A plan of the proposed road shall be prepared
by a professional engineer or qualified land surveyor properly licensed
by the State of New York. The plan shall clearly define the limits
of the proposed right-of-way and shall include the location, widths,
profiles and grades of proposed roadways, storm drainage, including
culverts and other drainage structures, and the location of easements
and utilities. Where the proposed road is part of a subdivision to
be approved by the Village Planning Board, plans shall be submitted
to the Village Superintendent of Highways and the Village Engineer
and Planning Board for review and approval under the applicable subdivision
regulations of the Village. When the proposed road is not part of a subdivision requiring
Planning Board approval, submittals shall be made to the Village Engineer
and Superintendent of Highways only. Such plans so submitted shall
not be altered or amended after having been approved unless amended
plans are resubmitted and approved as provided above. However, the
developer shall, at his own expense, provide additional storm drainage
facilities as may be ordered by the Village Superintendent of Highways
or the Village Engineer if during the progress of the work, in the
opinion of the Village Superintendent of Highways or the Village Engineer,
such additional structures or facilities are necessary to assure the
durability of pavement, the future maintenance of the right-of-way
or the welfare or safety of the public.
Prior to the commencement of construction of
the road for which plans were approved, a field conference shall be
held at the construction site among the developer, developer's contractor
and/or subcontractors that will be constructing the road and the Village
Engineer and Superintendent of Highways in order to review the project
and to clarify any matters which may be unclear to the parties involved.
Construction shall not be commenced until such time as the conference
has been held.
It is expected and it is understood that the
developer shall maintain the road giving access to any houses in such
condition that the residents shall have safe, convenient access. The
minimum conditions for such access are:
A. Paved surface.
(1) The edges of the road (i.e., the gutter line) shall
be kept free and clear of debris, stone, gravel or any material which
prevents the free flow of water. Driveways shall be so constructed
that the flow line remains clear.
(2) The surface pavement shall be maintained on a continuing
basis. Soft spots or other structural defects shall be repaired immediately
by excavation and replacement with good material. Immediate shall
be considered to be 24 hours from the time of oral or written notification
by the Village Superintendent of Highways to the developer, unless
arrangements are made, satisfactory to the Superintendent, to protect
the traveling public by lights and barricades until such time as repairs
can be made. Potholing and edge raveling shall be remedied on a continuing
basis or as ordered by the Superintendent. Repairs shall be made with
asphalt concrete (hot mix when available).
The Village Superintendent of Highways and Village Engineer shall inspect the road prior to the expiration of the continuation bond. Defects found shall be remedied in accordance with §
A125-10 hereinabove, after which a recommendation for release of the continuation bond and insurance will be forwarded to the Village Board for final release thereof.
