A. 
Minimum improvements and construction standards required of all subdivisions shall be as set forth in this article and as listed in Table 3 below. Where not set forth, they shall be in accordance with the prevailing standards as established by the Planning Board. Alternate improvement standards may be permitted if the Planning Board deems them equal or superior in performance characteristics to the specified improvements. Additional or higher type improvements may be required in specific cases by the Planning Board in order to create conditions essential to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the citizens of the municipality.
B. 
The Planning Board may, subject to appropriate conditions, waive the provision of any or all such improvements and requirements which in its judgment are not required in the interest of the public health, safety and general welfare or which are inappropriate because of the inadequacy of connecting facilities.
A. 
Monuments.
(1) 
Monuments shall be placed so that the scored or marked point shall coincide with the intersection of the lines to be marked and shall be set so that the top of the monument is level with the surface of the surrounding ground. Monuments shall be readily visible and shall be set at the intersection of all lines forming angles in the boundary of the subdivision and at all block corners. Monuments may be of the following two types:
(a) 
Cut stone four by four by 48 inches long, with a drill hole in the center.
(b) 
Concrete four by four by 48 inches long, properly marked at the center.
(2) 
The proposed replacement of any existing monuments shall be clearly indicated on the final plan.
B. 
Markers. Iron pin markers shall be set at the beginning and ending of all curves along street property lines, at all points where lot lines intersect curves, either front or rear, at all angles in property lines of lot and at all corner lots. Markers shall consist of a steel pipe at least 18 inches long and not less than 3/4 inch in diameter.
A. 
The provision of street pavement, curbs (or concrete gutters with Planning Board approval) and sidewalks on all proposed or required public streets shall be as shown on Table 3 below. All streets shall be graded, surfaced and improved to the grades and dimensions shown on plans, profiles and cross sections and shall be submitted by the subdivider and approved by the Planning Board.
[Amended 7-26-1977]
B. 
Table 3 specifies those improvements which are the responsibility of the subdivider. In the case of arterial streets, the State Department of Public Works or the County Highway Department may provide additional improvements over and above those required to be installed by the subdivider.

NOTES:
1 When the arterial street is under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Public Works or the Ontario County Highway Department, the respective agency will determine the requirements.
The letters in the table above (A through D) refer to the following proposed construction standards:
Street pavement
A.
Street pavement standards shall be in accordance with the provisions established by the Board of Trustees and the Village Engineer.
Curb types
B.
Plain cement, reinforced concrete curb; eight inches at the top, nine inches at the bottom and 24 inches in height with the slope to the street side.
C.
Valley gutter - plain cement, reinforced concrete curb; 24 inches wide, nine inches high at maximum width.
Sidewalks
D.
Concrete sidewalk; four inches in thickness, placed on four-inch cinder or crushed stone base.
A. 
Street signs, streetlighting and fire alarm signal devices shall be provided at appropriate locations on all streets. The type, height and design shall be approved by the Planning Board.
B. 
Trees of a type compatible with local conditions shall be provided in all residential subdivisions. Such trees shall be planted in the front yard setback area and shall be spaced at intervals of not more than 50 feet. The size, type and species of such trees shall be approved by the Planning Board.
A. 
Provision of water supply. Where public water supply, in the opinion of the Planning Board, is reasonably accessible, the subdivision shall be provided with a complete water distribution system, including a connection for each lot and appropriately spaced fire hydrants which shall not be greater than 500 feet apart. Where public water supply is not within reasonable distance, an alternate supply, approved by the New York State Health Department, shall be furnished. Waterlines shall be of the size and type as specified in the Village of Shortsville specifications for water mains.
B. 
Location of waterlines. Where public waterlines are installed, all such waterlines shall be located between the curbline and the property line within any street right-of-way.
A. 
Public sewer system. Where the public sanitary sewer, in the opinion of the Planning Board, is reasonably accessible, sanitary sewers shall be installed to adequately serve all lots with connections to the public system. Sewer lines shall be of the size and type as specified in the Village of Shortsville specifications for sewer mains.
B. 
On-lot sewage and water tests. Where evidence indicates that the minimum lot size requirements specified in other sections of this chapter or in any applicable zoning ordinance are not adequate to permit the installation of individual on-lot water supply and/or sewage disposal facilities, the Planning Board may require that the subdivider request the New York State Health Department to make such tests as are necessary to determine the adequacy of the proposed facilities in relation to the proposed lot size, existing grade and soil conditions. In all such cases, a certificate from such Health Department indicating that the proposed facilities are adequate shall be a prerequisite to final approval of the plan.
C. 
Capped sewers. Where the municipality has a plan for extending the public sanitary sewer system into an area that is being subdivided and it is reasonably expected that the area will be served by the public system within a period of five years, capped sewers shall be installed to adequately serve all lots in the proposed subdivision.
D. 
Location of sewer lines. Whenever sanitary sewers are provided, they shall be located as nearly to the center line of any street right-of-way as is reasonably possible, and all such sewer lines shall provide service connections to the property line of each and every lot, said service connections being properly capped.
E. 
Type of sewer system. No combined sanitary and storm sewer systems will be permitted.
F. 
Manholes. Sanitary sewer manholes will be provided at all changes in grade and direction, and in no instance shall the distance between said manholes exceed 400 feet.
A. 
Provision of storm sewers. Storm sewers and related drainage facilities shall be installed when, in the opinion of the Planning Board, it is deemed necessary to provide adequate drainage for the subdivision. Such facilities shall provide a clear channel adequate to handle runoff from a ten-year storm.
B. 
Purpose of storm sewers. When storm sewers, culverts and related installations are provided, they shall be designed as follows:
(1) 
To permit the unimpeded flow of natural watercourses.
(2) 
To ensure the adequate drainage of all low points along the line of streets.
(3) 
To intercept stormwater runoff along streets at intervals reasonably related to the extent and grade of the area drained and at all intersecting streets.
C. 
Special problems. In the design of storm sewer installations, special consideration shall be given to the avoidance of problems which may arise from the concentration of stormwater runoff over the adjacent properties.
D. 
Construction standards. All drainage structures, culverts, boxes, grates, etc., shall conform to the current specifications of the Board of Trustees and the Board Engineer.
A. 
Electric power, telephone and television community antenna lines. All subdivisions shall have easements provided for the installation of electric power and telephone utility lines to serve each and every lot, and provision shall be made, where necessary, for the location of television community antenna lines to be installed in such easements. Electric power, community television and telephone utility lines shall be installed underground and may be required to be installed along the rear property lines.
[Amended 7-26-1977]
B. 
Gas transmission lines. When any subdivider proposes to provide gas transmission lines within a subdivision, said gas transmission lines shall be installed underground between the curbline and the property line of any street right-of-way and shall be located on the opposite side of the street from waterlines or along the rear property lines.
A. 
Performance and maintenance bonds. The subdivider shall install the required improvements under the supervision of the building official. The subdivider shall guarantee the installation and maintenance of the minimum improvements in the following manner prior to the approval of the final plan:
(1) 
By posting with the Planning Board a certified check or bond running to the municipality in an amount sufficient to cover the full cost of installing the required improvements as estimated by the building official. In case of a bond filed, it shall also:
(a) 
Be with surety satisfactory to the Planning Board.
(b) 
Specify the time for the completion of the improvements and installations, such time to be satisfactory to the Planning Board.
(2) 
By posting a maintenance bond to guarantee the maintenance and repair of the streets in the subdivision for one year after the construction has been approved by the Planning Board and acceptance of improvements has been consummated by the municipality.
