[Amended 6-18-1979 by L.L. No. 1-1979]
Plans showing original and finished grades and plans showing proposed drainage facilities shall be submitted to the Town Planning Board and the Town Superintendent of Highways before final plan approval can be given. No construction shall be commenced until such approval has been given. Prior to final approval the Town Planning Board, upon the recommendation of the Town Superintendent of Highways, shall determine the appropriate highway specification standards based on anticipated residential and/or commercial and industrial use, traffic volume, soil characteristics, percolation, runoff, surrounding land use and any other pertinent information. A determination shall also be made at this time as to the requirement of concrete gutters or ditches and/or erosion control material based on the above information. Upon obtaining final approval and posting suitable financial security pursuant to §
79-29, the applicant shall be issued a street ordinance permit. All construction work shall then be completed in stages as indicated on said permit. Each and every stage must be approved by the Town Superintendent of Highways before commencement may begin on any succeeding stage.
The contractor shall prepare the subgrade to receive the pavement
and concrete gutters in conformity with the lines and grades as shown
on the plans. Before the base material is placed upon the subgrade,
it shall be shaped to line and grade and compacted with an approved
self-propelled roller weighing not less than 10 tons. All hollows
and depressions which develop under rolling shall be filled with acceptable
granular material and shall again be rolled. Granular materials used
to fill depressions shall consist of approved hard, durable particles
100% of which shall pass a one-half-inch sieve and not more than 5%
of which shall pass a No. 200 sieve. This process of shaping and rolling
and filling shall be repeated until no depressions develop. The subgrade
shall not be muddy nor otherwise unsatisfactory when the base material
is placed upon it. If soft spots develop during the rolling, the material
shall be removed and replaced with acceptable granular material as
above.
[Amended 6-18-1979 by L.L. No. 1-1979]
The base course shall be constructed in accordance with the
plans and with Item 304.04 of the New York State Department of Transportation
Specifications dated January 3, 1978.
[Amended 6-18-1979 by L.L. No. 1-1979]
The surface course shall be constructed in accordance with the
plans and with Section 403, Item 403.16, of the New York State Department

Concrete gutters shall be constructed in conformance with the
plans and with Item 624.01 of the New York State Department of Transportation
Specifications dated January 3, 1978. Air-entrained concrete shall
be used for all concrete gutters. Where directed by the Town Highway
Superintendent, the contractor shall place under concrete gutters
four-inch drain tile connected to the storm sewer system.
[Added 6-18-1979 by L.L. No. 1-1979]
A. A street ordinance permit may not be issued until the applicant therefor
has posted a performance bond or, at the Town Board's exclusive option,
some other form of suitable financial security.
B. The amount of the bond shall be determined by the Superintendent
of Highways, computed at the rate of current cost per linear foot
of road.
C. Upon the failure or default by the permittee of or in any of the
terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of the permit on the permittee's
part to be done, performed or completed, said bond shall be used by
the Town for any expense incurred by the Town by reason of such failure
or default on the part of the permittee, and any balance left after
the expense caused by such failure or default, as determined and certified
by the Superintendent of Highways, has been paid and deducted from
the amount of the deposit, shall be refunded to the permittee.
