The Commission hereby adopts and incorporates herein, as though
fully set forth, all of the provisions of the Town of Ashford Public
Improvement Specifications and the additional requirements as set
forth in the following sections of this article.
(Please see Ashford Public Improvement Specifications.)
A. Storm drainage systems constructed under these regulations shall
provide for the proper drainage of the tributary area so as to prevent
flooding, scouring, siltation or insufficient flows to brooks, lakes,
ponds, and other watercourses, intermittent streams and water bodies,
and other adverse impacts. The subdivider shall make provisions for
preventing the creation of stagnant water within the limits of the
proposed subdivision.
B. All land development, redevelopment and land conversion activities
shall maintain the after-development runoff characteristics as equal
to or less than the pre-development runoff characteristics in order
to reduce flooding, stream bank erosion, siltation, nonpoint source
pollution, and property damage and to maintain the integrity of stream
channels and aquatic habitats.
(Please see Ashford Public Improvement Specifications.)
A. All subdivision improvements to be dedicated to the Town shall be
inspected by the Commission or such agent as may be designated by
the Commission, in consultation with the Board of Selectmen.
B. Inspections shall be made at the following stages of construction:
(1) When rough grading is complete.
(2) When drainage and all other underground facilities are installed,
but prior to any backfilling.

(4) During construction of bituminous concrete surface and binder courses.
(5) During the placing of concrete for sidewalks.
(6) When curbing is complete.
C. A final inspection shall be made when all improvements are complete
and before acceptance by the Town.
(Please see Ashford Public Improvement Specifications.) Street
monuments shall be placed at all block corners, at angle points, and
the points of curves in streets and at such intermediate points as
may be necessary to identify the street line in the field. The location
of all street monuments shall be indicated on the final subdivision
plan. They shall be installed and their accuracy certified by a licensed
land surveyor. The monuments shall be made of concrete and shall meet
