To aid in avoiding unnecessary expense and delay, it is urged that the surveyor and the engineer furnish a tentative plat and development plan to the Village Engineer for review and approval prior to the preparation of final development plans and plat. As a further aid in the case of large tracts which are to be developed in two or more increments, the Village Engineer will review and give tentative approval of proposed plat and proposed development plans of the whoel of such tracts, whereupon the developer may proceed with final plats, plans and development of the increments one at a time. Tentative plats and tentative development plans will be reviewed for option holders, prospec- tive buyers, etc., as well as for owners. (2) Review of Plat and Development Plan. The plat and one white print of the development plan shall be submitted to the Village Engineer who shall review them for conformity with these regulations. He shall furnish the developer's engineer with a written approval of the development plan if it is found to comply with these regulations, otherwise he shall furnish a written statement of its deficiencies. He shall furnish the developer's surveyor with a written tentative approval of the plat if it is found to comply, otherwise he shall furnish a written statement of its deficiencies. • Page 29 • • • • (3) Construction of the Work. After the development plan has been approved, the developer shall proceed according to one of the following methods: (a) The work shall thereupon be constructed under the supervision of the developer's engineer, or (b) The developer shall furnish a surety company bond as hereinafter prescribed in Section 11 (1), guaranteeing the completion of the work within 18 months, or (c) The developer shall enter into engineering and construction contracts for completion of the work within a realistic time limit specified by the Village Council, but not exceeding 18 months, and place funds in escrow to finance said contracts, all as hereinafter prescribed in Section 11 (2). (4) Filing the Plat. (a) Should the developer wish to construct the work without a bond or escrow agreement, in accordance with paragraph (3) (a) above, his engineer shall, upon completion of the work, furnish the Village Engineer with a written certificate of such completion, accompanied by certain records and plans as hereinafter prescribed, whereupon the.

(5) Alternate Types of Pavement and Subqrade. Alternate types of pavements and subgrades which, in the opinion of the VillageEngineer, are equal or superior to those specified in paragraphs (4) and (5) above, may be approved. Applications for such approval shall be accompanied by written data, calculations and analyses which show by accepted engineering principles that the alternate types are equal or superior to the specified types. (a) Where a previously built pavement on primary roads and streets is being improved under the provisions of this sub -paragraph, the thickness of previously laid asphalt tops of all kinds shall be counted as part of the thickness of the base, except that the thickness of previously laid hot mix asphaltic concrete tops in condition substantially as good as new may be counted as part of the thickness of the new asphaltic concrete surface course. Deficiency in base thickness may be made up by a corresponding increase in thickness of the new asphaltic concrete surface course. A prime coat shall not be required where the top of the base consists of previously laid asphalt. The prime coat, otherwise required, shall consist of cutback asphalt or tar uniformly applied over the completed and dried base, at the rate of 0.15 gallon per square yard, covered with clean local sand, allowed to cure under traffic, then swept clean. (The rate of prime coat application shall be 0.25 gallon per square yard if the base consists of approved local shell.) The tack coatkshall consist of cutback asphalt, asphaltic cement of - emulsified asphalt uniformly applied over the cured and swept primed base at the rate of 0.1 gallon per square yard. The 1 1/2" asphaltic concrete surface course shall be Asphaltic Concrete Surface Course, Type II, meeting State Road Department Specifications amended to provide that its thickness shall be determined from the lengths of cores bored or punched from the pavement at • Page regular intervals of not more than 200 feet at various points on the cross section, and that the asphaltic concrete surface course on a given road or street shall be acceptable provided all cores measure at least 1 1/4 inches in length, and provided the average of all core lengths is at least 1 1/2 inches, allowing only 1 3/4 inches for cores over 1 3/4 inches long. (b) Where a previously built pavement on secondary roads and streets is being improved under the provisions of this sub -paragraph, the thickness of previously ].aid asphalt tops of all kinds shall be counted as part of the thickness of the base, except that the thickness of previously laid hot mix asphaltic concrete tops in conditions substantially as good as new may be counted as part of the thickness of the new asphaltic concrete surface course. Deficiency in base thickness may be made up by a correspond- ing increase in thickness of the new asphaltic concrete surface course. A prime coat shall not be required where the top of the base consists of pre- viously laid asphalt. The prime coat, otherwise required, shall consist of cutback asphalt or tar uniformly applied over the completed and dried base, at the rate of 0.15 gallon per square yard, covered with clean local sand, allowed to cure under traffic, then swept clean. (The rate of prime coat application shall be 0.25 gallon per square yard if the base consists of approved local shell.) The track coat shall consist of cutback asphalt, asphaltic cement or emulsified asphalt uniformly applied over the cured and swept primed base at the rate of 0.1 gallong per square yard. The 1" asphaltic concrete surface course shall be Asphaltic Concrete Surface Course, Type II, meeting State Road Department specifications amended to provide that its thickness shall be determined from the lengths of cores bored or punched from the pavement at regular intervals of not more than 200 felt at various points on the cross section, and that the asphaltic concrete surface course on a given road or street shall be acceptable provided all cores measure at least 3/4 inches, in length, and provided the average of all core lengths is at least 1 inch, allowing only 1 1/4 inches for cores over 1 1/4 inches long.

