A. 
The proposed land uses shown on a plat, whether they are for residential, business, industrial or any other land use, shall conform to the Master Plan and the planning objectives on which it is based, as well as to the requirements of Chapter 196, Zoning.
B. 
Park and open space requirements.
(1) 
Each residential plat shall have a park site consisting of not less than five acres for each 100 dwelling units indicated on the plat, suitably located for playground or other recreation and open space purposes, including passive recreational uses, unless the Planning Board shall determine that such park requirement, in whole or in part, cannot be properly located in any such plat or is otherwise not practical. In making such determinations, the Planning Board shall refer to the Master Plan, as well as to the terrain and the quality of alternate sites within the same local planning area.
(2) 
The Planning Board may require the subdivider to grade such park site in a manner appropriate for its projected use and compatible with its surroundings.
(3) 
Where such park site incorporates a unique natural feature or a landmark, the subdivider shall be responsible for the protection of such feature or landmark from any destructive action during the course of the plat development.
(4) 
In cases where the Planning Board determines that a park site cannot be properly located within the plat, in whole or in part, the subdivider (major subdivisions) shall be required to pay a park fee to the Village equal in amount to the fair market value at the time of the subdivision procedure of the land area of the subdivision that would otherwise be required for a park site. All such payments shall be held by the Village in a special Park Site Acquisition and Improvement Trust Fund, to be used exclusively either for the acquisition of sites that are properly located for neighborhood park, playground or recreational purposes or for the physical improvement of such sites. In the case of a minor subdivision, the requirement of a park site or park fee is waived without prejudicing the intent of these provisions which may otherwise require such agreements as covenants, easements or dedications in fee simple in order to expressly protect unique natural features or landmarks. The amount of the park fee, computed as above set forth, shall be determined by the Board of Trustees.
C. 
The arrangement of streets, building lots and other land uses shall be of such character that they can be used safely without danger to health or peril from fire, flood, unstable soil conditions or other menace.
D. 
Subdivision designs shall indicate consideration for suitable separation and protection of different types of land uses, including highways.
E. 
In carrying out the subdivision policy outlined in § 162-9B, a subdivider of a nonresidential parcel shall be required to place in reserve and offer for dedication such natural features of the site that may be required by the Planning Board, or the Board may require such other restrictions which will support the subdivision policy, and shall require the payment of a park fee in an amount to be fixed by the Board of Trustees.
A. 
Streets and highways shall be of sufficient width and suitable grade and shall be suitably located to accommodate the prospective traffic, to facilitate fire protection and to comprise a convenient system. Streets and highways shall be properly related to the Master Plan.
B. 
Local streets shall be laid out so that their use for through traffic will be discouraged. Particular attention should be given to eliminating possible bypasses around traffic signals and major intersections.
C. 
Collector streets shall be provided to give easy access to and between local streets.
D. 
Culs-de-sac.
(1) 
The use of cul-de-sac streets in a subdivision layout shall be minimized unless they are found to be well conceived.
(2) 
Minimum radius for the right-of-way at the turnaround and the curb radius shall be determined by the Planning Board. The Planning Board may require the central area of the cul-de-sac to be planted or to retain natural plant material when it is found to be acceptable by the Board.
E. 
Intersections.
(1) 
No more than two streets shall intersect or meet at any one point.
(2) 
Streets shall intersect one another at an angle of 90°, where practicable.
(3) 
Intersections shall generally be spaced at least 150 feet apart, measured from the points of intersection of the center lines, unless the Planning Board finds that adequate site distance and shoulder width is available for safe turning movements and that such spacing cannot reasonably be achieved by redesign of the subdivision.[1]
[Amended 10-15-1999 by L.L. No. 2-1999]
[1]
Editor's Note: Former Subsection E(4), regarding spacing of intersections designated by the Planning Board, which immediately followed this subsection, was repealed 10-15-1999 by L.L. No. 2-1999. This local law also redesignated former Subsection E(5) as E(4).
(4) 
Adequate sight distance shall be required at all intersections.
F. 
Horizontal alignment.
(1) 
The recommended minimum center-line radius for a street curve shall be 200 feet on a local street and 400 feet on a collector street.
(2) 
A tangent distance of at least 50 feet shall be provided between reverse curves.
(3) 
Minimum radius at a corner shall be 25 feet at the property line, except that a larger radius shall be provided at major intersections.
G. 
Vertical alignment.
(1) 
All street gradients shall conform as much as possible to the natural terrain, minimizing excessive cuts and fills.
(2) 
Minimum road gradients shall be 0.50%.
(3) 
Maximum road gradients shall be 6%.
(4) 
Gradients approaching intersections shall not exceed 2.50%, commencing at a point at least 50 feet from the nearest intersecting right-of-way line measured along the center line of the road. Intersections of roads and curbs having minimum gradients shall be detailed sufficiently to ensure proper surface drainage.
(5) 
Gutter line gradients of culs-de-sac shall be a minimum of 0.50%.
(6) 
The formula L = KA shall be used in the design of street profiles, where: L, the length in feet of a vertical curve, shall be related to the algebraic difference, A, in percent of grade and a constant, K, equaling 28 for minor streets and 50 for collector streets. This formula shall be used for both sag and crest vertical curves.
(7) 
Where there are changes in grade of 1.0% or more, they shall be connected by a vertical curve.
H. 
