A.
These standards
are issued as guides for design and construction of facilities by
private developers. They are formulated so that all facilities may
eventually be accepted for maintenance by the Town. With this objective,
adequate design life, ease of operation and maintenance, and standardization
have been given primary consideration. Each facility shall be designed
and constructed as part of a future complete system.
B.
Any standard
or specification referred to shall be understood to be the current
version of that standard or specification. The Board may require higher
standards where it believes they are justified. The Board will also
consider approval of a design or construction method which is not
included in these standards.
C.
The list
of approved materials[1] is under constant review by the Board, and submission
of requests for inclusion of new material is encouraged. Such requests
should be substantiated by test results, specifications and other
data. Listing of a material or component in the list of approved materials
or approval of a new material does not prevent the Board from requiring
inspections or tests deemed by the Board to be necessary before such
material or component is installed.

Editor's Note: See Approved Materials for Subdivision Construction,
which is included as an attachment to this chapter.
D.
In general,
the subdivision plat, development map, and the plan/profiles included
in the final submission shall include enough detail to show compliance
with design standards. The Board may require the submission of design
calculations for review by the Board's Engineer. In some cases,
at the discretion of the Board, construction methods shall also be
shown.
E.
Compliance
with construction standards, approved materials list and the approved
final submission shall be required during construction. Final approval
of the development construction and release of the letter of credit
or performance bond shall be dependent upon such compliance. Construction
methods shall conform to manufacturers' recommendations unless
otherwise specified in these standards.
