of the as-built plans, the Superintendent of Public Works and the
Village Engineer will make a final inspection to determine whether
the completed improvements are in accordance with the approved drawings
and specifications. Upon a satisfactory final inspection report, action
will be taken to release the developer's performance bond.
A.
Authority of Planning Board. This section shall be
applicable only to land zoned for residential purposes in the Village
of East Hampton. The Planning Board is hereby empowered to require
the use of these cluster subdivision provisions and to require the
preservation of up to 50% of the land where it finds, in its sole
discretion, that it would benefit the Village, regardless of the number
of new lots that the applicant proposes to create. If the owner makes
written application to preserve more than 50% of the land, the Planning
Board may use the authority given to it hereunder if, in the Board's
judgment, its application would benefit the Village.
B.
Yield. Where application is made or required pursuant
to this section, the Planning Board shall in no case permit the number
of dwelling units to exceed the number which could be permitted, in
the Planning Board's judgment, if the land were subdivided without
the benefit of this section and conforming to the provisions of the
Zoning Code and conforming to all other applicable requirements. To
demonstrate yield, the applicant shall submit a standard plat with
its application pursuant to this section. Said plat shall be deemed
acceptable for determining yield if its form and layout are deemed
to be approvable by the Planning Board. For purposes of this section,
two or more parcels of property of the same record ownership may be
treated as a single parcel, provided that the several individual parcels
lend themselves to joint planning in the public interest. Where any
parcel lies in more than one residential zoning district, such division
shall not restrict the configuration or location of lots or units
created thereon pursuant to this article; provided, however, that
the Planning Board shall give due consideration in such cases to the
community character, natural resources or other features which the
different zoning classifications were intended to foster or protect.
C.
Dimensional requirements. Simultaneously with the
approval of the subdivision plat, the Planning Board shall have the
authority to modify the applicable provisions of the Zoning Law to
provide an alternative permitted method for the layout, configuration
and design of lots, buildings and structures, roads, utility lines
and other infrastructure, parks and landscaping, as provided in this
section. In its review of the plan, the Planning Board shall determine
the arrangement of the dwelling structures upon the site as well as
their height, length, spacing, open spaces and landscaping, off-street
parking, streets, driveways and all other physical features as shown
on the plan or otherwise described.
D.
Conditions for preservation. The application of this
procedure shall result in the preservation of at least 25% of the
land on a plat in the reserved area for passive recreational, agricultural,
open space, paleontological, archaeological and historic resources.
The Planning Board, as a condition of plat approval, may establish
such conditions on the ownership and use of such lands as it deems
necessary to assure the preservation of such lands for their intended
purposes. The open space created by the use of the provisions of this
article must be clearly labeled on the subdivision map as to its use
and the rights of the owners in the subdivision as well as whether
it is to be dedicated ultimately to the Village or otherwise under
conditions meeting Planning Board approval. The details as to use
and ownership of such open space are further to be set out in a declaration
recorded by the owner or other appropriate instrument. Such open space
is to be preserved in perpetuity.
E.
Property owners' association. If the open space or
an open space easement therein is not dedicated to the Village or
other governmental authority or to an approved private conservation
corporation, the applicant must either, simultaneously with the filing
of the map, create a property owners' association or a neighborhood
corporation embracing all property owners within the map and providing
for adequate contributions for the maintenance of such open space
or otherwise satisfy the Planning Board with regard to the maintenance
of said open space. If a property owners' association is selected
by the Planning Board as the method of maintenance of the open space
to be preserved, the following must be adhered to:
(1)
The property owners' association must be set up before
the lots are sold.
(2)
Membership must be mandatory for each lot buyer and
any successive buyer or each lot created must be legally required
by duly filed covenants and restrictions to pay to the property owners'
association a yearly fee to be used for maintenance of the open space.
(3)
The open space restrictions must be in perpetuity,
not just for a given period of years.
(4)
The association must be responsible for liability
insurance, local taxes and the maintenance of recreational and other
facilities.
(5)
Property owners must pay their pro rata share of the
cost, and the assessment levied by the association can become a lien
on the property.
(6)
The association must be able to adjust the assessment
to meet changed needs.
(7)
The applicant shall make a conditional offer of dedication
binding upon the property owners' association for all open space to
be conveyed to the association, such offer to be accepted by the Village,
should it so choose, upon the failure of the property owners' association
to take title to the open space from the applicant or other current
owner or upon the dissolution of the association at any future time.
F.
Recreational, conservational, agricultural and cultural
uses. The Planning Board may approve uses for open space, and these
uses will be clearly indicated on the final map. These uses may be
as follows:
(1)
Passive recreational uses, such as wooded park areas,
bridle paths, hiking trails, beach areas, etc.
