[Adopted 4-8-1985 by L.L.
No. 7-1985 (Ch. 13 of the 1966 Code)]
The intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Celoron
is that any owner or group of owners who desire to have a street or
road taken over by the Village of Celoron as a public street or highway
may so declare by offering to dedicate such street or road to the
Village, and agreeing to comply with the following requirements before
any street, road or highway shall be accepted by the Village Board
as a public Village highway, it shall meet with the following minimum
requirements.
The right-of-way shall not be less than 50 feet in width.
[Amended 12-9-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
There shall be a turnaround provided at no more than 100 feet
and no less than 50 feet from the end of the temporary dead-end street
or road. This turnaround must be a minimum of 30 feet in width and
40 feet in depth. It must run perpendicular to the street/road at
a ninety-degree angle. This turnaround should exit from the street/road
to the left when traveling toward the dead end. Construction of the
turnaround must equal that of the street/road requirements.
When the street/road is deemed to be a permanent dead-end street/road
where the end of the street/road abuts adjoining property owners,
there shall be a cul-de-sac constructed of the same specifications
as the street/road. It shall have a perimeter of one-hundred-foot
radius circle, touch but not intersect such property line and the
gores of land bounded by the adjoining property and by the perimeter
of the circle shall be shown on the map as proposed dedication to
the Village and shall be included in any dedication of the street
or road.
Where a natural waterway crossing or adjacent to any street/road
into which said street/road may drain, is deemed insufficient to carry
off the drainage upon a proposed street/road, and in that event, in
the discretion of the Village Planning Board and Village Highway Superintendent,
a storm sewer of type, size and construction acceptable to the Planning
Board and the Highway Superintendent shall be installed. All bridging
and sluice pipe deemed necessary to accomplish the above approved
by the Village Highway Superintendent shall be furnished by the owner.
The cost of sluices, bridges, and pipes necessary to accomplish the
above purpose shall be borne solely by the property owner seeking
to dedicate said land for said purposes.
[Amended 12-9-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
When and in the event a private street/road development shall
have or cause adverse effects from watershed or any other problems
on neighboring towns, villages, or cities, written approvals from
these municipalities must accompany any offer of dedication to the
Village. A permanent easement shall be provided by the owner across
private property and reserved to the Village of Celoron for the installation
and/or maintenance of a ditch or a storm sewer to a natural watercourse
shown on the map and included in the deed of dedication to the Village.
Such permanent easement shall be not less than 30 feet in width.
All trees, brush, stumps and other growth must be removed from
the full fifty-foot right-of-way and any limbs, branches, brush, etc.,
protruding into the fifty-foot right-of-way, must also be removed.
With adequate removal of clay, rocks, and topsoil, side ditches
shall be formed not less than one foot lower than the finished center
line grade. Ditches shall be formed so that there is a minimum of
40 feet between them. The fore and back slopes shall be in accordance
with the instructions of the Village Highway Superintendent depending
on soil conditions and road grade. All sluiced or drain pipes placed
in ditches must be to specifications set by the Village Highway Superintendent.
The street/road shall be graded to a subgrade of 12 inches below
the finished grade, properly crowned to shed water laterally to the
side ditches and thoroughly compacted to a width of not less than
36 feet.
Upon the subgrade shall be spread coarse run of the bank or
creek gravel consisting of 80% stone of sizes from 1/2 inch to no
larger than eight inches (free from clay and soil), broken stone and
slag compacted to depth of 12 inches for a width of not less than
30 feet. Six inches of screened or crusher run gravel with stones
no larger than four inches must then be applied and compacted to a
width of no less than 28 feet.
When and in the event a street/road intersects another town
or village street/road, the proposed street/road must intersect at
a ninety-degree angle to enhance adequate visibility. There shall
be no unnecessary curves or jogs in the street/road unless they are
unavoidable due to contour of terrain of land. If curves or jogs are
deemed necessary, they must be approved by the Highway Superintendent
and may alter normal specification requirements.
When and in the event that a street/road shall intersect a street
or county highway, the owner shall submit to the Village Planning
Board and the Village Highway Superintendent approval, in writing,
from the New York State Department of Transportation or the County
Superintendent of Highways for said intersection.
