3.1) would be required.. Pavement
can then consist of 5 inches of adequately reinforced concrete in both parking and
drive traffic areas. Theoretically, a thinner pavement section is possible-in 13arl(ing
areas; however, to provide adequate concrete cover for bar reinforcing steel, a 5-
inch thick pavement section is required. Joints in concrete paving should not
exceed 15 ff.
Alternately, mechanical lime stal:)illzation, could be ehmlnated by ~nc easing the
~k,,,xconcrete thickness as follows: ' '
~ 1. 'In parking and drive areas, the concrete thickness should be increased
~../ / by 1 inch ~o a total of 6 inches if mechanical lime stabilization °f'.the clay
.~ % subg.rade ooil is deleted, ' .
/
/ 2. Prior t° construction of pavement on untreated clay subgrade soil, the
/ exposed subgrade should be Scarified to a depth of at least 6'inches and
! compacted to at least 95 % of standard. Proctor maximum dry denSity
~, (ASTM D 698) and withi,n, the range of 1 percent below to 2 Percentage
· ~ points above the material s optimum moisture content,
6.3.3 Pavement Specifications
Pavement should be specified, constructed and tested to meet the following
requirements:
Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete: Texas SDHPT item 340; Type B Base
Course (.binder), Type D Surface Course.
