The design standards herein presented are minimum requirements. All roadways, alleys, sidewalks, streetlighting and thoroughfares are to be constructed to the standards of the SCDOT Roadway Design Manual (2017). If any part of this Part
2 conflicts with the SCDOT Roadway Design Manual (2017), the more stringent language shall prevail.
Except in cases determined to be impractical by the Water Department,
sanitary sewer mains shall not be less than eight inches in diameter.
Tap connections shall be provided from mains to each lot line and
marked at the lot line by a permanent iron pin. Storm drainage shall
be provided to the degree deemed necessary by the City Engineer to
prevent property damage.
Where the subdivision contains a park, school or other public
area which is shown on the Comprehensive Plan, the size and exact
location shall be determined by the Planning Commission based on criteria
and requirements specified in the Comprehensive Plan. Where other
public agencies are involved, current criteria and specifications
of said agency shall prevail unless waived.
Land subject to flooding or inadequately served by drainage
facilities will not be acceptable for subdivision unless the subdivider
agrees to make such improvements as will in the opinion of the City
Engineer render the land fit for occupancy.
The subdivider should confer with the Planning Commission regarding
the type and character of development that will be permitted in the
subdivision. The Planning Commission may require that certain minimum
requirements be incorporated in restrictive covenants to apply to
all lots in the subdivision for the purpose of protecting the character
and value of the proposed subdivision and of adjoining property.
