§ A361-22. Improvements.

A. 

The developer shall complete the installation of all utilities and street improvements specified in § 33 of the General City Law not specifically waived by the Board, in accordance with specifications as issued by the Bureau of Engineering, and with any additional requirements specified by the Board or by the City Engineer. Construction drawings shall be submitted in a form satisfactory to the City Engineer.

B. 

In the case of any area to be dedicated to public use, the following shall be performed by the subdivider:

(1) 

The entire area shall be cleared and grubbed of stones, brush and trees with a diameter of less than six inches, unless otherwise directed by the City Engineer.

(2) 

The area to be used as a playground, if any, shall be graded to a gentle slope, uninterrupted by rock outcroppings, covered with topsoil and seeded.

(3) 

Drains shall be installed, as required.

(4) 

Sudden drops or steep change in grade shall be minimized, or protected by fences, retaining walls or other means, as directed by the City Engineer in consultation with other City officials having jurisdiction.

[Amended 12-10-1996 by Ord. No. 260-1996]

C. 

When the Board or the City Engineer, due to planning considerations extraneous to the subdivision, requires a standard of improvements higher than that which is sufficient to serve the subdivision, the amount of the bond to be posted shall be deemed to be satisfactory if it adequately covers the cost of improvements which would be normally required.
