Due regard shall be shown for all natural features,
such as large trees, wooded areas, watercourses, scenic points, historic
spots, and similar community assets, which, if preserved, will add
attractiveness and value to the subdivision. Whenever feasible, shade
trees 12 inches in diameter or larger shall not be removed.
Lots shall be prepared and graded in such a
manner that development of one shall not cause detrimental drainage
on another; if provision is necessary to carry drainage to or across
a lot, an easement or drainage right-of-way of adequate width and
proper side slope shall be provided. Storm drainage shall be designed
in accord with specifications of the Commissioner of Public Works.
Hydrants shall be provided every 500 running
feet on one side of each street unless a greater distance is approved
by the Commissioner of Public Works in writing. They shall be a style
approved both by the Fire Chief, the Commissioner of Public Works
and the American Insurance Association.
See cross sections in Appendix F.
Streetlighting shall be provided for each subdivision
street and shall be such as to give the equivalent of not less than
4,000 lumens of light installed at intervals of 350 feet unless otherwise
specified by the Planning Board.
