No proposed street shall be less than 40 feet
in width, except in cases of hardship, in which case, for special
cause shown, the Planning Board may by unanimous vote authorize a
street of a width of less than 40 feet.
Insofar as practicable, all proposed streets
shall be located in direct continuation of existing streets or in
direct continuation of proposed streets shown on the Master Plan of
the Village.
In case of dead-end streets, provision shall
be made at the terminus thereof for the convenient turning of vehicles
by way of a circle of not less than 60 feet in diameter, or a Y, or
other adequate means.
Insofar as practicable, all streets shall intersect
at right angles. Where streets intersect at other than right angles,
provision shall be made for rounding off the acute angles of such
intersections. The radius on the property line shall be not less than
10 feet.
The Planning Board may require easements, not
exceeding six feet in width, on each side of all rear lot lines and
on side lot lines where necessary or, in the opinion of the Planning
Board, advisable for storm and sanitary sewers and other utility lines.
Easements of the same or greater width may be required along the lines
of or across lots where necessary for the extension of the existing
or planned storm and sanitary sewers and other utility lines.
Every plan shall show the location of proposed
electric lighting and telephone poles or conduits and the location
and size of proposed water mains, gas mains and incidental structures
and shall indicate whether it is proposed to connect to public sewers
or to construct cesspools and septic tanks or other means for the
disposal of sewage.
The grades of all streets and the location of
proposed drains, culverts, catch basins or other means for the disposition
of surface water shall be shown. Street grades shall not be less than 1/10
of 1% at the gutter. Curbs shall be provided on all streets. The distance
between curbs shall be not less than 20 feet. All streets shall be
paved from curb to curb. All streets shall be fully monumented, and
such monuments shall be shown on the map.
All maps, plats or plans shall show the location
of any proposed sanitary sewers, together with the size of pipe and
incidental structures, all of which shall conform to public sewer
systems and with any comprehensive sewage disposal plan for the Village
of Great Neck Estates.
All applications shall show the type of pavement
proposed on each street and the sidewalks, when such improvements
are proposed to be constructed.
Curbs, pavements, drains and other facilities
shall conform to the specifications of the Village Engineer.
The subdividing of the land shall be such as
to provide each lot, by means of either a public street or way or
permanent easement or proposed street, with satisfactory access to
an existing public highway or to a thoroughfare as shown on the Official
Map or Master Plan. There shall be no reserve strips controlling access
to streets, unless the control of such strips is definitely placed
in the Village under conditions approved by the Planning Board.
The Board may in its discretion require that
all streets and other public places shown on such plats be graded
and paved and that sidewalks, streetlighting standards, curbs, gutters,
street trees, water mains, sanitary sewers and storm drains or combined
sewers be installed and that parks be provided of reasonable size
for neighborhood playgrounds or other recreational uses.
