The subdivider shall observe the following general requirements and principles of land subdivision:
A. 
In general, the proposed subdivision shall conform to the Official Map, the Zoning Code, the Master Plan and to the most current Village specifications and standards which may be obtained from the Village Engineer.
B. 
All planning and design standards set forth herein shall be complied with, except where the Planning Board finds that, because of unique conditions of topography, location, shape, size, drainage, environment or other physical features of the site or because of the special nature and character of the surrounding development, the minimum standards specified herein would not reasonably protect or provide for the public health, safety or welfare. Any higher standard required shall be reasonable and shall be limited to the additional improvements necessary to protect the public health, safety or welfare.
A. 
The arrangement of streets in the subdivision shall provide for the continuation of streets in adjoining, existing or proposed subdivisions, and new streets shall be of a width at least as great as that of such existing connecting streets.
B. 
The plan and profile of all streets shall be approved by the Village Engineer. All streets must be guaranteed for one year, from date of acceptance, as certified to by the Village Engineer.
C. 
In general, all streets shall not be less than the width as per current Village requirements. As a general rule, the right-of-way of all streets shall not be less than 60 feet. All streets shall otherwise conform to current standards for the Village.
D. 
Cul-de-sac streets shall not, in general, exceed 400 feet in length and shall be equipped with a turnaround roadway with a minimum radius of 70 feet from the outside curb at the closed end.
E. 
Block lengths generally shall not exceed 1,200 feet in length.
F. 
A pedestrian right-of-way at least 10 feet wide shall be provided near and through the center of every block over 800 feet long and shall be paved with a walk at least four feet wide.
G. 
Each normal block shall be planned to provide two rows of lots, but irregularly shaped blocks indented by cul-de-sac streets and containing interior parks may be acceptable when properly designed and covered by agreements as to maintenance of interior parks.
H. 
Side lines of lots, so far as practicable, shall be at right angles or radial to street lines.
I. 
Corner lots shall be increased in size whenever necessary so as to provide for a front yard setback on each street.
J. 
In general, street lines within a block deflecting from each other at any one point more than 10° shall be connected with a curve. The outer street line in each case shall be parallel to such inner street line.
K. 
No permanent obstruction shall be permitted in any street right-of-way so as to interfere with traffic flow or sight distance.
L. 
The subdivider is advised to contact the State and County Departments of Transportation as early as possible for all requisite approvals, including road cuts.
A. 
Curb radii at intersections shall not be less than 25 feet, and property lines shall be adjusted accordingly.
B. 
Grades on all streets shall conform, where feasible, to the terrain but shall not be less than 1% nor more than 12%. Grading and center-line grading shall be as per plans and profiles approved by the Village Engineer.
C. 
Grades of lots shall have a positive slope of not less than 2% nor greater than 12% from the paved road line to ground level at the front building wall, and the grade of the driveway shall not be greater than 5%, measured from the paved road line.
D. 
All utilities shall be located within the right-of-way of the Village and shall be subsurfaced. The backfill over subsurface utilities shall be of sufficient thickness and adequately compacted to prevent road settlement.
A. 
All street names shown on a preliminary plat or a final plat shall be approved by the Planning Board, as well as the Onondaga County Planning Board, and certified as such.
B. 
In general, streets shall have names and not numbers or letters. Proposed street names shall be substantially different so as not to be confused in sound or spelling with present names, except that streets that join or are in alignment with streets of an abutting or neighboring property shall bear the same name. Generally, no street should change direction by more than 90° without a change in street name.
C. 
Subdividers are advised to contact the Onondaga County Planning Board as early as possible for clearance of proposed street names.
A. 
In case a tract is subdivided into larger parcels than ordinary building lots, such parcels shall be arranged so as to allow the opening of future streets and logical further resubdivisions.
B. 
All lot corner markers shall be permanently located, satisfactory to the Village Engineer, at least 3/4 inch (if metal) in diameter and at least 48 inches in length and located in the ground to existing grade.
C. 
Monuments of a type approved by the Village Engineer shall be set at all corners and angle points of the boundaries of the original tract to be subdivided and at all street intersections, angle points in street lines, points of curve and such intermediate points as shall be required by the Village Engineer.
D. 
All permanent easements shall be not less than 20 feet in width and shall provide satisfactory access to an existing public highway or other public open space shown upon the final plat or the Official Map.
A. 
The pattern of drainage shall be included in the plans. This plan shall clearly indicate the direction of flow of all surface water; the location, size and type of drainage structures; and a notation as to the final point of discharge of the surface water. No drainage structure shall be less than 12 inches in diameter. The pattern of drainage must be adequate and appropriate as determined by the Village Engineer. The subdivider shall make suitable entrances to private driveways, and driveway culverts shall be installed when directed by the Village Engineer. Catch basins shall be installed at culvert ends when considered necessary by the Village Engineer. Construction of ditches shall be under the supervision of the Village Engineer and shall be surfaced with materials approved by the Village Engineer. The Village reserves the right to require special provisions in any case where, in the opinion of the Village Engineer, runoff cannot be adequately handled by the drainage structures shown on the typical sections.
B. 
Land subject to flooding and land deemed by the Planning Board to be uninhabitable shall not be platted for residential occupancy nor for such other uses as may, in the opinion of the Planning Board, pose a danger to health, life or property.
A. 
Areas for parks and playgrounds shall be of reasonable size for neighborhood playgrounds or other recreation uses. No arbitrary percentage of area shall be insisted upon by the Planning Board, but, in general, a subdivider should set aside not less than 10% of the area for these purposes. If the Planning Board determines that a suitable park or parks cannot be practically located in the final plat, the Planning Board may require a payment to the Village for playground or recreational purposes. The Planning Board shall determine the amount of such payment.
B. 
In general, no reserve strips controlling access to land dedicated or to be dedicated to public use shall be permitted.
