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:
(1) 
The size and nature of the subdivision.
(2) 
Unusual topographic or other natural conditions.
(3) 
Type of service existing in the area adjacent to the subdivision at the time of application for waiver.
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]

Editor's Note: See Ch. 171, Zoning.
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.
B. 
Monuments shall be set vertically in solid ground three inches above ground surface with accurate reference to a permanently identifiable fixed point and shall meet or exceed the construction requirements specified in the village standards and specifications.[1]

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]

Editor's Note: See Ch. 125, Sewers, and Ch. 165, Water.
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.
