[Adopted 9-18-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-14]
A. 
Every person or party proposing to construct a road or street shall submit a written letter of application for approval of the same to the Town. No separate application shall be required if the road or street is proposed as part of a proposed plat or certified survey map, but the roads and streets in plats or certified survey maps shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 440, Land Division and Subdivision, of the Code of the Town of Pacific and this article.
B. 
The application shall be accompanied by a scale map prepared by a surveyor which shows the location and design of the proposed road or street. The application shall also specify the proposed name of the road or street, the parties responsible for construction of the road or street, and the anticipated schedule of construction of the road.
C. 
This article repeals and replaces any previously adopted Town ordinance as to those matters that are provided for in this article.
Before any proposed road or street is approved, the applicant shall enter into a development agreement with the Town wherein the applicant agrees to construct the road or street within 18 months from the date that the application is approved. All required improvements in the plat shall be completed prior to occupancy of any structure served by the road. The Town Board may allow phased construction of streets or roads.
The Town Board shall review the proposed street or road, the design plans, the proposed security for the improvements, and the development agreement. The Town may require the applicant to provide additional information necessary, in the judgment of the Town, to properly review the application. The Town Board may approve, reject or modify the application, and shall give the applicant due notice of its action.
At the time the development agreement is executed, the builder shall file a certificate of deposit, establish a project escrow account, or provide a certified check, in such form as is acceptable to the Board and approved by the Town Attorney, with the Town in an amount equal to 125% of the estimated cost of the required improvements as determined by the Town Engineer. Such deposit shall guarantee that such improvements will be completed according to Town specifications by the builder or its contractors not later than 18 months from the date that the application is approved or, where staging is permitted, that each stage will be completed by the date specified in the installation and completion schedule. Such security shall be held by the Town and either released or used in the manner specified in this article. The provision of security by the applicant shall not release the applicant from its obligations under the development agreement nor prejudice the right of the Town to recover the full cost of completion of the improvements if the applicant fails to complete the same.
The applicant may elect, with the approval of the Town Board, to install the improvements in phases, provided that:
A. 
The phases are specified in the development agreement for the road or street.
B. 
The applicant shall record deed restrictions reviewed by the Town (or its designated representative) which specify that the lots included in future construction phases shall not be conveyed, transferred or sold unless the Town's approval is obtained.
C. 
Erosion control plans and measures submitted and approved shall address the erosion problems posed by the construction of the project in phases.
All or any part of a street, an arterial street, drainage way or other public way which has been approved by the Town shall be dedicated to the public by the applicant in the locations and dimensions indicated on the plan or map approved by the Town. The Town hereby finds that dedication of the land underlying streets or roads is a reasonable and necessary condition for the Town's agreement, by accepting said road or street to maintain the same for the welfare of the public.
A. 
Width. All roads in the Town of Pacific shall be at least 66 feet in width of right-of-way. Any road which was originally constructed with less than 66 feet of right-of-way shall be widened to 66 feet during any complete reconstruction of the road.
B. 
Warranty. Every developer shall, as a condition of the Town's acceptance of a road, warrant the road to be in suitable condition, good repair and free of defects, excluding ordinary wear, for a period of two years from the date it is accepted for dedication. The security provided by the developer pursuant to § 345-44 of this article shall remain in effect until the expiration of the warranty period, at which time the Town Board would authorize the release of the project security.
A. 
The arrangement, character, features and layout of land divisions in the Town of Pacific shall be designed to comply with the standards of this chapter, the Comprehensive Plan, the Official Map, and/or any comprehensive utility plans or other planning documents which may pertain to the standards of design for land divisions and which have been adopted by the Town Board. Where no such planning documents have been adopted, subdivisions shall be designed according to engineering and planning standards approved by the Town Engineer and applied so as to properly relate the proposed development with adjacent development, the topography, natural features, public safety and convenience, and the most advantageous development of undeveloped adjacent lands. In the absence of a street being shown on the Official Map, streets shall be provided in locations determined necessary by the Town Engineer and to the appropriate widths based on the requirements of the type of roadway.
B. 
The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade and location of all streets shall conform to Town master plans, the Official Map, and to this article, and other Town planning documents and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned streets, reasonable circulation of traffic, topographical conditions, runoff of stormwater, public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the proposed uses of the land to be served by such streets.
C. 
The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions shall make provision for the appropriate continuation at the same or greater width of the existing streets in adjoining areas.
The street layout shall conform to the arrangement, width and location indicated on any official map, land use plan or component neighborhood development plan of the Town. In areas for which plans have not been completed, the street layout shall recognize the functional classification of the various types of streets and shall be developed and located in proper relation to existing and proposed streets, to the topography, to such natural features as streams and tree growth, to public convenience and safety, to the proposed use of the land to be served by such streets, and to the most advantageous development of adjoining areas.
A. 
Arterial streets shall be arranged so as to provide ready access to centers of employment, centers of governmental activity, community shopping areas, community recreation and points beyond the boundaries of the community.
