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.

[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.
