§ 174-33. Approval for dedication.

A. 

General. Improvements offered for dedication to the Town of Canandaigua shall be complete with final inspections and approvals from the Town Highway and Water Superintendent and, where appropriate, the Town of Farmington Sewer and Water Superintendent, Code Enforcement Officer, a representative from the Planning Board, Town Engineer and others as may be appropriate.

B. 

The Town Board Attorney shall also review and accept legal documentation related to the dedication.

C. 

Improvements completed. Before dedication, subject improvements and the following shall have been certified as completed.

(1) 

Monuments shall have been set in their required locations as required by the Site Design and Development Criteria and certified to the Town.

Editor's Note: The Site Design and Development Criteria are available in the Town offices or through the Town's online version of the Code (eCode360®).

(2) 

Final grading shall be completed within the right-of-way and all spoil removed from the site.

(3) 

All street and traffic signs shall be properly set in their designated locations.

D. 

Special procedure for road dedication.

(1) 

Upon completion of the binder pavement and all other items related to the construction of a road and before installation of the top pavement course, the Town may elect to accept dedication of said road if the developer files with the Town surety sufficient to complete the top pavement course, as well as a two-year maintenance bond for the road in an amount deemed sufficient by the Town Highway Superintendent.

(2) 

This is intended to allow the developer to complete related construction on adjacent lots prior to installing the top pavement course thereby reducing marring or patching of the top pavement course resulting from normal construction activity.

(3) 

Before the expiration of the maintenance bond and before the final top is applied, the Town or its representative and the developer will hold a final site review to assess any damages or repairs that may be necessary by the developer under the maintenance agreement. Once the top course has been installed, final acceptance of all roadway improvements shall be obtained from the Town Board.

E. 

Record plans. Record plans and all testing results shall be supplied to the Town at least 15 days prior to dedication.

(1) 

Record maps shall be prepared by the applicant's engineer. Eight prints and a reproducible original (Mylar) shall be submitted to the Town Development Office.

Maintenance bonds shall be written by a surety provider licensed to do business in New York State, and they shall be in the amount of 10% of the actual construction costs incurred.

(2) 

Individual portions of the project, i.e., sanitary system, water system, can be bonded with their individual acceptances by the Town.

(3) 

A maintenance bond will not be accepted until the entire project is ready for dedication.

(4) 

Maintenance bonds for landscaping shall be held for a period of one year following installation to assure correction of any work that may be found to be defective.

(5) 

The maintenance bond for all other improvements to be dedicated to the Town shall be held for a period of two years following dedication of the improvements to assure correction of any work that may be found to be defective.

(6)