(2)
Conservational uses, such as open woodland, wetlands,
dune areas or farm fields.
(3)
Cultural or historic preservation, such as historic
places, buildings and works of art and archeological or paleontological
sites and such open spaces as will assure that each of the above cultural
aspects are adequately protected in the public interest.
(4)
Agricultural uses.
(5)
Areas used for other purposes, including but not limited
to above-ground utility structures, drainage basins and sumps, or
areas which are to contain substantial improvements, structures, impervious
surfaces and other alterations from the natural state of the land,
shall not constitute open space, unless those improvements bear a
direct and substantial relationship to a conservational, recreational,
cultural, agricultural, historical, or archaeological use or resource
whose inclusion within the reserved area is permitted by this subsection.
(6)
The Planning Board may impose additional restrictions
on the use of reserved area beyond those which are stated in this
subsection or may impose restrictions which are more specific than
the restrictions stated in this subsection.
G.
The Planning Board may require the installation of
screening or landscaping on the reserve area or a landscape maintenance
plan in order to lessen the impact of development hereunder on adjacent
properties.
A.
Suitable monuments shall be placed at block corners
and other necessary points as may be required by the Planning Board
and the location thereof shown on final plats.
B.
Offers of cession. Before Planning Board approval
may be granted on any final plat, formal offers of cession of all
streets, highways and parks not marked by notation on the final plat
as being retained under private ownership shall be filed with the
Board, in a form certified as satisfactory by the Village Attorney,
but approval of the plat by the Board shall not constitute an acceptance
by the Village of the dedication of any street, highway, park or other
public open space.
C.
Performance bonds. All streets and other public places
shown on plats shall be suitably graded and paved; street signs, sidewalks,
street lighting standards, curbs, gutters, street trees, water mains,
utility lines, storm drains, and other structures shall all be installed
in accordance with the standards and specifications set forth in this
chapter except as hereinafter provided; or alternatively, a performance
bond or other security may be furnished to the Village prior to Planning
Board approval. Such performance bond shall be sufficient to cover
the full cost of the same, as estimated by the Village department
designated by the Planning Board to make such estimate. Any such security
must be provided pursuant to a written security agreement with the
Village, approved by the Village Board of Trustees and also approved
by the Village Attorney as to form, sufficiency and manner of execution,
and shall be limited to: a performance bond issued by a bonding or
surety company; the deposit of funds in or a certificate of deposit
issued by a bank or trust company located and authorized to do business
in this state; irrevocable letter of credit from a bank located and
authorized to do business in this state, obligations of the United
States of America; or any obligations fully guaranteed as to interest
and principal by the United States of America, having a market value
at least equal to the full cost of such improvements. If not delivered
to the Village, such security shall be held in a Village account at
a bank or trust company. Such performance bond shall run for a term
to be fixed by the Planning board, but in no case for a longer term
than three years; provided, however, that the term of the performance
bond may be extended by the Planning Board with the consent of the
parties thereto. If the Planning Board shall decide at any time during
the term of the performance bond that the extent of building development
that has taken place in the subdivision is not sufficient to warrant
all the improvements covered by such performance bond or that required
improvements have been installed as provided in this section and by
the Planning Board in sufficient amount to warrant reduction in the
face amount of such bond, the Planning Board, upon approval by the
Village Board of Trustees, after due notice and public hearing, may
modify its requirements for any of all such improvements and the face
value of such performance bond shall thereupon be reduced by any appropriate
amount so that the new face value will cover the cost in full of the
amended list of improvements required by the Planning Board and any
security deposited with the bond may be reduced proportionately. In
the event that any required improvements have not been installed within
the term of the performance bond, the Board of Trustees may thereupon
declare the performance bond in default and collect the sum remaining
payable thereunder, and upon receipt of the proceeds thereof, the
Village shall install such improvements as are covered by such performance
bond and commensurate with the building development that has taken
place in the subdivision but not exceeding in cost the amount of such
proceeds.
D.
Maintenance bonds. At the time of the acceptance of
the dedication of the required public improvements and the release
of the performance bond, a surety bond or certified check, made payable
to the Village, shall be furnished by the developer to guarantee the
workmanship and materials of all public improvements for a period
of one year from the date of acceptance by the Village. This bond
or certified check shall be in an amount which is 1/3 of the performance
bond estimate.
E.
Parkland. Before the Planning Board may approve a
subdivision plat containing residential units, such plat shall show
land set aside for park, playground or other recreational purposes,
when and if the Planning Board has made a finding that a proper case
exists for requiring that a park or parks be suitably located within
the Village for park, playground or other recreational purposes. Such
findings shall include an evaluation of the present and anticipated
future needs for park and recreational facilities within the Village
based on projected population growth to which the prospective subdivision
plat will contribute.
F.
