A proposed development or subdivision, or land which requires
extensive or substantial filling to qualify for development or subdivision,
shall proceed in the following manner:
A.
Extensive or substantial filling shall be considered as fill in excess
of three feet in depth required over the general area, or a substantial
portion of the land, in the development or subdivision, especially
in the areas of proposed dwellings and sewage disposal leach fields,
if such fields are planned.
B.
The master plan shall be submitted as required, and Planning Board
action taken on this plan in the prescribed manner.
C.
A preliminary plan shall be submitted to the permitting authority
for preliminary approval of the layout only. With this plat, there
shall be submitted a contour plan of the entire property showing all
existing contours at not greater than one foot apart.
D.
Such drawings shall be submitted in duplicate. From the drawings
submitted, the permitting authority will determine the grade elevations
to which the land must be raised by means of fill, and will so mark
one set of the drawings for return to the developer.
E.
If preliminary approval of the layout is granted, the required fill
shall be placed and properly compacted. The permitting authority will
require the lapse of at least one year after all fill has been completed
satisfactorily before further processing of the proposed development
or subdivision.
F.
All fill used shall consist of clean material, and any used at a
level 30 inches below final finished grade shall be particularly of
a pervious nature, and subject to inspection and approval by Administrative
Officer.
G.
After fill has been placed and the required time period has elapsed,
a revised preliminary plan and contour plan drawing shall be made,
at which time the percolation and groundwater level tests, if required,
shall be made. These tests shall be made after all fill is completed
and at the expiration of the time noted above.
H.
Processing of the preliminary and final plans from this point shall
proceed as set forth in these regulations.
Land which is required for streets, sewer installations, storm
drainage installations, public recreation areas, conservation areas
or any other public purpose within a proposed development or subdivision
shall be conveyed to the Town of Barrington by deed or other acceptable
instrument as a condition of approval by the permitting authority.
The approval of the final plat/approved land development project plan/approved
development review plan by the permitting authority shall be deemed
the acceptance by the Town of Barrington of all such lands, but shall
not impose any requirement upon the Town of Barrington to maintain
or improve such dedicated areas or improvements until such maintenance
or improvement shall have been authorized by the Town Council in accordance
with state law and local ordinance.
A.
The Planning Board may provide for the review of preliminary and
final plans, and the construction of major land developments and subdivisions,
in phases. This shall also include the establishment of a timetable,
rate or phasing requirements for the construction of inclusionary
dwelling units for affordable housing production. When development
phasing under these regulations occurs, the following is required:
(1)
Approval of the entire site design first as a master plan; thereafter
the development plans may be submitted for preliminary and/or final
review and approval by phase(s).
(2)
General standards and regulations for determining physical limits
of phases, completion schedules and guaranties, for allowing progression
to additional phases, for allowing two or more phases to proceed in
review or construction simultaneously, for interim public improvements
or construction conditions and for changes to master or preliminary
plans.
(3)
Other provisions as necessitated by local conditions.
B.
The master plan documents may contain information on the physical
limits of the phases, the schedule and sequence of public improvement
installation, improvement guaranties and the work and completion schedules
for approvals and construction of the phases.
C.
The master plan shall remain vested as long as it can be proved,
to the satisfaction of the Planning Board, that work is proceeding
on either the approval stages or on the construction of the development
as shown on the approved master plan. Vesting shall extend to all
information shown on the approved master plan documents.
When required in an application subject to these regulations,
during the course of review of an application, or as a condition of
approval, a traffic impact assessment report shall include existing
traffic conditions in the vicinity of the proposed development, the
volume and effect of projected traffic generated by the development
and measures to mitigate adverse impacts on traffic conditions and
pedestrian access and safety. The report shall be in accordance with
the following format and scope:
A.
B.
Projected traffic.
(1)
Area traffic growth: increase in traffic volumes resulting from
other development, based on an average increase of the existing volumes
for every year up to the selected design year.
(a)
Morning and afternoon peak flows and travel directions.
C.
Traffic analysis.
