A. 
Plans including profiles and construction details of the proposed highways shall be prepared by a qualified professional engineer or land surveyor properly licensed by the State of New York. The plans shall clearly define the limits of the proposed right-of-way and shall include the location, width, profiles and grades of proposed roadways, typical road sections, storm drainage, including culverts and other drainage structures, and the location of easements and utilities.
B. 
Plans shall be first submitted to the Town Superintendent of Highways and the Town Engineer. When any proposed highway drains toward or otherwise may affect a county or state highway, plans shall be submitted to the County Commissioner of Public Works or the New York Department of Transportation for review and comments.
C. 
Plans involving subdivision of land.
(1) 
Where approval of a proposed subdivision of land is required, the plans shall be submitted the Town Planning Board for review and approval under the applicable subdivision regulations of the Town. Such plans so submitted shall not be altered, modified or amended after having been approved by the Planning Board, unless revised plans are resubmitted and approved by all proper authorities.
(2) 
Notwithstanding the foregoing Subsection C(1) hereof, the developer shall, at his own expense, provide additional storm drainage facilities as may be ordered by the Town Superintendent of Highways if during the progress of the work, in the opinion of the Town Superintendent of Highways and/or the Town Engineer, such additional structures or facilities are necessary to assure the durability of pavement, the future maintenance of the right-of-way and the welfare and safety of the public. Prior approval of said additional facilities shall be obtained from the Chairperson of the Planning Board, in accordance with the procedure set forth in § 154-13D.
A. 
Performance guarantee.
(1) 
Prior to the start of construction of any approved highway, the developer shall deposit with the Town Clerk a performance guarantee in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney, guaranteeing that:
(a) 
Within two years the developer will complete the construction of all required improvements within the right-of-way in accordance with the approved plans and specifications; and
(b) 
Upon certification by the developer's professional engineer and by the Town Superintendent of Highways that the construction of the highway has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, the developer will dedicate the completed highway to the Town for use as a public highway free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. This guaranty of dedication shall apply to the owner of the property as well as the developer where the two are not synonymous.
(2) 
As guaranty for the performance of the above requirements, the developer shall deposit, as heretofore set forth, a performance guarantee in the amount of 100% of the total construction cost. This amount shall be determined by applying to the quantities or dimensions shown on the approved plans the rate per unit as established by the then-prevailing construction materials and labor costs. The amount proposed shall be approved by both the Town Highway Superintendent and the Town Engineer prior to acceptance by the Town. The above-mentioned guaranty of performance may be reduced in dollar amount upon dedication of all rights-of-way and easements to the Town. The new dollar amount shall be acceptable to the Town Superintendent of Highways and the Town Engineer. The reduced guaranty shall remain in effect for one year following acceptance of the right-of-way by the Town.
B. 
Insurance. The developer shall procure and maintain at his own expense and without expense to the Town, until final acceptance by the Town of the work covered by approved plans and specifications, insurance for liability for damages imposed by law of the kinds and in the amounts hereinafter provided, with insurance companies authorized to do such business in the State of New York, covering all operations under the approved plans and specifications whether performed by him or subcontractors. Before commencing the work, the developer shall furnish to the Town a certificate or certificates of insurance in a form satisfactory to the Town showing that he has complied with this subsection, which certificate or certificates shall provide that the policies shall not be changed or canceled until 30 days' written notice has been given to the Town. The kind and amount are as follows:
(1) 
Liability and property damage.
(a) 
Bodily injury liability. Unless otherwise specifically required by special specification, each policy shall have limits of not less than:
[1] 
Each person: $1,000,000.
[2] 
Each accident: $2,000,000.
(b) 
Property damage liability. Unless otherwise specifically required by special specification, each policy shall have limits of not less than:
[1] 
Each accident: $1,000,000.
[2] 
Aggregate: $2,000,000.
A. 
The developer shall afford the Town Superintendent of Highways the opportunity to inspect the work in order that he, the Superintendent, may assure himself that these minimum specifications are being complied with.
B. 
Such inspections occur at the following listed places in order of construction, and the developer shall give the Superintendent at least two days' notice of such expected completions and shall not proceed to the next order of work until the Superintendent has approved the work inspected:
(1) 
Upon completion of the subgrade.
(2) 
Upon completion of the foundation course, at which time the developer shall furnish the Superintendent with men and equipment to dig or have dug test holes to establish and confirm the depth and quality of the foundation course.
(3) 
Prior to the beginning of paving operations.
(4) 
Upon completion of the asphaltic concrete base course and top course, at which time the developer shall furnish the Superintendent with men and equipment to dig or have dug test holes to establish and confirm the depth and quality of each paving course.
(5) 
The Superintendent, or his representatives, shall be given access to the work at all times in order that he may inspect the work as it progresses.
During development construction, prior to full acceptance, it is expected and understood that as part of the conditions of approval of the subdivision the developer shall agree to maintain all roads including snow and ice removal operations. The developer shall also keep all roads open and accessible to emergency vehicles at all times during the course of construction.
A. 
The edges of the road (i.e., the gutter line) shall be kept free and clear of debris, stone, gravel or any material which prevents the free flow of water. Driveways shall be so constructed that the flow line remains clear.
B. 
The storm sewer system shall be kept clean and operational. Operation of the site shall be in accordance with the approved stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), Chapter 151 of the Town of Milton Town Code, and all applicable permits and water quality standards, as applicable.
C. 
The surface pavement shall be maintained on a continuing basis. Soft spots or other structural defects shall be repaired immediately by excavation and replacement with approved material. "Immediate" shall be considered to be 24 hours from the time of oral or written notification by the Superintendent to the developer, unless arrangements are made satisfactory to the Superintendent to protect the traveling public by lights and barricades until such time as repairs can be made. Potholes and edge raveling shall be remedied on a continuing basis or as ordered by the Superintendent. Repairs shall be made with asphalt concrete (hot mix when available).
Prior to acceptance of a highway constructed under these specifications, the developer's professional engineer shall certify, in writing, that he or his authorized representative has inspected all phases of the highway construction and that all work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and these specifications.
A. 
The conditions to be satisfied before the Town Board considers acceptance of a new highway are as follows:
