A.
All roads or streets shall be at least 50 feet in width
and shall have not less than 24 feet in width from curb to curb of actual
paved area. The Planning Board may, in its discretion, require a wider paved
area where safety conditions and hazards require such additional paving.
B.
In general, within a block, road center lines deflecting
at any point more than 10° shall be connected with a common tangent curve
of radius not less than 300 feet for major roads and 200 feet for secondary
roads. In all cases, both curb and property lines shall be parallel to or
concentric with road center lines.
C.
Grades of all roads shall be the reasonable minimum and,
unless warranted by extenuating circumstances subject to the approval of the
Planning Board, shall be not less than 0.5% nor more than 5% for major and
secondary roads and not less than 0.5% or more than 10% for minor roads. A
continuous gradient shall be used to facilitate surface drainage to proper
natural or artificial outlets. All changes in road grades shall be connected
by tangent vertical curves of not less than two-hundred-foot radius.
D.
Major roads leading into arterial highways shall not
be less than 60 feet wide and with a paved area not less than 30 feet wide.
The Planning Board and the Planning Board consultant may, in the exercise
of their discretion, require a wider paved area on such major roads wherever
it shall be deemed necessary by said Planning Board and Planning Board consultant
to provide such wider roads from a subdivision in order to provide suitable,
safe roads for the accommodation of such traffic. Intersections of major roads
with arterial highways shall be constructed with such curb radii and paved
areas as may be required by the Planning Board consultant to properly safeguard
traffic entering or leaving said arterial highways at major roads, and subject
to the approval of state and county authorities having jurisdiction over such
arterial highways. Property lines shall be established concentric thereto.
E.
The Planning Board consultant, at his discretion, may
require that a physical division be made between traffic lanes on major roads
entering arterial highways for such distance back from the arterial highway
as will, in his discretion, provide proper safeguards for the movement of
traffic. The physical division between traffic lanes shall be a planted area,
raised curb or other physical separation device as may be required by the
Planning Board consultant. Insofar as practicable, major roads leading into
arterial highways from subdivisions shall not be closer than 850 feet to each
other, except in cases of unnecessary hardship or where, for reasons of diverse
ownership of land, it is not possible. For the purpose of this chapter, any
lot line abutting an arterial highway shall be deemed the rear lot line. No
driveway from any abutting lot shall enter upon any arterial highway where
access to any other street, road or highway is possible. There shall be no
reserve strips controlling access to roads, unless the control of such strips
is definitely placed in the Village under conditions approved by the Planning
Board.
F.
Insofar as practicable, all proposed roads shall be located
in direct continuation of installed roads or in direct continuation of proposed
roads shown on the Master Plan of the Village.
G.
At the end of dead-end roads or culs-de-sac, provision
shall be made for turning vehicles by way of a circle of not less than forty-five-foot
radius to outer curb line or other adequate means of turning which may be
approved by the Planning Board. Front lot lines abutting a cul-de-sac turning
circle shall be not less than five feet outside of, and concentric with, the
outer curbline as hereinabove defined.
H.
All applications shall show the type of pavements, which
shall conform to the minimum standards acceptable to the Planning Board consultant,
as follows:
(1)
Street paving. (Item numbers refer to New York State
Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, January 3, 1978, and
as amended.)
(2)
Curbs, gutters, drains and other drainage facilities
shall conform to the specifications of the Village and the Nassau County Department
of Public Works, which must also approve all drainage plans.
(3)
All material and work shall conform to the specifications
of the New York State Department of Transportation.
(4)
The subgrade shall be firm, undisturbed ground or well-compacted
fill acceptable to the Planning Board consultant. Where mud or slime exists,
it shall be excavated to a minimum of four feet below the subbase and filled
with clean fill, free of organic matter, and shall be acceptable to the Planning
Board consultant. The subgrade shall be rolled until thoroughly compacted
with a roller weighing not less than 10 tons. All work shall be done under
the supervision of the Planning Board consultant or duly appointed inspector.
All inspection fees shall be borne by the contractor or builder.
A.
Every plan shall show the location of the proposed electric
lighting and telephone poles or conduits, the location and size of proposed
gas mains and incidental structures, water mains and fire hydrants and shall
indicate where it is proposed to connect with public sewers.
B.
Plans showing proposed electric lighting installations
and telephone poles or conduits and gas mains shall be approved by the utility
company furnishing such service. Every person developing land shall be required
to construct and install all street improvements and water mains in accordance
with the minimum improvement requirements and specifications adopted by the
Village or any department of the Village having jurisdiction thereof. Water
mains, hydrants and water service lines shall be constructed in accordance
with the standards and requirements of the Manhasset - Lakeville Water District.
C.
All maps, plats or plans shall show the location of any
proposed sanitary sewers, together with the size of pipe and incidental structures
and equipment, all of which shall conform to standards and specifications
adopted by the Nassau County Engineer's office or the Belgrave Water
Pollution Control District (whichever has jurisdiction), and the Planning
Board consultant's specifications and with any comprehensive sewage district
plan for the Village of Lake Success.
D.
