[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
The minimum requirements which a subdivider
will be required to make in a subdivision prior to approval of the
final plat by the Planning Board shall be as prescribed by the provisions
of these regulations. All these improvements shall be carried out
in full compliance with the specifications for each of the various
units of work as required and according to the nature of the improvement.
[Amended by L.L. No. 2-1985; 1-12-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015]
A. Profiles, plans and grades. All proposed improvements
shall be made according to these regulations and as shown on the filed
plans.
B. Road surfacing and grades. All lines and grades for
streets and ditches or drainage structures, as the case may be, shall
be established as shown on the filed plans.
C. Materials. Gravel shall consist of a natural or artificial
mixture of hard durable particles of coarse aggregate and binder.
The material shall be free from soft or decomposed particles and excess
clay and shall be fine graded so that it can be compacted into a hard
dense mass.
D. Subgrades. Subgrade shall be formed and drainage ditches
provided before any base course is placed. Subgrade shall be true
to line and grade after thorough compaction by rolling with a ten-ton
roller. Any soft spots or unstable material shall be removed as directed
by the Village Engineer, replaced with acceptable material and thoroughly
compacted by rolling. Ditches shall be true to line and grade and
shall conform in profile to those shown on the filed plat. (If ordered
by the Village Engineer, an additional course of approved stone or
gravel shall be placed on the subgrade to a depth specified by the
Village Engineer. Rolling shall progress until such course is thoroughly
compacted, will not weave under the roller, and is true to line and
grade.)
E. Base course.
(1) After subgrade has been formed, a base course 10 inches
in depth, after rolling, shall be formed of ROB gravel. The gravel
shall be spread, rolled, and filled in two courses, each five inches
in depth. The spreading of gravel shall be done with approved mechanical
spreader equipment. Segregation of large or fine particles will not
be allowed, but the gravel as spread shall be well graded.
(2) After a course of ROB gravel has been spread it shall
be thoroughly compacted by rolling with an approved roller weighing
not less than 10 tons. The rolling must begin at the edges and continue
toward the center and shall continue until there is nonmovement of
the gravel ahead of the roller. Any deviation in grade of 3/8 inch
or more under a sixteen-foot straight edge shall be satisfactorily
eliminated.
F. Wearing surface.
(1) If the base course has been used for heavy traffic
prior to application of wearing surface, it shall be restored to grade.
Any soft spots or unstable base shall be removed and replaced with
No. 4 stone or ROB gravel and thoroughly compacted under the direction
of the Village Engineer.
(2) A sealing coat of bituminous materials, conforming
to Item 64P of the New York State Public Works Specifications, shall
then be spread over the surface at the rate of 1/2 gallon per square
yard, covered immediately with a broken stone, and again rolled or
compacted.
(3) Granular subbase course. The granular subbase course
shall be constructed in accordance with the plan and comply with NYSDOT
Specifications dated January 3, 1978, Section 304 or as amended.
(4) Asphalt surface courses. The asphalt surface courses
shall be constructed in accordance with the plan and comply with NYSDOT
Specifications dated January 3, 1978, Section 403, Binder Type 4,
Binder 3", and Top 1 1/2", and Top Type 6 or as amended.
(5) Special conditions.
(a)
Rough grading must be completed before the construction
of utilities is commenced.
(b)
The subgrade must be inspected and approved
by the Village Engineer before the subbase course is placed.
(c)
The subbase course must be inspected and approved
by the Village Engineer before the binder course is placed.
(d)
No certificate of occupancy will be issued until
the road construction is completed and necessary approvals obtained.
Approval can be obtained from the Village Engineer or a letter of
certification by the engineer designated to inspect the project.
G. General. All work shall be subject to the approval
of the Village Engineer, who shall approve the subgrade and the base
course in sequence before any further work is started.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
Sidewalks shall have a minimum width of four
feet and shall be required on both sides of a street in all subdivisions
where, in the opinion of the Planning Board, they may be essential
to pedestrian movement and safety. Sidewalks shall be constructed
in all instances along arterial and collector streets and highways
indicated on the General Plan and in these regulations.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
A. Public sanitary sewer system. If, in the opinion of
the Planning Board, a subdivision can reasonably be served by the
extension of a public sanitary sewer system, the subdivider, the owner
or the developer shall provide all materials and labor for sanitary
sewers and laterals for each lot for such service. Such materials,
specifications, location and installation shall be in accordance with
Village plans and specifications and subject to the approval of the
Village Engineer. No sanitary sewer system extension shall be accepted
by the Village until a videotape is made of the interior of the system
and filed with the Village Engineer.
B. Individual sewage disposal facilities. If, in the
opinion of the Planning Board, a subdivision cannot be reasonably
served by the extension of a public sanitary sewer system, the subdivider,
the owner or the developer shall provide septic tanks for each lot.
Such septic tanks shall be installed in accordance with state and
local requirements.
(1) Criteria. The absorption ability of the soil, surface
drainage and topography shall be the criteria for determining whether
or not the installation of individual tank disposal systems is feasible.
(2) Percolation tests. At least two percolation tests
shall be made for each acre of land area being platted, and each test
shall be numbered and its location shown on the plat.
(a)
The general types of soil encountered in making
the tests, and the depth of groundwater if found, shall be documented
and submitted with the plat together with the actual percolation time
of each test hole and the name and address of the public official,
registered surveyor and/or engineer making the tests and the dates
on which they were made.
(b)
All percolation tests shall be performed in
accordance with all state and local requirements and shall be in line
with those specified in Public Health Service Publication No. 526,
Manual of Septic Tank Practice.
(3) Septic tank and disposal fields. The septic tank capacity
and the amount of leaching field shall be determined according to
the State Department of Environmental Conservation and local requirements.
(4) All sanitary sewage shall be emptied into the septic
tank, and no tile field shall empty in any manner into open ditches,
roadside ditches, lakes, streams or any other body of water, nor shall
the effluent be permitted to seep to the surface of the ground.
The subdivider shall construct a system of water
mains and connect with the Village public water supply and provide
a connection for each lot. Such system within the subdivision shall
be subject to approval of the Village or its designated official before
acceptance for maintenance and operation is made by the Village.
