[Amended 10-14-2013 by L.L. No. 3-2013]
The plat requirements hereafter listed shall
be designed, furnished and installed by the subdivider in accordance
with the provisions of these regulations and other regulations of
the state and county. They shall be installed before the final plat
is approved by the Planning Board. When required improvements are
proposed for dedication to the Town, a financial guaranty (performance
bond) in an amount to be determined by the Town Board shall be deposited
with the Town to cover the costs of repairs to such installations
should they be damaged during the time between completion and acceptance
by the Town Board. These funds must be deposited prior to Planning
Board approval of the final plat.
A. Drainage, erosion and sediment control.
(1) Construction phase. An erosion and sediment control
plan for the construction phase of the plat shall be prepared by the
applicant and approved by the Planning Board after review by the Cayuga
County Soil and Water Conservation District.
(2) A drainage system shall be designed and constructed
by the subdivider to provide for the proper drainage of the surface
water of the subdivision and the drainage area of which it is a part.
(3) Drainage requirements (grading). The subdivider shall
grade each subdivision in the following order to establish street,
block and lot grades in their proper relation to each other and to
the topography.
B. Trees.
(1) As many trees as can be reasonably utilized in the
final development plan shall be retained and the grading adjusted
to the existing grade at the streets.
(2) Trees shall be provided in all residential subdivisions
of a type compatible with local conditions. Such trees shall be planted
in the front yard setback area spaced at intervals of not more than
50 feet. The size, type and species of such trees shall be approved
by the Planning Board.
C. Street improvements; streetlights. Street signs, streetlighting
and fire alarm signal devices shall be provided at appropriate locations
on all streets. The type, height and design shall be approved by the
Planning Board.
D. Sewer and water facilities. Sewer and water facilities
shall meet the requirements of the Cayuga County Health Department.
E. Public sites and sidewalks.
(1) Where reasonable and desirable, the Planning Board
may require sidewalks, the design of which shall be determined following
discussion with the developer. In general, sidewalks will be required
where there is a reasonable belief that traffic flow will be sufficient
to threaten the safe movement of pedestrians within the subdivision.
(2) The Planning Board may, as it deems appropriate, require the placement of parks, playgrounds and open space with the subdivision. When such facilities are required, they shall be shown on the required plat and be in conformance with the town's comprehensive land use plan. (See §
108-23A.)
(3) The following tables may serve as a guide for the
development of open space areas.

required by these regulations, the subdivider shall execute a construction
agreement with the Town Board in form and substance as determined
by the Town Engineer and approved by the town's legal counsel.
(2) This agreement shall provide that all such improvements
shall be constructed and installed at the subdivider's expense in
compliance with the standards of each of the various types of improvements;
such improvements shall be available to and for the benefit of the
lands within the subdivision; and that such improvements will be completed
and installed within a reasonable period determined by the Town Board.
Any further provisions that the Town Board, on the advice of its legal
counsel, may deem necessary in the public interest may be added.
(3) The construction agreement shall further provide that,
in the case where approval of the final plat has been given before
construction of improvements and a performance bond or guaranty has
been provided, and if the improvements are not completed within a
reasonable time, the town, upon proper notice, may complete the improvements
and recover full costs and expenses thereof from the bond posted for
the faithful performance of said works.
B. Commencement of improvements. No construction of any
improvement or clearing and grading shall be commenced prior to the
approval of the construction agreement by the Town Board.
C. Liability insurance. The subdivider shall furnish
such insurance as is deemed necessary by the Town Board, which shall
indemnify and save harmless the Town from any and all liability arising
by reason of the conditions which may arise or grow out of the construction
or installation of such facilities and for damage to state, county
and Town roads. The insurance shall be of such duration as determined
by the Town Board. A copy of the insurance policy shall remain at
all times with the Clerk of the town.