The Planning Board may require easements not exceeding
10 feet in width on each side of all rear lot lines and the side lot lines,
where necessary, or, in the opinion of the Planning Board, it is advisable
to install storm and sanitary sewers 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 and other utility lines.
E.
All gas, water mains and telephone and electric lighting
service lines necessary to provide these utilities shall be placed underground
wherever possible, at the discretion of the Planning Board.
F.
Sanitary sewers must be provided within the area of each
subdivision in conformity with requirements of the Nassau County Department
of Health.
G.
The Planning Board may, in its discretion, require that
streetlighting, street trees and concrete property monuments be provided and
that recreational areas be provided of reasonable size for neighborhood playgrounds
or other recreational uses. Before the final approval of a plat showing a
new street, road or highway, such plat shall also, in proper cases, show a
park or parks suitably located for playground or other recreation purposes.
In cases where the Planning Board determines that a parksite cannot be properly
located within the plat, in whole or in part, the subdivider shall be required
to pay a park fee to the municipality equal in amount to the estimated purchase
price of the parksite requirement not provided, as determined by the Planning
Board, based on the value of such land at the time of the subdivision procedure.
All such payments shall be held by the municipality in a special Park and
Recreation Site Acquisition and Improvement Trust Fund, to be used either
for the acquisition of sites that are properly located for neighborhood parks,
playgrounds or recreational purposes or for the physical improvement of such
sites, provided that the Planning Board shall find that the proposed sites
or improvements are in accordance with the Master Plan and with any subsequent,
more detailed development plans for the local area in which they are to be
located.
[Amended 4-6-1987 by L.L. No. 2-1987]
A.
Removal of spring and surface water. The subdivider may
be required by the Planning Board to carry away, by pipe or open ditch, any
spring or surface water that may exist either previous to or as a result of
the subdivision. Such drainage facilities shall be located in the street rights-of-way,
where feasible, or in perpetual unobstructed easements of appropriate width.
B.
Drainage structure to accommodate potential development
upstream. A culvert or other drainage facility shall, in each case, be large
enough to accommodate potential runoff from its entire upstream drainage area,
whether inside or outside the subdivision. The Department of Public Works
of the County of Nassau will approve the design and size of such facility.
C.
Responsibility for drainage downstream. The subdivider's
engineer shall also study the effect of each subdivision on existing downstream
drainage facilities outside the area of the subdivision. This study shall
be reviewed by the Department of Public Works of the County of Nassau. Where
it is anticipated that the additional runoff incident to the development of
the subdivision will overload an existing downstream drainage facility, the
Planning Board shall not approve the subdivision until provisions have been
made for the improvement of said condition as approved by the Nassau County
Department of Public Works.
D.
Installation and maintenance of facilities. The subdivider
will be required to install the facilities for the drainage of streets as
required by the Commissioner of Public Works of Nassau County, and other drainage
facilities required to be installed on the plat shall be constructed and completed
prior to the installation of any other improvements required on the plat.
All such drainage structures shall be maintained in good operating condition
until such time as the land is released.
E.
Dedication of land for storage basins and required easements
to Nassau County. Land for storage basins and easements shall be dedicated
to Nassau County. Dedication papers referring to such property to be dedicated
to the county will be prepared by the County Attorney and forwarded to the
subdivider for execution. The execution of these papers by the subdivider
will not necessarily constitute an acceptance of dedication by the county.
Release of bond will not be effected before acceptance of dedicated property
by the county.
F.
Fencing of storage basins. All storage basins shall be
fenced prior to excavation. All fencing shall be constructed in accordance
with the requirements of the Nassau County Department of Public Works, which
requirements and specifications are made part of these requirements and specifications.
To guarantee completion of improvements and utilities in accordance
with the approved map, plat or plan, the Planning Board shall 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 in accordance with provisions of law applicable thereto.
A.
The following documents shall be submitted for preliminary
plat approval:
(1)

engineer or surveyor, showing, in addition to any information required by
the Planning Board during discussion of sketch layout, at least the following:
(a)
Proposed subdivision name; name of village, town and
county; date; true North point; scale; name and address of record owner, subdivider,
engineer or surveyor, including license number and seal; and section, block
and lot designation.
(b)
Names and addresses of all record owners of properties
within 200 feet of proposed subdivision.
(c)
Zoning districts.
(d)
All parcels of land proposed to be dedicated to public
use.
(e)
The width and location of any streets, roads or highways
within the area to be subdivided and the width, location, grades and street
profiles of all streets, roads or highways proposed by the subdivider.
(f)
Location and type of utilities and drainage system.
(g)
Bearings and distances of the entire parcel to be subdivided
and each individual lot, the overall area in square feet of the parcel to
be subdivided and each individual lot.
(h)
Location of curbing.
(i)
All areas subject to easements or restrictive covenants.
B.
If the application covers only a portion of the subdivider's
holdings, 10 copies of a map shall be submitted of the entire tract, showing
an outline of the platted area with its proposed streets and drainage and
an indication of the probable future street system with its grades and drainage
in the remaining portion of the subdivider's tract and the probable future
drainage layout of the entire tract. The portion of the subdivider's
entire holding submitted shall be considered in the light of the entire holding.
