[Amended 2-1-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005]
All construction within the Town shall be in accordance with Article
II, Design Standards, unless otherwise approved by the Town or its authorized representative.
A. Maintenance and protection of traffic. The owner shall maintain traffic and protect the public from damage to person and property while construction is being performed in any public right-of-way or any private street. Travel shall be maintained over a reasonably smooth traveled way which shall be marked as necessary for the type of street so that a person who has no knowledge of conditions can safely, and with a minimum of discomfort and inconvenience, drive or walk over all or any portion of the street. The Town shall determine whether one-way or two-way traffic shall be maintained. See §
74-13C for related information concerning excavation.
B. Clean up and repair. The owner shall clean up all
debris or materials left as a result of his work and completely repair
damage caused by him to any public or private property, including
any existing street he may have used. Resetting of surveying points
and reseeding roadside areas are included in repairs required.
C. Restoration of paved street surfaces.
(1) All utilities within street rights-of-way shall be
installed before streets are paved. However, repairs or reconstruction
after paving may require pavement restoration which shall be accomplished
as follows:
(a) Backfilling shall be as required for backfill within a street right-of-way, see §
74-13H. The edge of the pavement shall be cut evenly with a chisel or saw at least 18 inches beyond the edge of the excavation. Base material and paving equal in thickness and quality to that of the original paving shall be constructed in accordance with the standards for pavement construction. The joint between original pavement and the patch shall be sealed with a crack sealer approved by the Town.
(2) Additionally, construction within existing Town road
rights-of-way will require permission or a permit for construction
from the Town Highway Department. It will be the responsibility of
the owner to comply with all conditions and restrictions set forth
in said permit.
D. Land for public usage.
(1) Land which the owner has offered for cession to the
Town for recreation purposes shall be cleared of all debris, construction
shanties or materials belonging to the owner. Earth disturbed by the
owner's operations shall be graded and restored to a neat and acceptable
condition.
(2) The owner shall also clear all dead trees and situations
which constitute a public hazard or nuisance as determined by the
Town. The amount of clearing, grubbing and grading should be included
in the bond or letter of credit as authorized by the Town or the Town
Engineer.
E. Construction modifications in field. The Town may
require construction of a type not contemplated at the time of final
review, provided such requirements are for a higher type of construction.
This is to allow for proper construction to meet conditions not known
at the time of final review. Such construction changes shall be shown
on as-built drawings.
F. Erosion and sedimentation control measures. Erosion
and sedimentation control measures shall be installed in accordance
with the approved subdivision plans. Prior to any site disturbance,
the owner shall certify to the Town that copies of all reports filed
in accordance with NYSDEC SPDES requirements will be submitted to
the Town Building Department and who will be completing the inspections
on behalf of the owner.
[Added 2-1-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005]
G. Site grading. Each lot shall be fine graded and the
soil stabilized, as determined by the Building Department, prior to
issuance of the certificate of occupancy. When fine grading and soil
stabilization are precluded by snow cover, frozen ground or other
such conditions, the soil shall be appropriately and continuously
stabilized. This stabilization shall be maintained until such time
as final ground cover can be established, which shall occur as soon
as practicable, as determined by the Town Building Department. If,
after ground conditions are determined to be suitable, the work is
not completed in a timely manner, as determined by the Town Building
Department, no additional certificates of occupancy will be issued
in the subject development until such time as the outstanding work
is complete to the satisfaction of the Town Building Department.
[Added 2-1-2005 by L.L. No. 3-2005
H. The Town
may perform or require the applicant/private infrastructure owners
to perform an internal pipe inspection through the use of a camera
or other technology that provides real time viewing and recording
of the inside of the pipes.
