If, at any time before or during the construction
of the required improvements, it is demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the Planning Board that unforeseen conditions make it necessary
to modify the location or design of such improvements, the Board may
authorize such modifications upon written request to the subdivider,
provided that such modifications are within the spirit and intent
of the Board's approval and the purpose of these regulations. Copies
of the authorized modification shall be made part of the official
record of the Board.
A.
Routine inspections.
(1)
The construction of all required improvements
shall be inspected by the Village Engineer to ensure satisfactory
compliance with applicable regulations.
(2)
In no case shall any paving work be done without
permission from the Village Engineer. At least three days' notice
shall be given to the Village Engineer prior to such construction
so that the Village Engineer may be present at the time the work is
to be done.
(3)
The Village Engineer shall be notified after
each of the following phases of the work has been completed so that
he may inspect the work:
B.
Final inspections.
[Amended 12-21-1988]
(1)
A final inspection of all improvements and utilities
will be made to determine whether the work is satisfactory and in
substantial agreement with the approved final plat drawings. The general
condition of the site shall also be considered. Upon a satisfactory
final inspection report, action will be taken to release the performance
security covering such improvements and utilities.
(2)
If the Village Engineer shall find, upon inspection,
that any of the required improvements have not been constructed in
accordance with the plans and specifications filed by the subdivider,
the subdivider will be severally and jointly liable for the costs
of completing said improvements according to specifications. No plat
which may be an extension or section of a previously recorded plat
or no new plat, regardless of location, shall be approved by the Board
if the subdivider has not fully complied with the construction of
all the required improvements in a previously recorded plat submitted
by him for approval.
(3)
If the Village Engineer does not carry out an
inspection of required improvements during construction, the subdivider
shall not in any way be relieved of its responsibilities.
C.
Inspection fee. An inspection fee, as determined by
resolution of the Village Board of Trustees,[1] or performance as security shall be paid to the Village
of Harriman prior to the time that the Chairman of the Planning Board
signs the final plat to cover the costs of inspection. In the event
that the actual cost of inspection amounts to less than the amount
posted, the Village shall return the difference to the subdivider.
