Editor's Note: The drawings originally adopted with these specifications,
entitled "Curb Inlet Detail," "Curb and Sidewalk Detail" and "Typical Street
Cross Section," are on file in the office of the Village Clerk, where they
are available for examination by the public.
A.
It is the purpose of these regulations to establish minimum
acceptable standards of street construction for subdivisions. These requirements
and standards must be met and paid for by the person or firm proposing that
the Village take over such road as a Village street.
B.
These specifications include but are not limited to width,
design, drainage, construction of base and pavement, curbs, sidewalks and
monuments. Dedication of the right-of-way will not be accepted until the developer's
professional engineer or licensed land surveyor and the Village Engineer shall
have certified to the Village Board in writing that the construction of the
street or road has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications that follow and that the total right-of-way area has been cleared
of all debris and all construction completed in a workmanlike manner. When
new street rights-of-way are offered to the Village for dedication, two copies
of the final plan and deed description of the right-of-way shall be submitted
to the Village.
In his written certification as required above, the developer's professional
engineer or qualified licensed land surveyor shall state clearly that he or
his authorized representative has inspected all phases of the street construction
and that all work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans
and specifications.
A.
A plan of the proposed street shall be prepared by a
qualified professional engineer or qualified land surveyor licensed by the
State of New York. The plan shall clearly define the limits of the proposed
right-of-way by metes and bounds and shall include the location, widths, profiles
and grades of the proposed roadway, storm drainage, including culverts and
other drainage structures, and the location of all easements and utilities.
The plan shall also indicate the owner of property and name of developer if
other than owner. One copy each of the plan shall be submitted to the Village
Superintendent of Public Works and Village Engineer at the time of application
to make such road a Village street and to the County Superintendent of Highways
when said proposed street drains toward, intersects or may otherwise affect
a town or county highway. It will then be submitted to the Village. Such roadway
must not be subject to any right or easement by others which will in any way
interfere with its use as a street at all times. Such roadway must be granted
to the Village by a full covenant and warranty deed containing the correct
metes and bounds' description as shown on the approved map, which deed must
be in such form as may be required to entitle the same to be recorded in the
office of the County Clerk of Orange County. The filing fees must be paid
by the applicant.
B.
Permanent and temporary easements must be furnished in
said deed granting to the Village the right to maintain all outlets for surface
water or natural stream drainage which will run from such roadway over private
property to a point where a natural watercourse exists and to which such outlet
and easement will carry such water. A minimum width of easement of 15 feet
shall be required for the maintenance of said easements.
A.
All brush throughout the required right-of-way shall
be cleared. On curves, wherever necessary, such clearance shall be extended
beyond the right-of-way so that a sight distance acceptable to the Village
Engineer shall be maintained. At street intersections, except as noted below,
all obstructions to vision shall be removed from a triangle bounded by the
intersecting street lines and a line connecting the points along such lines
located 30 feet from their intersection.
B.
Topsoil shall be stripped from the bed of the proposed
paved roadway and from all surfaces to be disturbed by cut or by fill, retaining
a sufficient quantity of such topsoil on the site for finish grading as required
below.
Sanitary sewer and water lines, as required, and all storm drainage
work shall be installed in accordance with plans and specifications acceptable
to the Village Engineer. Not later than three days prior to the time any utility
work is proposed to be covered up, the subdivider shall notify the Village
Engineer that the work is ready for his inspection. No utility lines shall
be covered without having been inspected and certified as acceptable by the
Village Engineer.
A.
All streets shall drain into an established drainage
system or extension thereof, as approved from time to time. Where no such
drainage system exists, a drainage system of gutters, catch basins, manholes
and pipes shall be installed, wherever necessary, to secure and maintain a
stable road base condition, prevent flooding and erosion and to prevent water
from crossing the surface of any paved roadway, and said system shall drain
into an approved outlet.
B.
Culverts shall be of reinforced concrete, bituminous-coated
corrugated metal or other material acceptable to the Village Engineer. They
shall be of a size adequate to carry the maximum runoff, subject to the discretion
of the Village Engineer, and shall not be less than 12 inches in diameter
and shall have a minimum cover of eight inches to finish grade at the shallowest
point.
C.
Any necessary storm sewers shall be of reinforced concrete,
bituminous-coated corrugated metal or other material acceptable to the Village
Engineer. They shall be of a size and strength acceptable to the Village Engineer,
except that a diameter of 12 inches shall be the minimum. If doubt exists
as to adequacy of a system, the Village Engineer may require the submission
of the design data in order that the system may be verified. Catch basin covers
shall be similar to the "stream flow" type grating.
D.
Under no circumstances shall water be permitted to drain
off a street other than into an approved outlet.
A.
B.
Subgrade for pavement as hereinafter specified shall
be truly formed to the grade and contour of the finished pavement surface
and, after final shaping and compaction, shall be uniformly lower than the
finished pavement surface by the combined depth of the pavement base and wearing
surface. Subgrade shall be formed by such repeated rolling, shaping, removal
of unsuitable material, re-rolling and reshaping as may be necessary to obtain
a uniform, hard, stable surface which does not push or crawl when rolled with
a ten-ton roller, which roller shall be used for the final compaction. Subsurface
drainage and/or the addition of gravel or stone shall be employed, wherever
necessary, to produce the finished result specified. All piping shall be installed
prior to shaping and rolling of subgrade. Curbs shall be installed prior to
installation of foundation course.
C.
Prior to start of subbase construction, the gravel bank
source will be inspected and three representative samples will be taken and
tested by a laboratory designated by the Village Engineer. Should the gravel
source be approved, samples shall be taken at the construction site by the
Village Superintendent of Public Works or Village Engineer for every 200 cubic
yards delivered and tested. Tests will be paid for by the developer. Should
the gravel be rejected at the source or during delivery, the subbase shall
be constructed of crushed stone. The supplier of crushed stone shall supply
a sieve analysis of supplied stone conforming to Village specifications.
D.
Foundation course.
(1)
The foundation course (subbase) shall consist of 12 inches
