[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.
A. 
Where a public storm sewer is reasonably accessible, as determined by the Planning Board, the subdivider shall connect with such storm drainage system and shall do such grading and provide such drainage structures as may be required by the Village.
[Amended 1-8-2007 by L.L. No. 2-2007]
B. 
If the subdivision is in an area where a public stormwater system is not reasonably accessible, the subdivider shall do such grading and provide such drainage as may be required by the Village Engineer.
C. 
Whenever the construction of streets and necessary stormwater system in a subdivision is such that direction of stormwater flow is diverted to affect surrounding properties, the subdivider shall obtain sufficient drainage easements to provide adequate disposal of the stormwater.
[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.
A. 
A complete survey shall be made by a licensed surveyor. The traverse of the exterior boundaries of the tract and of each block, when computed from field measurements of the ground, shall close within a limit of error of one foot to 10,000 of the perimeter before balancing the survey.
B. 
Permanent reference monuments made of stone or concrete at least 36 inches in length and six inches square with suitable center point shall be located and placed within the subdivision. These monuments shall be placed after the grading of streets is completed.
C. 
Metal pin markers at least 3/4 inch in diameter and at least 24 inches long shall be placed by the surveyor at all points or boundary lines where there is a change of direction and at all lot corners before the final plat of the subdivision is approved by the Planning Board.
