A. Rough grading. As herein to be construed, the term
"rough grade" shall include and consist of the following: The pavement
area shall be cleared of all underbrush debris, and all topsoil shall
be removed. The surface shall be crowned and graded as required for
proper drainage. This subgrade shall be compacted by a ten-ton roller.
All holes and depressions found in rolling shall be filled with gravel
and the surface re-rolled. The surface must be so thoroughly compacted
that it will not weave under the roller. The subgrade shall be inspected
and accepted by the Superintendent of Public Works prior to any further
work being performed. Mirafi® 500X fabric or approved equal is
required to be properly installed between the prepared subgrade and
the subbase.
B. Pavement subbase. Upon the compacted subgrade shall
be placed a sixteen-inch-thick granular stone layer, thoroughly rolled
with a ten-ton roller. All work shall be inspected and accepted by
the Superintendent of Public Works prior to placing the pavement base
and wearing surface. Compacting is to be done in six-inch increments
in an effort to attain near one-hundred-percent compaction of the
subgrade. Pavement base should be binder Type 3 and be a minimum of
2 1/2 inches in thickness (refer to drawing).
C. Pavement. Any road to be deeded to the Village of
Canastota shall have a finished wearing surface of 1 1/2 inches
of asphaltic concrete Type 7F top on the minimum two-and-one-half-inch
pavement base.
D. Certification. A professional licensed engineer hired
and paid by the subdivider or party seeking dedication of the road
to public use shall also certify to the Superintendent of Public Works
of the Village of Canastota that the rough-grade process, as outlined
above, has been completed and that such road is acceptable for normal
usage as a roadway. Said certification must be made prior to any dedication
of said road in the Village of Canastota.
E. Guaranty. In addition to all of the above, the subdivider
or party seeking dedications of the road to public use, prior to acceptance
by the Village of Canastota, shall guarantee, in writing, to the Village
of Canastota, for a period of one year from the date of acceptance,
said roadway against any flaws or bad conditions arising during said
year and shall agree to correct said flaws or bad conditions after
receipt of notice of the same from the Village of Canastota. If said
subdivider or party seeking dedication of the road fails to correct
the flaw or bad condition within the time provided, the Village of
Canastota may cause the repair to the property and assess the cost
thereof against the subdivider's performance bond, if any, and forfeit
the same or pursue any other legal remedy available.
F. Concrete valley gutters. Any road to be deeded to
the Village of Canastota shall have two-foot-wide reinforced concrete
valley gutters installed along both sides of the new pavement surface,
installed on an acceptable suitable granular subbase (refer to drawing).
G. The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and
location of all streets shall conform to the Comprehensive Plan and
to the Official Map, if any, and shall be considered in their relation
to other existing and planned streets, to topographical condition,
to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation
to the proposed uses of land to be served and/or abutted by such streets.
H. Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than
125 feet shall be avoided.
I. A tangent at least 100 feet long shall be introduced
between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets.
J. When connecting street lines deflect from each other
at any one point by more than 10°, they shall be connected by
a curve with a radius at the inner street line of not less than 350
feet for local and collector streets, and of such greater radii as
the Planning Board shall determine for special cases.
K. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly
as possible at right angles, and no street shall intersect any other
street at an angle of less than 75°. Any change in street alignment
to meet this requirement shall occur at least 100 feet from the intersection.
L. Property lines at street intersections shall be rounded
with a radius of 10 feet, or with a greater radius where the Planning
Board may deem it necessary. The Planning Board may permit comparable
cutoffs or chords in place of rounded corners.
M. Existing streets within the subdivided property shall
be widened as shown on the Official Map, if any, to achieve the width
appropriate to the type of the street.
N. Half streets shall be prohibited.
O. Dead-end streets, designed to be so permanently, shall
not be generally approved. They shall be not longer than 400 feet
in general and not longer than 500 feet in any case and shall be provided
at the closed end with a turnaround having a street property line
diameter of at least 130 feet.
P. Street names and house numbers. The Village Board
of Trustees shall approve all street names to avoid duplications or
use of similarly sounding or spelled names. After the acceptance of
a new street name, the Code Enforcement Officer shall submit the name
to the Madison County 911 Center. The Code Enforcement Officer shall
be responsible for the issuance of house number(s) on the new street
and shall make notification to the Madison County 911 Center. The
Code Enforcement Officer shall also be responsible to make notification
to the local U.S. Postal Office and the Canastota Fire Department
of the new street and house numbers.
Q. Limitation of access to the streets.
(1) Collector streets: no limitation.
(2) Minor streets: no limitation.
(3) Culs-de-sac: no limitation.
R. All street construction, regardless of street type,
right-of-way or width, shall conform to the attached detail entitled
"Village of Canastota Highway Specifications for Residential Roads."
S. This section shall be effective for all proposed roads
not deeded, dedicated and accepted by the Village before January 5,
2009, notwithstanding what stage of approval the development is in
on that date.
Where new streets are dedicated to the public
use and dedicated to the Village, such streets shall be improved by
the Village only after the same have been rough-graded and shaped
by the party dedicating the same to such public use. After such rough-grading
in completed, the Village will maintain and improve such highway to
the extent necessary and desirable under the circumstances and the
amount of traffic which said highway shall sustain.
