The subdivision plan submitted to the Commission for approval
and filing in the Town Clerk's Office shall be drawn in ink or printed
on translucent linen, or any other material approved by the public
records administrator, at a scale of one inch equals 40 feet or 100
feet on sheets 24 inches by 36 inches or 18 inches by 24 inches. When
more than one sheet is required an index sheet of the same size, showing
the entire subdivision shall be submitted with the plan. The plan
shall be based on a certified class A-2 survey which is signed and
sealed by a land surveyor and/or professional engineer licensed to
practice in the State of Connecticut and shall show the following
information:
A. Names of applicant and proposed subdivider, if other than owner,
proposed subdivision name and identifying titles and location, scale
of drawing, with North arrow, date of drawing and/or revision(s) thereof
and name, license number and seal of surveyor and/or professional
engineer. Any person who makes application to the Commission pertaining
to real property, the record title of which is held by a trustee of
an undisclosed trust, shall file with said application a sworn statement
disclosing the name of the equitable owner of such real property or
the beneficiary of the Trust.
B. Location and dimension of all existing property lines of the subdivision
with reference to monuments, pins, drill holes, foundations or other
points of reference of a fixed or semi-permanent nature. Assessor's
identification number of the tract to be subdivided.
C. All pertinent features, such as existing structures, easements of record, rock outcroppings, watercourses, ponds, wooded areas and area of all land to be set aside for open space parks and playgrounds in accordance with Article
VIII of this chapter and in addition, all inland wetlands and Watercourses as defined by the Inland Wetlands Regulations of the Town.
D. Names and mailing addresses of present records owners of abutting
properties (including those across a street); name(s) and approval
date(s) of any abutting subdivision.
E. Lines of proposed and existing roads, lots, easements and areas to
be dedicated to public public use; length of all straight lines, adequate
data for all curves.
F. Area of all lots in square feet. Each lot shall be numbered, and
its dimensions on all sides given. If a side is a bent or curved line,
a single dimension shall, nevertheless, be given in addition to any
subordinate dimensions.
G. Proposed road names which shall not duplicate already existing names
unless an extension thereof.
H. Any additional data necessary, together with the aforesaid data,
to enable a licensed surveyor to determine readily the location of
every street line, lot line, boundary line, and to reproduce such
lines upon the ground.
I. Where a new road or extension of existing road is involved, all lots
shall have street numbers assigned in consultation with the Town Assessor.
J. On lots where public sewer and water supply are not available and
on-site septic systems and wells are necessary the developer shall
indicate on each lot the feasible location of building area, septic
system, leaching fields (primary and secondary) and well. Percolation
test hole(s) for each lot shall be required for the primary and secondary
septic field. Observation pits shall be made and shown on the map
to indicate ground water, ledge rock, soil characteristics, or available
good seepage soil below normal depth. The results of all such tests
shall be listed in tabular form by lots and be indicated on the subdivision
plan. All seepage tests shall be made and certified by the applicant's
engineer under the supervision of the Health Officer or his designated
agent. In addition, the location of all test holes shall be accurately
shown on the subdivision plan and staked out in the field. Soils must
have an acceptable percolation rate without interference from ground
water or impervious strata below the level of the absorption system.
The technical standards for determining soil suitability for subsoil
sewage disposal systems will be the State of Connecticut's Department
of Health Sanitary Code. Unless these standards are satisfied, the
area or lot is unsuitable for a subsurface sewage system.
K. Certification under the seal and signature of i) a professional engineer
licensed to Practice in the State of Connecticut as to the adequacy
of proposed public improvements and ii) a land surveyor licensed to
practice in the State of Connecticut that both the survey and the
map conform to the standards of survey and map accuracy respectively
of Class A-2 as defined in the Code of Practice for Standards of Accuracy
of Surveys and Maps, adopted December 10, 1975, as amended, by the
Connecticut Association of land surveyors, Inc.
L. A reference map to the scale of one inch equals 800 feet or one inch
equals 100 feet showing the proposed subdivision and tie-in to the
nearest street intersection. If the application submitted covers only
a part of the applicant's holding, a map drawn to a scale of one inch
equals 100 feet showing an outline of the plotted area with its proposed
road system for the remaining portion of the tract.
M. A separate plan showing measures to be undertaken to prevent sedimentation
and erosion during the development of the subdivision and thereafter.
N. Provision of open space land in accordance with Article
VIII of this chapter.
When new roads or improvements of existing roads are involved
in a subdivision, the subdivision plan shall be accompanied by complete
plan-profiles of each such road drawn on a sheet which shall be either
24 inches by 36 inches or 18 inches by 24 inches in size. The horizontal
scale shall be the same as that used in the subdivision plan. The
vertical scale shall be 1/10 of the horizontal scale. Such plan-profiles
shall show:
A. Elevations at each high and low point and at station points which
shall be numerically indicated.
B. By proper notation identify the type, location and elevations of
bench marks, based on the USGS datum.
C. Grades expressed as percentages.
D. Stations at high and low points, at center line intersections, and
at not more that fifty-foot intervals shall be shown on the plan-profiles
and shall be staked out in the field to facilitate inspection prior
to review and granting of a subdivision plan approved by the Commission.
E. Data showing disposition of surface water, water and sanitary sewer
pipes, including sufficient data and narrative to permit checking
of designs.
F. Typical cross-section of each road indicating location, dimensions
and materials of proposed improvements and utilities.
G. Certification under seal and signature of i) a Connecticut licensed
engineer as to the adequacy of proposed public improvements and ii)
a Connecticut licensed land surveyor that the plan-profiles are substantially
correct.
