(a) No dedication of a street shall be accepted, nor shall the subdivision of any land be approved until the improvements set forth in this section have been completed, or provisions satisfactory to three-fourths of the members elected to Council have been made, guaranteeing the satisfactory completion of such improvements in conformity with these Subdivision Regulations, for all streets and roadways in such subdivision.
(b) All proposed streets shall be constructed in conformity with the requirements of Chapter 1022 of these Codified Ordinances and of any ordinance in effect on the date of approval of the preliminary plat which amends or supersedes Chapter 1022. Where a street is extended to the boundary line of a subdivision with a reasonable expectation that the street may be further extended in the future development of adjacent land, provisions shall be made to facilitate the future extension of water mains and sewer systems.
(c) Water mains, meeting the approval of the Village Engineer and of the City of Cleveland, Department of Public Utilities, shall be installed. The term "water mains", as used in this section, includes fire hydrants, valves and other necessary appurtenances. If, in the opinion of Council, it is not possible to install water mains as specified above, then such subdivision or plat thereof may be approved without such improvement by the affirmative vote of three-fourths of all members elected to Council, provided that a suitable surety bond or other security acceptable to Council and approved by the Solicitor, equal to 110 percent of the cost of such improvement, as estimated by the Village Engineer, shall be deposited with the Clerk to assure completion of the improvement within the time fixed by Council. Such bond or security shall indemnify the Village from any liability arising by reason of the unimproved condition of the street, or which may arise or grow out of the installation of such improvement.
(Ord. 1965-17. Passed 7-20-65.)
(d) Sanitary facilities shall be installed as follows:
(1) The subdivision shall be provided with a complete sewer system, connected to a sewer main in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA), the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) and the Village. No storm flow or seepage water shall be discharged into any sanitary sewer system.
(2) Isolated property, where a public sewer main is not readily accessible, shall be provided with drainage systems as may be required to provide a suitable point of discharge for a private sewage system. Suitability shall be established by the Cuyahoga County Board of Health in accordance with its regulations in effect at the time of preliminary plat approval.
(Ord. 1994-31. Passed 1-17-95.)
(e) Permanent monuments, as described below, shall be accurately set and established at such points as will enable any skilled surveyor correctly to lay out any lot in the subdivision. Locations of such monuments shall include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, the intersection of the boundary lines of the subdivision with all street lines, at least two diagonally opposite corners of each street intersection, the intersections of all outside boundary lines of the plat and the beginning and end of all curves. In addition, iron pins shall be set at all lot corners. Monuments shall be constructed in accordance with acceptable standards. The points at which such monuments may be found shall be designated on the plat.
(f) Materials used for construction of any improvement shall be tested in accordance with the standards used by the Village for general improvements undertaken by it. Any costs incurred for such testing shall be borne by the owner or developer.
(g) Any detail of construction which is not specifically governed by an ordinance of the Village shall be in accordance with the specifications normally used by the Village in its own improvements, and shall be subject to approval by the Village Engineer.
(h) Complete plans and specifications for each improvement shall be submitted, at least thirty days before commencement of construction of such improvement, to the Clerk for approval of the Village Engineer. All improvements shall be constructed and installed in conformity with the plans and specifications approved by the Village Engineer and no modifications shall be allowed except upon his or her written approval. All improvements shall be constructed under the supervision of the Village Engineer or of an inspector duly appointed by the Mayor.
