[Adopted 8-18-2009 by L.L. No. 4-2009[1]]
[1]
Editor's Note: This local law repealed former Art. V, Street
Specifications, adopted 6-6-1972 (Ch. 39 of the 1968 Code) and also
provided that it shall not apply to roads to be constructed within
any subdivision which obtained preliminary approval of the Planning
Board prior to the date of adoption of this local law.
[Amended 6-21-2011 by L.L. No. 2-2011]
It is the purpose of these specifications to establish minimum
acceptable standards of street construction for subdivisions in the
Village of Monroe, Orange County, which requirements and standards
must be met and paid for by the person or firm proposing that the
Village take over such street as a Village road. These specifications
include but are not limited to width, design, drainage, construction
of base and pavement, curbs and monumentation. Dedication of the right-of-way
will not be accepted until the Engineer designated by the Village
Board as responsible for construction observation shall have certified
to the Village Board in writing that the construction of the street
has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications
that follow, and that the total right-of-way area has been cleared
of all debris and all construction completed in a workmanlike manner.
When new street rights-of-way are offered to the Village for dedication,
two copies of the final plan and deed description of the right-of-way
shall be submitted to the Village Department of Public Works Superintendent
for approval.
In his written certification, as required above, the Engineer
as designated by the Village Board responsible for construction observation
shall clearly state that he or his authorized representative has reviewed
all phases of the street construction and all work has been completed
in accordance with the approved plans and these specifications.
A.
Plans submitted shall not be altered or amended after having been
approved by the Village unless amended plans are resubmitted and approved.
The developer, at his own expense, shall provide additional storm
drainage facilities or utilities as may be ordered by the Village
if during the course of construction, in the opinion of the Village
Department of Public Works Superintendent, the Village Engineer, the
County Superintendent of Highways and/or New York State Department
of Transportation, such additional structures or facilities are necessary
to prevent any need for future installations of utilities or culverts
within the pavement area, to assure the durability of pavement, future
maintenance of right-of-way, or welfare and safety of the public,
except that the Village Board may vary the requirements of such an
order where there are practical difficulties in the way of carrying
out to the letter of such order; unless such variance conflicts with
the provisions of a Village or county official drainage map, in which
event, the official map shall prevail.
[Amended 6-21-2011 by L.L. No. 2-2011]
B.
If construction of said road has not been started within one year
and completed within three years from the date of final approval by
the Village Planning Board, plans shall be resubmitted and approved
as herein specified.
A.
A plan of the proposed street shall be prepared by a qualified professional
engineer licensed by the State of New York. The plan shall clearly
define the limits of the proposed right-of-way by metes and bounds
and shall include the location: widths, profiles and grades of the
proposed roadway, storm drainage including culverts and other drainage
structures and the location of all easements and utilities. The plans
shall also indicate the owner of the property and name of the developer,
if other than the owner. One copy each of the plans shall be submitted
to the Village Department of Public Works Superintendent and Village
Engineer at the time of application to make such road a Village road,
and to the County Superintendent of Highways or New York State Department
of Transportation when said proposed street drains toward, intersects
or may otherwise affect a county or state highway. It will then be
submitted to the Village Planning Board and Village Board for review
and approval under the applicable subdivision regulations of the Village.
Such roadway must not be subject to any right or easement to others
which will in any way interfere with its use as a road at all times.
Such roadway must be granted to the Village by a bargain or sale with
covenant deed, insured by a licensed New York State title insurance
company, containing the correct metes and bounds description as shown
on the approved map, which deed must be in such form as approved by
the Village Attorney and as may be required to entitle the same to
be recorded in the office of the County Clerk of Orange County. The
applicant shall pay all filing fees.
[Amended 6-21-2011 by L.L. No. 2-2011]
B.
At the option of the Village, permanent and temporary easements shall
be furnished in said deed granting to the Village the right to maintain
all outlets for surface water or natural stream drainage which will
run from such roadway over private property. A minimum of 20 feet
in width of easement shall be required for the maintenance of said
easements.
C.
The proposed roadway shall be constructed to conform to the minimum
requirements and standards set forth below. The minimum width to be
cleared shall include all trees, rock formations, buildings, walls,
and any such things that would endanger those using such roadway.
The cost of removal of such obstructions shall be borne by the person
or firm proposing such road.
D.
Sections 170 and 171 of the Highway Law must be fully complied with,
with a minimum of fifty-foot-wide right-of-way furnished.
A.
Performance bonds.
(1)
Prior to the start of construction of any street, the developer shall
deposit with the chief fiscal officer of the Village cash or a certified
check drawn upon a national or state bank payable at sight to the
Village Board. The minimum total amount of which shall be determined
by cost estimate prepared by the Village Engineer and Village Department
of Public Works Superintendent or the cost to construct the proposed
public improvements. Alternate forms of the bond will require Village
Board approval. Said bond is guaranteeing:
[Amended 6-21-2011 by L.L. No. 2-2011]
(a)
That within one year the developer will start and within three
years complete all the construction within the right-of-way including
roadway, shoulders, curbs, storm drainage, etc., all utilities including
hydrants and house connections for each lot in accordance with the
approved plans and these specifications, and that all claims for labor
and materials in connection with said construction have been paid
in full prior to offering said road for dedication to the Village.
(b)
That upon certification by the Village Department of Public
Works Superintendent and Village Engineer that the construction of
the street has been completed in accordance with the approved plans
and specifications, the developer will dedicate the completed street
to the Village for use as a public highway free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances. This guarantee of dedication shall apply to the
owner of the property as well as the developer where the two are not
the same entity.
(2)
No building permit or certificate of occupancy will be issued until
all of these requirements are met.
B.
Maintenance bonds.
(1)
Prior to acceptance by the Village of the dedication of a street or other public improvements as guaranteed by Subsection A(1)(b) under "Performance bonds" above, the developer shall deposit with the chief fiscal officer of the Village cash or certified check drawn upon a national or state bank, payable at sight to the Village Board, a maintenance bond guaranteeing that for a period of one year from the date of acceptance of the dedication of the street by the Village, the developer will maintain the street to the standard of construction set by these specifications, normal wear and tear excepted. This shall be interpreted to mean that the developer shall, at his own expense, repair and make good any defects or damage which may develop during this maintenance period as a result of faulty construction within the right-of-way or as a result of other construction by the developer outside the right-of-way. During the maintenance period, the Village shall be responsible for snow and ice control, street cleaning, cleaning of culverts and catch basins and other work of similar routine nature, provided such work has in no way been caused by the developer's operations.
(2)
The amount of the maintenance bond shall be at least equal to 10%
of the amount of the construction cost estimate, at the time of dedication.
(3)
Subsequent to the dedication of the street and after receipt of the
maintenance bond, the Village Board shall release the performance
bond.
Final plans shall be drawn to show and demonstrate that the
developer constructed each street in accordance with the approved
plans.
A.
Any proposed streets are to meet the specifications for Village streets,
whether private or to be dedicated to the Village of Monroe in the
