Public utility improvements may be required
and shall be installed as follows:
A. Fire protection. Hydrants shall be of such size, type
and location as specified by the Insurance Services Organization and
approved by the Village of West Carthage Fire Department.
B. Streetlighting. Pole, brackets and lights shall be
of a size, type and location approved by the local power company.
C. Electricity. Power lines shall be placed underground
and shall be approved by the local power company.
D. Utility services shall be located from six feet to
eight feet from the front property line to the center line of the
utility service between the sidewalk and curbline.
Potable water for domestic, commercial and fire
protection use shall be provided.
A. All water mains and lines as shown on the preliminary
plan shall be installed from each lot to the municipal supply. Where
no municipal supply is available, it must be furnished by the subdivider
on a project or individual lot basis.
B. All piping required for transmission and distribution
must conform to current AWWA Standards and Specifications and must
conform to New York State Department of Health regulations.
C. All water mains shall be a minimum of eight inches
in diameter.
D. Curb stops shall be provided for each residence, and
each residence shall be metered at the developer's expense.
E. Except where noted above, all provisions from Recommended
Standards for Water Works, Part Eight, Distribution Systems, shall
prevail. (A copy may be purchased from the Village Clerk.)
Unique physical features, such as historic landmarks
and sites, rock outcrops, hilltop lookouts, desirable natural contours
and similar features, shall be preserved where possible. Also streams,
lakes, ponds and wetlands shall be left unaltered and protected by
easements. All surfaces must be graded and restored within six months
of completion of subdivision so that no unnatural mounds or depressions
are left. Original topsoil moved during construction shall be returned
and stabilized by approved methods. Damage to existing trees should
be avoided. Adequacy, type and arrangement of trees, shrubs and other
landscaping which constitutes a visual and/or noise-deterring buffer
between competing adjacent uses and adjoining lands may be required.
As a safety measure for the protection of the
health and welfare of the people of the Village, that portion of a
proposed lot which is found to be unsuitable for subdivision due to
harmful features (e.g., drainage problems) shall not be subdivided
until adequate methods are formulated by the subdivider and approved
by the Planning Board. Before final approval, the subdivider shall,
in lieu of the improvements, furnish a surety bond or certified check
covering the cost of the required improvements.
It is intended that surface drainage not be
allowed to drain onto adjacent properties. Surface drainage shall
be collected via catch basins and conveyed via underground storm sewers
to natural drainage areas such as wetlands, creeks or rivers. A drainage
plan shall require approval by the Planning Board.
