A.
At least five days prior to commencing each major phase of construction of required improvements, the subdivider or contractor shall notify the CEO, in writing, as to when construction of improvements will begin. The municipal officers shall cause inspection to be made to assure that all municipal specifications and requirements shall be met during the construction of required improvements and to assure the satisfactory completion of improvements and utilities required by the Board.
B.
If the inspecting official finds, upon inspection of the improvements, that any of the required improvements have not been constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications filed by the subdivider, he shall so report, in writing, to the municipal officers, Board, and the subdivider or builder. The municipal officers shall take any steps necessary to preserve the municipality's rights.
C.
If at any time before or during the construction of the required improvements it appears to be necessary or desirable to modify the required improvements, the inspecting official is authorized to approve minor modifications due to unforeseen circumstances such as encountering hidden outcrops of bedrock, natural springs, etc. The inspecting official shall issue any approval under this section in writing and shall transmit a copy of the approval to the Board. Revised plans shall be filed with the Town. For major modifications, such as relocation of rights-of-way or property boundaries, changes of grade by more than 1%, etc., the subdivider shall obtain permission from the Board to modify the plans.
D.
For those subdivisions in which construction activity will cease for the winter season, the Town shall have the site inspected by the CEO at the close of each summer construction season. If the CEO determines that additional inspection is necessary, then a qualified individual will conduct the inspection at the expense of the subdivider. By November 1 of each year during which construction was done on the site, the CEO or inspector shall submit a report to the Board based on that inspection, addressing whether stormwater and erosion control measures (both temporary and permanent) are in place, are properly installed, and appear adequate to the job for which they were designed and whether the measures are sufficient to prevent erosion and stormwater pollution during the time in which construction is suspended. The report shall also include a discussion and recommendations on any problems that were encountered.
E.
Prior to the sale of any lot, the subdivider shall provide the Board with a letter from a licensed land surveyor, stating that all monumentation shown on the plan has been installed.
F.
Upon completion of street construction and prior to a vote by the municipal officers to submit a proposed Town way to a Town meeting, a written certification signed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Maine may be required by the municipal officers at the expense of the applicant, certifying that the proposed Town way meets or exceeds the design and construction requirements.
G.
The subdivider or builder shall be required to maintain all improvements and to provide for snow removal on streets and sidewalks and maintenance until either a homeowners' association is established to accept responsibility for the improvements or the improvements are accepted by the Town at the annual Town Meeting.
