This chapter shall be known as the "Charter Township of Northville
Design and Construction Standards" and shall hereinafter be referred
to as "standards."
The purpose of this chapter is to establish the minimum design
and construction standards for grading and surface drainage, parking
lots and driveways, bike paths, water supply systems, sanitary sewer
systems, storm sewer systems, stormwater detention/retention basins
and other engineering improvements for site plan and subdivision development
plans.
Procedures shall be in accordance with Chapter
152, Subdivision Control; Chapter
170, Zoning, as amended; and the State of Michigan Land Division Act being Public Act 288 of P.A. of 1967, as amended (MCL 560.101 et seq.).
All subdivision plans, site plans and utility plans submitted
to the Township for review shall bear the signature and seal of a
civil engineer or land surveyor currently registered to practice in
the State of Michigan under whose supervision the plans were prepared.
Exceptions to these standards may be permitted, provided that,
in the opinion of the Director, the substitute design is equal to
or better than the requirements established by these standards.
In the event that a difference of opinion shall arise between
the Director and his designee, the Director shall prevail in resolving
the conflict.
