The highway entrance, accessible stalls and the ground
The two state highways meet in Marlin. TxDOT's Form 1058 permit for a lot's entrance comes from the district office, applied for by the property owner or an authorized representative; Falls County is one of the eight counties in TxDOT's Waco District.
Federal rules set the stall count. The 2010 ADA Standards require at least one accessible space for 1 to 25 total, two for 26 to 50 and three for 51 to 75, and make at least one in six van-accessible. Car spaces are at least 96 inches wide, van spaces 132, and access aisles 60.
No special subbase is needed under the pavement, by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's guide, provided the soil's type, moisture and density are uniform; quoting the American Concrete Institute, it adds that lots with fewer than 200 heavily loaded trucks a day need none against pumping.
Walks to the door are covered under sidewalks in Marlin, the building's floor under commercial concrete work, and all ten Marlin services on one page.

Clear the permits
TxDOT signs the permit for the highway entrance, and any City permit for a new building or addition is settled with the department.
Shape the subgrade
The ground is graded to drain and compacted to one even density, with soft or mixed pockets dug out and refilled.
Pave and hold traffic
Concrete at a 3- to 5-inch slump is placed and jointed, and the lot stays closed to cars for 3 days and to trucks for 7, unless tests prove enough strength, usually 3,000 psi.

Asked about a new lot
How much notice does TxDOT need before a lot entrance on Highway 6 or 7 is built?
Twenty-four hours. TxDOT must have that notice, and the executed permit must be in hand, before any work starts on the highway right of way, the entrance included.
Is paving a lot on the City of Marlin's permit list?
Not by name. The Permit & Inspection Department's page lists building, remodeling, additions, demolition and the moving of houses, structures and mobile homes. A list without paving on it doesn't mean no permit is needed, so ask the department before grading starts.
What does grading cost before a lot is poured?
National 2026 figures put a tractor and operator for grading at $60 an hour, and a compacted gravel-and-sand subbase, where a lot gets one, at $10 to $20 a cubic yard.
