The subdivider shall design and construct pavements, curbs and gutters of sizes and types not less than set forth in Table 2, for all streets. The construction and materials shall be as specified by the State of Ohio Department of Highways Construction and Material Specifications or as specified by the Village Engineer.
(A) Pavements. Higher standards and/or greater widths than indicated herein may be required by the Village Engineer or Planning Commission to adequately provide for unusual soil conditions or extraordinary traffic volumes or loads. After the underground utilities and house connections are installed and rough grading completed, the roadway subgrades shall be shaped, rolled, and compacted. The subdivider may construct a temporary roadway of slag or stone for use during the building construction period. Such pavements shall be maintained in a safe and passable condition by the subdivider without expense to the village.
(B) Curbs and gutters. Concrete curbs and gutters shall be provided where indicated on the required improvement schedule.
(C) Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be provided as specified in the required improvement schedule. Sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete six inches thick. The construction and materials shall be as specified in the State of Ohio Department of Highways Construction and Material Specifications or as specified by the Village Engineer.
(D) Street name signs. The subdivider shall install a street sign showing the names of all streets at all street intersections. The signs shall conform to the specifications of the Village Engineer and be mounted at a height of approximately seven feet above the top of the curb or the crown of the pavement. The sign shall be located as directed by the Village Engineer.
(E) Street name lights and underground utility lines. In all new allotments or reallotment, all utility lines including those for street lightings should be installed underground and all street light poles should be of the approved metal type. All owners or petitioners for subdivision of land shall grant easements for such lines and areas as are needed by the utilities for installation, maintenance and replacement of their lines and needed equipment including street lighting. Street lights shall be installed by the utility company when ordered by the Village Engineer; however, in all new allotments, street lights shall be installed prior to completion of the development and release of the developer's bond. The subdivider shall arrange for the installation of street lights in the subdivision.

Also the subdivider shall install them in an approved plan. Such plans and installations shall be done with the approval and cooperation of the Planning Commission.
(c) It is advised that a tree with an ultimate height of less than 20 feet be used.
(d) No tree should be planted which is less than one inches-two inches in diameter measured one foot above ground level. Lowest branches should not be less than four feet nor higher than six feet above the ground. Trees shall be balled and burlapped in condition according to American Nurseryman Standards. Trees normally should not be planted closer than 40 feet to each other. No tree should be planted closer than 25 feet to the squared sidewalk corner of a street intersection, preferably this distance will be closer to 35 feet. (See Appendix I).
(e) Best results will be obtained if planting is done during the months of April, May, October or November. Where condition or type of soil is unfavorable to plant growth, a volume of not less than one cubic yard of good top soil should be placed around the roots.
(f) Trees should be mulched and artificially watered to stimulate good root, stem and leaf growth.
(3) Tree and tree planting specifications.
(a) Trees shall be 1¾" - 2" in trunk diameter, measured six inches above the ground level, B&B in condition. Height of tree shall be 10'-12' with lowest branches between 4' and 6' straight trunked and grown as a street tree in the nursery row. Size, balling, branching and quality of tree shall be according to U.S.A. standard for NURSERY STOCK (USA SZ 60.1-1969).
(b) Tree pits should be dug with sides approximately vertical to a depth of 22 inches and a diameter of 36 inches. When rock, hardpan, stumps and roots, and any undesirable material is encountered, the pit shall be dug a minimum nine inches greater than the approximate required depth. All undesirable material shall be removed and replaced with topsoil.
(c) Plant the tree at the same level or slightly higher than it had been at the nursery. Back fill used around tree in planting process shall be of a good quality top soil free of stones, roots, weeds and other undesirable material. Peat moss may be mixed with top soil back fill. Under no circumstances shall dry peat moss be used in the mixing process. A saucer shall be left around tree and tree watered (See Tree pit staking detail). Trunk shall be wrapped to prevent sun-scald.
(d) Mulching shall be of well rotted manure or wood chips within the saucer area. When wood chips are used, a commercial fertilizer shall be used prior to placement of chips.
(G) Planting screens or fences.
