The entire area between the gutter or curb and
the side line of street right-of-way on each side not occupied by
a sidewalk shall be graded to within six inches of the finished grade,
shall have six-inch depth of well-compacted loam installed, graded
to slope down not less than 3/8 inch per foot toward the gutter or
curb, and shall be seeded with a high-quality grass seed. The area
shall be maintained and reseeded if necessary. Utility and light poles
shall be placed in the grass plot, centered three feet away from the
gutter or curb face, except that no poles shall be located less than
30 feet from the intersection of tangents of street side lines at
corner roundings.
Coincident with the beginning of construction
of any subdivision street, street name signs shall be erected at the
entrances thereto from existing streets using dark letters four inches
tall on white background and with the bottom of the sign at least
eight feet above ground. Such signs shall be replaced by permanent
street name signs of a type generally in use in Southborough before
release of performance guaranty is requested.
Granite bounds or reinforced concrete at least
three feet long and six inches square in cross section shall be set
under the supervision of a registered land surveyor with the top flush
with the ground and with a drill hole or lead plug denoting the point
at intersection of subdivision boundaries with the right-of-way lines
of existing and new streets and at all angle points and points of
curvature or tangency in subdivision street right-of-way lines. Reinforced
concrete bounds shall be required by the Planning Board at the corner
points of the boundaries of the subdivision and at corners and the
changes in direction of the boundaries of each lot.
