Standards & Specifications for the Design & Construction of Public Improvements

Printer-friendly version

The Engineering Standards, Construction Specifications and Design Standards regulate both public improvements and private work which will either be dedicated to or accepted by the Town. In addition, all work within the public right-of-way is governed by these regulations. They are intended to provide for coordinated modern development with adequate facilities to serve and protect the users.

They are meant to apply to new developments which are not constrained by already existing improvements. However, since infill development in an urban area is often constrained when matching existing improvements, to the extent deemed possible by the Town Engineer, infill developments shall match these Engineering Standards. The Town Engineer may allow modification of these standards when necessary to allow private and public construction which is compatible with surrounding in-place improvements.

These standards may also be used in conjunction with the Town's zoning regulations and subdivision ordinances for site development work on private property.

The design standards, included in Chapter VII, must be used on all public improvement projects and private work which will either be dedicated to or accepted by the Town.
