The Planning Board may require the applicant to install sidewalks
on one or both sides of the street or provide a ten-foot-wide sidewalk
easement to allow for future installation.
The developer shall provide and dedicate to the Town a complete
municipal water distribution system. The design and installation of
said system shall be subject to the approval of the Planning Board
and jurisdictional agencies. Excess size of the facility may be considered
by the Town at the time of plan submission for future development
consideration or to improve hydraulics within the system, the Town
would then consider financial contribution for the upsizing of such
facility.
Adequate site landscaping shall be required of the developer
on any lands developed in the Town. A landscape plan will designate
type, number, location and height of all plant species with appropriate
planting procedures. Should there be seasonal limitations on planting,
the amount of the landscaping will be held within the letter of credit.
A. Visual impacts shall be considered for planting on sight distances.
B. The trees are to be a minimum of 15 feet from the edge of any right-of-way
and/or easement.
C. There shall be no underground utilities within 15 feet of any proposed
tree.
D. The trees shall be a minimum of two inches caliper and of a variety
that will be medium to small in stature, do not generally have a wide-spreading
root system and do not generally have a large-spreading trunk base.
Permanent reference monuments shall be set at final grade at
all corners and angle points of the boundaries of any subdivision
plan and at all street intersections and such intermediate points
as may be required per Appendix H. These markers shall be set by a licensed land surveyor
and certified to the Town as true and accurate before a certificate
of occupancy is issued.
In every development, provisions shall be made for service from
the private utility supply systems. All utilities serving a subdivision
including street lighting systems, shall be underground, rather than
on poles, standards or towers. Underground conduit and cables shall
be installed per the regulations of the Public Service Commission
and a minimum of two feet below any drainageway.
General site conditions, including pedestrian and vehicular
access and circulation, provision and location for handicapped access;
location, arrangement, size, architectural features and design of
buildings, including to-scale color renderings of all nonresidential
facilities; lighting; signage and the protection of adjacent properties
and general public against noise, glare and unsightliness, or other
objectionable features will also be considered by the Board.
All parking areas, passageways and driveways, except when provided
in connection with one- and two-family residential uses, shall be
surfaced with a dustless, durable, all-weather pavement such as asphalt
or Portland cement. Parking areas shall be so graded and drained as
to dispose of all surface water accumulation. The Planning Board may
alter this requirement at the time of site plan approval when surface
water drainage or other special requirements exist. Appropriate screening
and landscaping, including landscaped islands as deemed appropriate
by the Planning Board, will also be required. All nonresidential facilities
shall provide the required number of handicapped parking spaces and
layout in compliance with the New York State Building Code and the
outlines set forth by the American with Disabilities Act.
At least 30% of the lot area to be developed shall remain open
and unused. This open area may include areas for landscaping, stormwater
retention or detention, in-ground septic systems, underground utilities,
screening and fencing. The open area shall not be paved or used for
parking, storage, buildings or accessory buildings nor shall it include
wetlands, steep slopes or other environmentally sensitive areas.
The Planning Board, at its discretion, can modify the required
front setback to the average of the neighboring adjacent properties
in a residential district.
