A.
The Plan Commission and/or governing body may require the owner to
construct a concrete sidewalk on both sides of all arterial and collector
streets and may require the construction of sidewalks on one or both
sides of all other streets. The Plan Commission and/or governing body
may also require the owner to construct a concrete sidewalk on one
side of all frontage streets and on both sides of all other through
and/or continuous streets within the subdivision. The Plan Commission
and/or governing body may also require the owner to construct concrete
sidewalks on one or both sides of all dead-end or cul-de-sac streets
which are in excess of 600 feet in length or which serve two-family
or multiple-family development. The construction of all sidewalks

In addition, wider than standard sidewalks may be required by the
Plan Commission and/or governing body in the vicinity of schools,
commercial areas, and other places of public assemblage, and the Plan
Commission and/or governing body may require the construction of sidewalks
in locations other than required under the preceding provisions of
this chapter if such walks are necessary in its opinion for safe and

When public sanitary sewerage facilities are available to the
division or development, the owner shall construct sanitary sewerage
facilities in such a manner as to make adequate sanitary sewerage
service available to each lot within the subdivision. In addition:
A.
The Plan Commission and/or governing body may require the installation
of sewer laterals to the street lot line.

and the Master Sanitary Sewer Plan of the municipality.
C.
The owner shall assume the cost of installing all sanitary sewers,
sewer laterals, and sewer appurtenances within the proposed division
or development, except for the added cost of installing sewers greater
than 10 inches in diameter which are necessary to serve tributary

D.
Reserve capacity for sewage treatment dedication fee. The owner of
all subdivisions, certified survey maps, and assessor's plats shall
pay to the municipality a fee of $1,000 for each residential, commercial
or industrial unit legally established by said division or development
as and for a reserve capacity assessment for the proportionate share
of the total cost of the sewer facilities' total reserve capacity
available for new uses. In the case of multifamily units the reserve
capacity assessment will be based at the rate of 75% of the unit assessment
established herein. The dedication fee for reserve capacity will increase
by 8% per year commencing on January 1, 1979, and yearly thereafter.
Said eight-percent yearly increase is to compensate the municipality
for additional costs of handling administrative expenses and interest.
Said increase of 8% will not be compounded but is to be recalculated
every year on the original assessment. The reserve capacity dedication
fee established herein shall be paid before final approval of the
plat. Said reserve capacity assessment, when paid, shall be placed
by the Municipal Treasurer in a nonlapsing account to be applied against
the expenses of the municipality for the reserve capacity created.
The owner shall construct stormwater drainage facilities adequate
to serve the division or development, which may include curbs and
gutters, catch basins and inlets, storm sewers, road ditches, open
channels, water retention structures and settling basins. All such

the maximum potential volumes of flow and shall be so designed as
to prevent and control soil erosion and sedimentation and to present
no hazards to life or property. In addition:
A.
Drainage facilities shall, if required, include water retention structures
and settling basins so as to prevent erosion and sedimentation where
such facilities discharge into streams or lakes. The design criteria,
the size, type, grades and installation of all stormwater drains and
sewers and other cross-section, invert and erosion control paving
check dams, flumes or other energy-dissipating structures and seeding
and/or sodding of open channels and unpaved road ditches proposed

specifications approved by the Municipal Engineer and the Master Stormwater
Drainage Plan of the municipality. The design storm intervals shall
be as set by separate resolution of the Town Board.

or when it is proposed to establish a private water supply and distribution
system to serve two or more lots, the owner shall cause such water
supply and distribution facilities to be installed in such a manner
as to make adequate water service available to each lot. The owner
shall make provision for adequate private water systems as required

power, cable television, and telephone facilities to be installed
in such a manner as to make adequate service available to each lot.
No such electrical, cable television, or telephone service shall be
located on overhead poles unless approved by the Plan Commission and
governing body. In addition, plans indicating the proposed location
of all gas, electrical power and telephone distribution and transmission
lines required to service the plat shall be approved by the Municipal
Engineer.
The Plan Commission and/or governing body shall require the
owner to pay for the installation of streetlamps, if they are required,
along all streets proposed to be dedicated of a design compatible
with the neighborhood and type of development proposed. Such lamps
shall be placed at each street intersection and at such interior block
spacing as may be required by the Plan Commission and/or governing
body.
[Amended 3-13-2006 by Ord. No. 06-2]
The owner shall pay the cost of the acquisition and installation
of street signs of a design as approved by the governing body and/or
its designee at the intersections of all streets proposed to be dedicated
and other necessary locations.
In all urban subdivisions, the owner shall plant at least one
tree of an approved species each 60 feet of frontage on all streets
proposed to be dedicated. The tree shall be at least six feet in height
and 1 1/2 inches in diameter at breast height (dbh). Tree planting
shall be completed in accordance with plans and specifications approved
by and at such time as directed by the Board. The placement and selection
of street trees, however, should not hamper or interfere with solar
access to natural light and air for nearby lots. Such tree planting
may be deferred until after construction of the building on each parcel
or lot.
The owner shall plant those grasses, trees, and vines, a species
and size specified by the Plan Commission or governing body, necessary
to prevent soil erosion and sedimentation. In addition:
A.
The Plan Commission or governing body may require the owner to provide
or install certain protection and rehabilitation measures, such as

Tree cutting and shrubbery clearing shall not exceed 30% of the lot
or tract and shall be conducted as to prevent erosion and sedimentation,
preserve and improve scenic qualities, and, during foliation, substantially
screen any development from stream or lake users.
C.
Paths and trails in wooded and wetland areas shall not exceed 10
feet in width unless otherwise approved by the Plan Commission or
governing body and shall be so designed and constructed as to result
in the least removal and disruption of trees and shrubs and the minimum
impairment of natural beauty.
D.
Earthmoving, such as grading, topsoil removal, mineral extraction, stream course changing, road cutting, waterway construction or enlargement, removal of stream or lake bed materials, excavation, channel clearing, ditching, drain tile laying, dredging, and lagooning, shall be so conducted as to prevent erosion and sedimentation and to least disturb the natural fauna, flora, watercourse, water regimen, and topography (see §§ 375-72 and 375-73 of this chapter). No topsoil may be removed from the site without permission of the Plan Commission.
E.
Review of the conduct of such cutting, clearing, and moving may be
requested of the County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors,
the State District Fish and Game Managers, and the State District
Forester by the Municipal Engineer or Plan Commission or governing
body as it deems appropriate.
