(A) Conformance to applicable rules and regulations. In addition to the requirements established herein, all subdivision plats shall comply with the following laws, rules, and regulations:
(1) All applicable statutory provisions;
(2) All other applicable laws of the appropriate jurisdictions;
(3) The Official Master Plan, Official Map, Public Utilities Plan, and Capital Improvements Program of the local government, including all streets, drainage systems, and parks shown on the Official Map or Master Plan as adopted;
(4) The special requirements of these regulations and any rules of the Health Department and/or appropriate state agencies;
(5) The rules of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, if the subdivision or any lot contained therein abuts a state highway or connecting street;
(6) The rules of the appropriate local jurisdiction if the subdivision or any lot contained therein abuts a street maintained by the jurisdiction;
(7) The standards and regulations adopted by the County Engineer and all boards, commissions, agencies, and officials of Newberry County; and
(8) Plat approval may be withheld if a subdivision is not in conformity with the above guides or policy and purposes of these regulations established in § 154.001.
(B) Self-imposed restrictions. If the owner places restrictions on any of the land contained in the subdivision greater than those required by these regulations, the restrictions or reference thereto may be required to be indicated on the subdivision plat, or the Planning Commission may require that restrictive covenants be recorded with the County Clerk of Court in a form to be approved by the Newberry County Attorney.
(C) Plats straddling municipal boundaries. Whenever access to the subdivision is required across land in another local government, the Planning Commission may request assurance from the County Attorney that access is legally established, and from the County Engineer that the access road is adequately improved, or that a performance bond has been duly executed and is sufficient in amount to assure the construction of the access road. In general, lot lines should be laid out so as not to cross municipal or county boundary lines.
(D) Monuments. A steel or iron pipe or reinforcing rod not less than 1/2 inch in diameter and 30 inches in length, or a cement bench mark or other bench mark approved by the State of South Carolina, be set at each change in direction of the boundary survey of the subdivision, excluding water courses, and at all lot corners. A monument shall also be set at a point of curve, point of intersection, property corner, point of tangency and reference point. All markers shall be driven to within 12 inches of the finished grade or flush as conditions may require.
(E) Subdivision name. The proposed name of the subdivision shall not duplicate, or too closely approximate phonetically, the name of any other subdivision in the area covered by these regulations. The Planning Commission shall have final authority to designate the name of the subdivision which shall be determined at sketch plat approval.
(F) Natural gas. When gas lines are located in a street right-of-way, where possible, such lines shall be located outside the portion of the street to be surfaced to prevent having to cut into the paved surface to serve abutting properties.
(G) Street name signs. Street name signs shall be installed at all intersections within a subdivision. The location and design shall be approved by the Planning Commission and shall meet all county specifications.
(H) Sediment control. The Newberry County Engineer shall review subdivision proposals to ensure conformance with the Sediment Control Ordinance for Newberry County, South Carolina. Also refer to § 154.041(C).