Width, pavement, curb and sidewalk requirements. The following table prescribes the minimum street right-of-way widths, street improvements widths and whether curbs and sidewalks are required for subdivisions located in various zoning districts of Chapter 196, Zoning.[2]
[2]
Editor's Note: The Table of Street Dimensions, Curb and Sidewalk Requirements is included at the end of this chapter.
I. 
Street improvements shall be laid out in accordance with the standards set forth in the Highway Department standards and shall be constructed in accordance with specifications established by the Village.
A. 
The drainage design for all subdivisions shall conform to criteria as required by the Village Engineer.
B. 
All stormwaters shall be recharged into the subsurface groundwater reservoir, and no system will be allowed which directly discharges such waters into any surface water area or into a fresh or salt marsh.
C. 
Natural drainage or alternate systems may be considered by the Planning Board, provided that they are engineering feasible and ecologically sound and recommended by the Village Engineer.
A. 
All building lots shall at least comply with the requirements of Chapter 196, Zoning.
B. 
Where a subdivision abuts a highway or in the case of certain collector streets designated by the Planning Board, the streets and lots shall be laid out so that there is no direct access from the lots to such highway or collector street. The lots shall either back on such highway or collector street, front on an interior street or front on a marginal road.
(1) 
In the case of reversed lots, a limited-access easement across the rear of the lot shall prohibit ingress to or egress from the lot to the highway or collector street, and the subdivider shall provide fencing and/or screen plantings as required by the Planning Board where acceptable natural woodland cover does not exist.
(2) 
In the case of a marginal road, the subdivider shall construct said road.
C. 
Block dimensions.
(1) 
Maximum length shall be 1,600 feet. Minimum length shall be 400 feet.
(2) 
Width shall relate to the zoning district requirements and shall provide for two tiers of lots, if practicable.
D. 
Special attention shall be given to corner lots to ensure sufficient size for front yards on each street, one rear yard and one side yard, and leaving adequate building area for an average house.
A. 
Subdivision design shall preserve and protect, insofar as possible, natural terrain features, such as salt and fresh marshes, beaches, dunelands, unique vegetation and animal habitat, floodplains, watercourses, primary sources of groundwater and natural drainage patterns in accordance with the Master Plan, Chapter 196, Zoning, and other applicable laws of the Village of Quogue.
B. 
All surface waters in the Village of Quogue are deemed to be important for the physical and mental well-being of its residents and resort visitors and for the perpetuation of desirable animal and plant species and therefore shall be protected from siltation caused by construction or regrading of perimeter properties, from the influence of induced nutrification caused by the fertilization of such perimeter properties and from any other form of probable degradation which might be caused by adjacent land development and use. For the purpose of such protection, the Planning Board may require, as part of its approval of subdivision maps, the dedication of perimeter park land or easements or covenants to accomplish such protection. Park land buffer areas or easements shall be dedicated essentially in a natural condition, leaving the area with sufficient ground cover to prevent the lateral movement of silts and fertilizers. For this purpose, 50 feet shall be the minimum width considered for such natural area buffers as measured from the edge of mean water level of freshwaters and the edge of mean high tide along an estuary, except that, in the case of tidal wetlands and flood-prone areas, more stringent requirements may be deemed necessary in order to protect the public safety or quality of ecological systems.
C. 
The natural vegetation and soils of a subdivision site shall not be disturbed prior to final plat approval by the Planning Board, except for such minimal disturbance as will be needed and approved by said Board relative to survey boundary work, excavation of approved test holes and other acceptable minor site preparation needed for engineering and planning evaluation.
D. 
The Planning Board may require such erosion and sedimentation control methods as are needed to protect terrain features, including such methods which are noted in the Erosion and Sediment Control Technical Handbook prepared by Suffolk County Soil and Water Conservation District.
E. 
No topsoil shall be removed from a subdivision except that the Planning Board may, upon written application, permit the removal of topsoil taken from the beds of streets.
[Amended 10-15-1999 by L.L. No. 2-1999]
Local electric power, telephone and cable television lines shall be placed underground. Utility companies shall place special emphasis on preserving the vitality and appearance of trees. If streetlights are required and/or provided pursuant to § 162-39C incident to subdivision approval, streetlights having a design and location approved by the Planning Board shall be installed by the subdivider.
A. 
In cases where bulkheading is deemed necessary by the Planning Board and the Village Engineer and the Town Trustees to protect the coastal areas from erosion caused by storm and tidal action, it shall be placed in such fashion as not to destroy or alter significant ecological values of the natural marine edge which are considered to extend up to and above the mean high water level and to include all tidal wetlands.
B. 
Man-made waterways, such as canals, marinas and similar constructions, which break the fresh groundwater-saline water interface shall not be permitted.

Editor's Note: See also Ch. 77, Bulkheads and Docks.
A. 
Street trees shall be provided in all subdivisions unless adequate trees, acceptable to the Board and which exist in their proper locations, are left in place and are in a healthy condition.
B. 
Trees shall be of nursery stock of an approved species grown under the same climatic conditions as at the location of the development. They shall be of symmetrical growth, free of insect pests and disease, suitable for street use and durable under the maintenance contemplated.
C. 
The average trunk diameter at a height of six feet above the finished ground level shall be a minimum of two to three inches, depending on good practice, with reference to the particular species to be planted.
D. 
Trees shall be planted at intervals of from 40 feet to 60 feet apart, depending on the species and location of lot lines, along both sides of the street and shall be located within the right-of-way where their spacing from the property line shall be determined by the Planning Board.
