(a) All subdividers and developers, when submitting a preliminary plat to the Planning Commission, for any residential, commercial or industrial subdivision or development, shall include a metes and bounds description for all easements for water and sewer lines traversing or bounded by all lots, acreage or roadways within such subdivision or development. Such description shall provide for at least a thirty foot easement. All original easements shall be properly executed by the owner of the subdivision or development recorded and delivered to the Clerk-Treasurer within sixty days of final approval by Council of the subdivision or development.
(b) Each developer or subdivider shall submit a map along with a metes and bounds description, such map designating the location of all water/sewer lines, distances between manholes, the measurement and location of each lateral located in the plat and the curb box or service connection of the proposed water line.
(c) As a condition to approval by Council of any subdivision or development, a developer or subdivider shall, if the Village Administrator requests, provide access through the subdivison or development water and sewer lines for an extension of such lines beyond the subdivision to adjacent lands. To facilitate this access, the developer or subdivider shall, upon the Village Administrators' request, provide a written, fully executed easement for area over and across a lot or portion of the proposed subdivision or development providing such potential access to adjacent lands, per subsection (a) hereof.
(d) The subdivider or developer shall provide the Village with a one year warranty on all water and sewer lines and other components necessary to provide water and sewer service to the subdivision from the time of installation. During this one year warranty period, the subdivider or developer shall assume all maintenance and repair costs incurred or which are necessary. At or before the expiration of this one year period, the water and sewer lines and components shall be inspected by a designated representative of the Water and Sewer Department. Should the inspection reveal the need for any repairs or maintenance for such lines and components, the subdivider or developer shall make all such necessary repairs. In the alternative the Village may make all necessary repairs and changes and charge the costs to the subdivider or developer.
(e) The subdivider or developer shall assume all costs and expenses related to the construction and installation of the water and sewer lines and components in each place or subdivision for which the subdivider seeks approval. The subdivider or developer shall hold the Village harmless for all such costs and expenses. The Village Council has the right to refuse final approval of the plat without written documentation that all construction costs have been paid or secured to be paid.
(f) (1) The subdivider or developer must submit, as a part of the preliminary plat, detailed written plans and maps specifically designating the proposed subdivision or development which plans are sufficiently detailed to allow the Water and Sewer Department to make a determination whether the water and sewer lines and components proposed are able to provide adequate service to the residents or occupants of the development or subdivision. A representative of the Water and Sewer Department shall provide a written recommendation to approve or deny the proposed plan. If the plan is not approved, the Water and Sewer Department shall state in writing the specific requirements yet to be met before approval granted. The recommendation must be submitted to the Planning Commission between the submission of the preliminary plat and the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission.
(2) After approval of the preliminary plan, the subdivider or developer must, if he or she proposes any changes in the approved water and sewer lines and components, obtain additional written approval from the Water and Sewer Department prior to the commencement of construction. If further easements are necessary for the changes, compliance with subsection (a) is also required.
(g) Actual construction of the water and sewer lines and components must comply with the approved maps.
(h) Subdividers shall assume the cost of having the water and sewer line inspected by the Village at any or all stages of the installation.