Intersecting pavement edges shall be joined by circular returns of such radii as to meet the current design standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials. Flush curb shall be installed around al]. radii at intersections. Flush curb shall be considered as part of, and included with, required pavement width. (7) Alleys. Alleys behind other than residences shall be paved 12 feet wide to the same specifications as primary roads and streets, except subgrade stabilization shall not be required. (8) Publicly Owned Parking Area. Publicly owned parking areas, except road shoulders and parking lanes along streets, shall be paved to such dimensions as properly fit the publicly owned area to be used for parking, and in all other Page f3 respects they shall comply with the requirements for paving secondary roads and streets. They shall have slopes not flatter than 0.003 foot per foot in the direction of flow. (9) Drainage. A complete system shall be provided for draining the roads, streets, alleys and other publicly owned areas in the subdivision, and for handling drainage runoff that comes into or across the subdivision from the outside. The system shall be designed by accepted engineering principles for rainstorms of the maximum intensity predicted for the Palm Beach County area at 3 year intervals according to current State Road Department charts and data. The hydraulic gradient may be assumed at the bottom of the inlet grate. The water in the swale may flow to the edge of the pavement. The runoff coefficients used shall be those which will be applicable to the areas involved in the calcu- lations after complete development has occurred. The drainage systems shall be designed for long life, low maintenance cost, and ease of maintenance by normal maintenance methods. The following specific criteria and requirements shall apply. (a) Roadside Ditches and Swales. Swales and small ditches within the rights -of -way, and swales and small ditches of similar size and capacity elsewhere, shall have slopes not flatter than 0.001 foot per foot in the direction of flow. Ditch payment or other adequate permanent protection against scour shall be provided where necessary. Runoff may be accumulated and carried in the swales or ditches in the right-of-way along primary roads and streets up to but not above the point where flooding of the pavement or flooding of roadside property occurs; and runoff may be accumulated and carried in the swale in the right-of-way along each side of a secondary road or street until the quantity is such as to result in a wetted area of 3.75 square feet or until the quantity is such as to result in flooding of roadside property after ultimate completion of the road or street, whichever quantity is the least. Water in excess of these quantities shall not be carried in the roadside swales or ditches in the rights -of -way, but shall instead be diverted therefrom and carried away in storm sewers, or in cattail ditches or by other approved means separate from the roads or streets. All swales shall be solid sodded with St. Augustine bitter blue grass sod. No planting other than grass inside right-of-way except by Village. (b) Open Channels. Outfall ditches and other open channels shall be designed so they will not overflow their banks; and if practicable they shall be designed for flow velocities that will not cause scour. Where higher velocities must be used, ditch pavement or other adequate permanent protection against scour shall be provided. (c) Inverted Siphons. Inverted siphons, if used, shall be designed for a low velocity sufficient to scour sand up and out of their down- stream ends, and they shall not cause ponding in the roadside swales or ditches which will produce wetted areas or conditions in excess of those allowed in paragraph (10) (a) above. Page • • • • (d) Bridges. Bridges shall be designed in general accord with current State Road Department practices. They shall be of reinforced concrete, or reinforced concrete and structural steel, with R-15-44 loading, and clear road- way width between curbs and shall be at least as wide as the paving approaching it.

