[Ord. No. 53, 8-17-1998]
The improvements set forth under this article are to be considered
as the minimum acceptable standard. All those improvements for which
standards are not specifically set forth shall have said standards
set by ordinance or by published rules of the township. All improvements
must meet the approval of the township board.
The approvals required under the provisions of this chapter
shall be obtained prior to the installation of any subdivision or
project improvements within the township, in public streets, public
alleys, public rights-of-way, and public easements, and/or under the
ultimate jurisdiction of the county.
[Ord. No. 53, 8-17-1998]
A set of engineering plans shall be prepared by a professional
engineer showing all utility improvements. The plan shall show and
conform to the standards and requirements of Ordinance 45 and the
following:
(1)
Surface drainage—building permit. No building permit shall
be issued in any subdivision in the township unless the application
for such permit is accompanied by evidence in the form of plat diagrams
showing topography of such building site and the proposed surface
drainage thereof approved by the township. It shall be unlawful for
any person to impede, block, change or alter the flow of surface drainage
in any manner, or maintain any such impediment or blockage in any
manner in any subdivision, without the prior written express approval
of the township.
(2)
Surface drainage—occupancy permit. No final occupancy permit
shall be issued for a new building until satisfactory evidence is
furnished that the yard grading is complete for the lot or parcel
of land on which the building is located. "Satisfactory evidence"
may, at the discretion of the township clerk, be in the form of a
certificate prepared by and certified by a registered land surveyor
or registered professional engineer showing finished grades. When
weather conditions will not permit the required grading to be done,
a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued by the building
inspector upon the filing with the township clerk of a cash bond,
in an amount to be determined by the township, to guarantee that said
grading will be completed as soon as weather permits. Upon the filing
of satisfactory evidence that the grading has been completed as herein
provided, said bond shall be refunded, without interest.
[Ord. No. 53, 8-17-1998]
(a)
Street signs. An appropriate street sign shall be erected at each
street intersection within the subdivision. The type of sign and location
thereof shall be subject to the approval and direction of the county
road commission. Temporary signs shall be installed by the developer
before construction in the subdivision is begun to facilitate the
location of given lots by emergency vehicles.
(b)
Sidewalks, parks and trees. Sidewalks, parks and trees shall be installed and preserved in accordance with article VII of this chapter.
(c)
Entrance street light. A street light illuminating the vehicular
entrance to the subdivision from existing public roads shall be located
and installed in accordance with the standards of the Macomb County
Road Commission and the Detroit Edison Company. A special assessment
district shall be established coincident with final plat approval
which will enable the township to assess the annual costs for electrical
service on all lots in the subdivision benefitted by the street light.
A notice of streetlighting special assessment shall be recorded with
the register of deeds upon recording of the final plat.
