Every street which in the opinion of the Planning
Board may become a main artery of travel, shall be not less than 60
feet in width. No other proposed street shall be less than 50 feet
in width, except in cases of hardship, in which case, for special
cause shown, the Planning Board may, by unanimous vote authorize a
street of a width of not less than 40 feet.
Insofar as practicable, all proposed streets
shall be located in direct continuation of existing streets or in
direct continuation of proposed streets shown on the Master Plan of
the Village.
In case of dead-end streets, provision shall
be made at the terminus thereof for the convenient turning of vehicles
by way of a circle of not less than seventy (70) feet in diameter
or other adequate means.
Insofar as practicable, all streets shall intersect
at right angles. Where streets intersect at other than right angles,
provision must be made for rounding off the acute angles of such intersections.
The radius on the property line shall be not less than ten (10) feet.
The Planning Board may require easements not
exceeding ten (10) feet in width on each side of all rear lot lines,
and on side lot lines where necessary or, in the opinion of the Planning
Board, advisable for storm and sanitary sewers, water mains and other
utility lines. Easements of the same or greater width may be required
along the lines of or across lots where necessary for the extension
of the existing or planned storm and sanitary sewers, water mains
and other utility lines.
Every plan shall show the location of proposed
electric lighting and telephone poles or conduits, the location and
size of proposed water mains, gas mains and incidental structures
and shall indicate the location, size and character of cesspools,
septic tanks and other means for the disposal of sewage.
The grades of all streets and the location of
proposed drains, culverts, catch basins or other means for the disposition
of surface water shall be shown on the plan. Street grades shall be
not less than one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) at the gutter.
All applications shall show the type of pavements
proposed on each street and the sidewalks, if any, and other improvements
proposed to be constructed.
The subdividing of the land shall be such as
to provide each lot, by means of either a public street or way or
permanent easement or proposed street with satisfactory access to
an existing public highway or to a thoroughfare shown on an Official
Map or Master Plan. There shall be no reserve strips controlling access
to streets, unless the control of such strips is unqualifiedly placed
in the Village under conditions approved by the Planning Board.
In lieu of completion of any improvements and
utilities prior to the final approval of the map, plat or plan, the
Planning Board may require a bond with a surety company satisfactory
to the Board as surety thereon, to secure to the Village the actual
construction and installation of such improvements or utilities at
a time and according to specifications approved by the Board and to
assure the performance by the owner and developer of any terms and
conditions which may be imposed by the Planning Board upon the approval
of such plot.
No permit shall hereafter be issued for any
building or structure in the bed of any street or highway shown or
laid out on the Master Plan of the Village of Plandome or the Official
Map thereof; provided, however, that if the land within such mapped
street or highway is not yielding a fair return on its value to the
owner, the Board of Appeals shall have power by a vote of a majority
of its members to grant a permit for a building or structure or part
thereof in any such mapped street or highway location which will as
little as practicable increase the cost of opening such street or
highway or tend to cause the least change of such Official Map or
Master Plan, and the Planning Board may impose reasonable requirements
as a condition of granting such permit which shall ensure to the benefit
of the Village. Before taking any action authorized by this section,
the Board of Appeals shall hold a public hearing at which parties
in interest and others shall have an opportunity to be heard.
