(A) Water supply system and sewage disposal system required. Every lot within a subdivision shall be served by a water supply system and sewage disposal system that is adequate to accommodate the reasonable needs of the proposed use and comply with all applicable health regulations. The applicant must provide evidence that water supply system and sewage disposal system plans have received final approvals by the appropriate agency prior to final plat approval. For subdivisions in which the water supply system and/or sewage disposal system to be installed is an individual system for each lot, the installation of said systems will not be required prior to final plat approval.
(B) Stormwater drainage system. The subdivider shall provide a surface water drainage system constructed to the standards of the State Department of Transportation, as reflected in Handbook for the Design of Highway Surface Drainage Structures, subject to review by the town’s consulting engineer.
(1) No surface water shall be channeled or directed into a sanitary sewer.
(2) Where feasible, the subdivider shall connect to an existing storm drainage system.
(3) Where an existing storm drainage system cannot feasibly be extended to the subdivision, a surface drainage system shall be designed to protect the proposed development from water damage.
(4) Anyone constructing a dam or impoundment within the subdivision must comply with the State Dam Safety Law of 1967 and the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15, Subchapter 2K.
(5) In all areas of special flood hazards, all subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage.
(C) Street lights. All subdivisions in which the size of the smallest lot is less than 20,000 square feet shall have street lights installed throughout the subdivision in accordance with the standards of the town and Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation. If underground wiring of street lighting is requested by the developer or the town, the developer may be required to install all fixed items such as conduit, pads, hand-holes and pole foundations; the Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation will own and maintain the fixed items.
(D) Underground wiring. All subdivisions in which the smallest lot is less than 20,000 square feet shall have underground wiring (includes telephone/communication). Such underground wiring shall be installed in accordance with the standards of the electrical utility provider. The subdivider shall be required to pay the charges for installation of the underground service.