The design of headwalls, inlets, endwalls, catch basins, manholes, ditch paving, box culverts, and minor drainage an related structures in general, shall broadly follow current State Road Depart- ment practices. (f) Bulkheads. Bulkheads along navigable waterways shall have a minimum top elevation of 4.5 feet and shall be of reinforced concrete design. The design shall conform to good engineering practice and shall meet the approval of the Village Engineer. The minimum concrete cover over reinforcing steel shall be 2 inches. Walls used merely as a line of demarkation of the shore line, need not comply with the above, except that they shall meet the approval of the Village Engineer. (10) Miscellaneous Roadway Structures. Curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and all other construction in the rights -of -way and easements pertaining to roads, streets, alleys and publicly owned areas, including the drainage thereof, shall be designed in accordance with accepted engineering principles. Flush curbs shall be of concrete, 12 inches wide and 10 inches thick. Raised curbs, if provided, shall be of concrete, approximately 7z inches wide, approximately 17 inches high, and standing approximately 6 inches above the gutter. Sidewalks shall be 4 inches thick, with outside edge along the right-of-way line. They shall be 5 feet wide. (11) Proper Use of Easements. Utilities shall not be placed on drainage easements or rights -of -way, and visa versa. (12) Street Markers. Concrete street markers of standard design shall be provided at all intersections.

If the bond is not thus furnished, the acceptance of the plat shall automatically be voided, and the plat shall not be filed. Extensions of the bond may be granted at the discretion of the Board. (2) Escrow Agreement. After the development plan has been approved the developer shall enter into a written contract with a registered engineer to perform all required engineering services in connection with the construction, completion and acceptance of the work, and bonded written contract with a qualified contractor for the construction of the work within a time limit specified by the Council, both in full accordance with the approved development plan and these regulations. The construction contract time limit shall be realistic with respect to the work to be done, but shall not exceed 18 months. Both contracts shall be satisfactory to the Council, shall be substantially definite in the amount rather than on a cost-plus or other indeterminate basis, and shall be made with the developer and the Village, both jointly and separately, but shall expressly relieve the Village from paying for any of the services of work except with funds supplied by the developer. The Contractor's Surety Bond shall be satisfactory to the Council, shall be in the full amount of his contract, shall bind the surety to the developer and the Council, both jointly and separately, to complete the work in full accordance with the contract in case the contractor defaults. An executed copy of the complete engineer- ing contracts, and an executed copy of the complete construction contract including Page 90 • • 1 • • bond, shall be filed with the Village Engineer. The developer shall deposit in escrow, in a depository satisfactory to the Council, an amount equal to the sum of the engineering and the construction contracts, plus an additional amount for contingencies which shall be 10 per cent of the sum of the engineering and con— struction contracts; the condition of the escrow agreement being that the deposited fund shall be released to the developer's engineer and contractor only upon written approval of the Council, which, during the course of construction, shall approve the release of portions of the fund not more often than twice each month, to the developer's engineer and contractor, on the recommendation of the Village Engineer, in the amounts due each for work done to date, based on the per cent completion of the work multiplied by the respective contract price less 10 per cent; and further, that upon completion of the work the Council shall approve releases to the Developer's engineer and contractor, on the recommendation of the Village Engineer, of amounts sufficient to pay them in full, and shall then approve the release of any remainder to the developer. In case there shall be a deficiency of funds on completion of the work, the Council shall on the recommendation of the Village Engineer, authorize the release of the entire remaining fund to the developer's engineer and the contractor in such amounts that each shall have been paid the same per cent of the total due him, in which event the developer but not the Council shall owe the developer's engineer and contractor the remaining unpaid balances. (3) The above bondrequirements and escrow agreements may be waived by the Village Council where it is determined by the Council that the financial resources are satisfactory and acceptable.
