Streets shall be graded and improved with pavement,
street signs, sidewalks, streetlighting standards, curbs, gutters,
street trees, water mains, sanitary sewers, storm drains and fire
hydrants, except that where waivers may be requested, the Planning
Board may waive, subject to appropriate conditions, such improvements
as it considers are not requisite in the interest of the public health,
safety and general welfare. If placed in the street right-of-way,
underground utilities required by the Planning Board shall be placed
between the paved roadway and street line, where possible, to simplify
location and repair of the lines. The subdivider shall install underground
service connections to the property line of each lot before the street
is paved. Such grading and improvements shall be approved as to design
and specifications by the village's Engineer, who shall require that
all pertinent village standards and specifications shall be met.
A.
Electric and telephone wires shall be installed underground,
except that the Planning Board may waive this requirement at the request
of the applicant in cases where the Planning Board shall determine
that the installation of underground service will result in practical
difficulty or hardship. In making such determination, the Planning
Board shall take into account the following:
B.
The Planning Board may grant a full or partial waiver
of this requirement and, in approving such waiver, may require the
installation of electric and telephone wires on poles or may require
a combination of underground and overhead service. The location of
utility poles or underground lines shall be shown on the construction
plans submitted by the applicant and shall be approved by the Planning
Board.
A.
The developer may be required by the Planning Board
to carry away by pipe or open ditch any spring- or surface water that
may exist either previous to or as a result of the subdivision. Such
drainage facilities shall be located in the street rights-of-way,
where feasible, or in perpetual unobstructed easements of appropriate
width, but in no case less than 20 feet in width.
B.
A culvert or other drainage facility shall, in each
case, be large enough to accommodate potential runoff from its entire
upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside the subdivision.
The village's Engineer shall determine the necessary size of facility
based on anticipated runoff from a ten-year storm under conditions
of total potential watershed development permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.6[1]
C.
The Village Engineer shall also study the effect of
each subdivision on existing downstream drainage facilities outside
the area of the subdivision. Where it is anticipated that the additional
runoff incident to the development of the subdivision will overload
an existing downstream drainage facility during a ten-year storm,
the Planning Board shall notify the Board of Trustees of such potential
condition. In such case, the Planning Board shall not approve the
subdivision until provision has been made for the improvement of said
potential condition.
A.
Monuments shall be required where deemed necessary
by the Planning Board to enable all lines to be readily reproduced
on the ground. In general, monuments shall be located no more than
500 feet apart on street lines, preferably at street, lot easement
corners or at points of curvature or tangency on curved streets, and
spaced to be within sight of one another along lines entirely within
the right-of-way.
Traffic control and street signs shall be provided
by the subdivider and placed at all intersections, within the street
right-of-way, and in other locations as required by the approving
authority. Standard village street signs shall be approved by the
Village Engineer.
Where required by the Planning Board, streetlighting
standards, of a design and location approved by said Board, shall
be provided and installed by the subdivider.
The subdivider shall install sanitary sewers
and sewerage facilities and water mains and water supply facilities
and fire hydrants of the type and in a manner prescribed by appropriate
village regulations.[1]
Where required by the Planning Board, the subdivider
shall install fire alarm signal devices, including necessary ducts,
cables and other connecting facilities, of a type and in a manner
and location prescribed by the appropriate fire district or other
municipal agency having jurisdiction.
The Planning Board may require the planting
of street trees. Such trees shall be of a hardwood variety indigenous
to the neighborhood and shall be of at least four inches' caliper
at a height of four feet above ground level. Where they are required
by the Planning Board, such trees shall be planted along both sides
of the street, within the street right-of-way, and spaced approximately
75 feet on center.
The Planning Board may require that the subdivider
reserve, clear, grade, pave and otherwise improve an area of such
size and location as will provide a safe and suitable place for the
use of children awaiting school buses. In general, the size of such
areas shall not be less than 100 square feet, and no dimension shall
be less than eight feet. Such areas shall be included within the street
right-of-way and shall be maintained by the holder of fee title to
the street. The layout and design shall be subject to Planning Board
approval.
A.
The Planning Board shall review subdivision proposals
and other proposed new developments to assure that all public utilities
and facilities, such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems,
are located, elevated and constructed to minimize or eliminate flood
damage and that adequate drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure
to flood hazards.
B.
The Planning Board shall require new or replacement
water supply systems and/or sanitary sewerage systems to be designed
so as to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the
systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters and shall
require on-site waste disposal systems to be located so as to avoid
impairment of them or contamination from them during flooding.