Installation of fire alarm devices. The installation
of fire alarm devices, including necessary connecting facilities,
shall be required or waived pursuant to this section only with the
approval of the Board of Fire Commissioners of the Village. The Planning
Board may, with the approval of the Board of Fire Commissioners, completely
waive any or all requirements in connection with the installation
of fire alarm signal devices, including necessary connecting facilities.
When required, such installation shall be made in accordance with
standards, specifications, and procedures applicable to the Board
of Fire Commissioners.
A.
The Planning Board may waive, when reasonable, any
requirements or improvements for the approval, approval with modifications
or disapproval of subdivisions submitted for its approval. Any such
waiver, which shall be subject to appropriate conditions, may be exercised
in the event any such requirements or improvements are found not be
requisite for the public health, safety or general welfare or inappropriate
because of inadequacy or lack of connection facilities adjacent to
or in proximity to the subdivision.
B.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the
provisions of this chapter or of any regulation authorized under this
chapter or of any covenant or condition imposed by the Planning Board
as a condition of any approval shall, upon conviction thereof, be
subject to a fine not exceeding the sum of $500 or imprisonment for
not more than six months, or both, for each and every such violation.
Each day that such violation continues shall constitute a separate
and distinct additional offense for all purposes hereof.

with applicable ASTM standards. Two final acceptance samples shall
be taken. Each shall represent a lot of material of a size corresponding
to each of two full days' production for delivery to the project site.
No sample, for whatever purpose taken, should be composed of less
than three increments selected at random from the full flow of material
which would be required to fill a normal delivery truck, that amount
being considered a batch. Test results representing at least three
batches sampled in the prescribed manner shall be required to represent
each lot under consideration for acceptance and shall be submitted
to Village Engineer for his approval. The cost of laboratory testing
shall be borne by the contractor.
(2)
Construction methods.
(b)
The materials for this item shall be delivered
to the job site in a well-mixed unsegregated state.
(c)
The material shall be spread on the prepared
subgrade, using an approved spreader, to a loose depth required to
provide the required thickness of the base course when compacted to
the specified density. The required thickness shall be 4 1/2
inches, except that the Village Engineer may require the depth to
be six inches where the nature of the subgrade may warrant a greater
thickness of base course. The individual layer thickness shall not
be less than three inches or more than six inches after compaction,
as applicable to the required thickness. When the base course is constructed
in more than one layer, the previously constructed layers shall be
cleaned of loose and foreign matter.
(d)

density of not less than 100% of the maximum density of the material
as determined by the Method of Test for Moisture Density Relations
of Soil, Using a 10-pound Rammer and an 18-inch Drop, ASTM D-1557.
(e)
The compaction may be accomplished by any means
that will not cause segregation and that will provide a surface that
is smooth and within the tolerances of this specification. The material
should be damp or moist but not wet during compaction operation to
promote densification. Compaction between curbs, where applicable,
shall be performed by beginning at the curbline and compacting inward
toward the center.
(f)
Segregation occurring during the construction
of the base or before the wearing surface pavement is placed shall
be corrected by remixing or by removing the segregated area and replacing
it with nonsegregated material. If the subgrade material becomes churned
up or mixed with the base course for any reason whatsoever before
the wearing surface is placed, the base course shall be removed, the
subgrade compacted and graded and clean stone base course placed in
accordance with this specification.
(g)
After compaction, the top surface shall not
extend above the theoretical elevation for this course, and after
testing with a straight edge or parabolic template 10 feet in length,
any depression over 1/4 of an inch below the theoretical grade shall
be satisfactorily eliminated.

Aeration. The mixture shall be aerated by loosening
and turning the material by means of plows, harrows, blades or other
approved mechanical methods until the mixture becomes tacky.
(8)
Shaping. As soon as the mixture becomes tacky, it
shall be shaped to the specified uniform thickness and approved cross
section and profile.
(9)
Compacting. Immediately following shaping of the base
course, it shall be compacted with a self-powered roller weighing
at least 10 tons. Rolling shall continue for a minimum of six rollings
and as many more as necessary to remove all tracks produced by the
roller wheels. Along places not accessible to the roller, the base
course shall be tamped thoroughly with mechanical tampers or approved
hand tampers weighing not less than 25 pounds, having a bearing area
not exceeding 48 square inches. Upon completion of the base course
compaction, the developer shall request an inspection by the Village
Engineer and shall not proceed with further roadwork until such inspection
has been made and the work approved.
I.
Asphaltic concrete paving. After completion and approval
of the base course, asphaltic concrete pavement shall be placed in
two lifts. The first lift, to be placed directly on the base course,
shall be an asphaltic concrete binder course 1 1/2 inches thick.
The wearing course shall be an asphaltic concrete top course one inch
thick.
