The drainage plan includes detailed plans of
all stormwater drainage facilities, street profiles and other utilities
which may be required by the Planning Board. These plans are considered
to be an integral part of the final plat submission and are, therefore,
the basis for the performance bond and inspection fee.
A. It is intended that all drainage problems within the
limits of the development or subdivision area will be completely resolved
by the design as approved by the Planning Board before any work is
started. However, in the event that an error on the part of the designing
engineer, either of design or judgment, becomes apparent during the
progress of the work or after completion of the work, the Planning
Board reserves the right to stop the work and/or order the necessary
changes to correct the situation. The Planning Board shall be held
blameless for any change so made.
B. In order to achieve better comprehensive drainage
design, subdivision storm drainage systems shall, upon recommendation
of the Planning Board, be partially or completely integrated with
the area storm drainage system or designed in such a manner as to
be partially or completely integrated with the area storm drainage
system. In the following cases, developers may be required to pay
to the Town a drainage contribution towards the cost of such area
storm drainage system:
(1) Subdivisions lying within drainage areas for which
the Town has designed storm drainage collection and disposal systems.
The drainage contribution toward the cost of participating in the
Town drainage system shall be borne by the developer on the basis
of his proportional share of the drainage contributed to the total
system and shall be computed by the Engineer for the Town.
(2) Subdivisions which, because of the small area being
drained, would result in a disproportionate high cost of maintenance
for the system. In such case, the developer shall participate in the
cost of the future drainage systems on the basis of the alternate
cost to him of a drainage system if constructed within the subdivision.
The drainage plans must be prepared by a licensed
professional engineer in conformance with the design criteria and
standards contained herein. These plans shall be submitted in final
form, together with the final plat, at least 15 days prior to advertising
for the public hearing. The final plat shall not be signed until the
drainage plan is approved by the Engineer.
