easements and other rights-of-way, and property lines of residential lots
and other sites, with accurate dimensions, bearings or deflection angles and
radii, arcs and central angles of all curves.
C. The name and right-of-way width of each street or other
right-of-way.
D. The locations, dimensions and purposes of any easements.
E. A number to identify each lot or site in numerical order
within blocks and a letter to identify each block.
F. The purpose for which sites, other than residential lots,
are dedicated or reserved.

his name, address, New York state license number and seal), certifying to
the accuracy of the survey and plat.
K. Certification of the title, showing that the applicant
is the landowner.
L. The water and sewer disposal requirements, with details

a water district and/or a sewer district may be required.
M. The title, scale, North point and date.
N. Cross sections and profiles of streets, drains and sewers,
showing grades approved by the engineer. The profiles shall be drawn to standard
scales and elevations and shall be based on a datum plane approved by the

O. Statements by the engineer certifying that the subdivider
has complied with one of the following alternatives:
(1) That all required improvements have been installed in
accord with these regulations and the requirements of the Council giving conditional
approval of the preliminary layout; or
(2) That a bond or certified check has been posted, which
is available to the city and in sufficient amount to assure such completion
of all required improvements.
P. Offers of cession by dedicating streets, rights-of-way
and any sites for public uses and agreements covering the improvement and
maintenance of unceded public spaces and the conditions and time limits, if
any, applying to site reservations.
Q. A statement by the City Attorney approving as to legal
sufficiency all offers of cession, all covenants governing the maintenance
of unceded public open space and any action taken to establish or extend water
and/or sewer districts and also approving the sufficiency of any bond offered
in lieu of the completion of required subdivision improvements.
R. Protective covenants, in form for recording, including
covenants governing the maintenance of unceded public spaces or reservations.
S. Other requirements: such other certificates, affidavits,
endorsements or other agreements as may be required by the Council in the
enforcement of these regulations. In special cases where there are potential
hazards of flooding, dangers from mining operations or other hazards, in the
opinion of the engineer, the city may require the services of an independent
engineer or expert to recommend conditions under which the subdivision may
be approved. The expense of such engineer or expert shall be borne by the
subdivider.
