Editor's Note: Appendix C is included as an attachment to this chapter.
Any permit issued pursuant hereto shall contain the following conditions unless specifically exempted by the Town Board. No condition shall be exempted without the specific reason(s) therefor being placed on the record.
Use of designated roads by developer.
Use of designated roads by developer. In connection with the development, construction, operation and maintenance of the project, the Town hereby acknowledges and agrees that developer, its contractors and subcontractors and each of their respective agents, officers, employees, representatives and permitted assigns (collectively, the "developer parties") may use the roads and highways located in the Town identified in Appendix C (the "designated roads") generally between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday each week ("period of use"). The designated roads may be used by developer and the developer parties in connection with the development, construction, operation and maintenance of the project and including the transportation of heavy equipment and materials to and from the project. The parties understand that deviations from the project schedule may cause monetary and other harm to developer. Accordingly, the Town agrees to use best efforts to accommodate the use of the designated roads by developer and the developer parties outside the period of use, when requested, during the period of construction. In addition to identifying the designated roads that will be used by developer, Appendix C identifies the routes over the designated roads that will be used for i) transportation and delivery of materials and equipment to be used in connection with the project, and ii) truck transportation leaving the project site following delivery of equipment and materials. The developer and the developer parties may use any other Town roads (roads not included as designated roads) in connection with the development, construction, operation and maintenance of the project; provided, however, that any such use of such roads shall not be for purposes set forth in items i) and ii) above without the prior consent of the Town Superintendent of Highways, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.
Construction period meetings. Beginning with the commencement of the construction of the project, the developer and the Town Superintendent of Highways, also referred to as Town designee, shall meet on a weekly basis to discuss the expected use of the designated roads in the next succeeding week, including the construction schedule and the haul routes to be used. The developer designee and the Town Superintendent of Highways shall each have the authority to act on behalf of its respective employer, including the right to allow use of the designated roads outside the period of use. Within 10 days after the issuance of the permit, the developer shall provide the name and contact information for its designee.
In the event developer determines it is necessary for the project to use any portions of any roads located in the Town other than the designated roads, or uses of the designated roads other than as described in Subsection A(1), the developer shall seek approval of the Town Superintendent of Highways, describing in detail such use and the reasons thereof. Such Town Superintendent of Highways will take into account weather conditions, conditions of the road and any other significant factors in making his or her determination of whether to grant permission for the use of the Town road under this Subsection A(3), which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Once construction begins on the project, the Town Superintendent of Highways shall be entitled, at any time, to notify developer and the developer parties that the use of the designated roads may result in excessive damage to the designated roads due to weather conditions. The developer and/or the developer parties shall work with such Town Superintendent of Highways to develop a plan to mitigate or prevent the effect of such damage. If the parties are able to develop a plan to mitigate or prevent such damage, then developer and the developer parties may continue to use such roads, provided that such mitigation is implemented. If the parties are unable to develop such a plan, the developer and the developer parties may propose an alternate route to the project site for approval by the Town Superintendent of Highways, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Survey of designated roads. As soon as practicable after the issuance of the permit, but in any event prior to the commencement of use of designated roads, the Town Superintendent of Highways shall select a third party to survey the designated roads to document the condition of such roads prior to their use ("initial survey"). The initial survey may include photographs or videotape of the designated roads, which photographs or video shall be accompanied by a written summary of findings regarding the condition of the designated roads. Such initial survey and any subsequent surveys or road reports shall be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Town Superintendent of Highways. Copies of the initial survey shall be provided to the Town Superintendent of Highways and the developer designee. The costs of the initial survey, including any required copies, will be borne by developer. Following the initial survey, the Town shall request the third-party surveyor to conduct an additional survey following completion of the project to determine the then current condition of the designated roads. Additional surveys shall only be conducted in the event the parties mutually agree and additional costs are borne by developer.
Restoration phase. Restoration scheduling will be consistent with the seasonal limitations identified by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and will be incorporated into the project's agricultural district notice of intent (if required), the stormwater pollution prevention plan (prepared under the Department of Environmental Conservation's general stormwater permit), and any other requirements contained in developer's SEQRA findings statements issued by any appropriate agency.
Trash removal; unnecessary materials and equipment. Throughout the term of this permit, the developer shall be responsible for keeping, at its cost, the designated roads clean and free from rubbish, dirt and debris resulting from the developer's use of the designated roads. Materials and equipment of the developer or the developer parties, if any, shall be removed from the designated roads when they are no longer necessary.
Reimbursement of certain costs. The developer shall reimburse the Town for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs, including attorney's fees, incurred by it in connection with the application, permit issuance process, permit administration and permit enforcement and all related documentation. The developer shall pay invoices presented by the Town within 30 days of receipt.
Obligation to repair Town roads. In the event that any of the designated roads or related appurtenances, including bridges, culverts and other road fixtures, modifications and improvements made pursuant to Subsection C(1) and described in Appendix A, or Town roads other than the designated roads are damaged as a result of the use by the developer or the developer parties, the developer agrees to repair (or cause to be repaired) such damage and to restore such road or related appurtenances to the condition they were in prior to the use (as near as is reasonably practicable having due regard for normal wear and tear) under this permit, except for repairs to modifications and improvements pursuant to Subsection C(1), which shall be repaired in accordance with the specification set forth on Appendix B. The parties shall rely upon the initial survey conducted pursuant to Subsection A(4) for purposes of determining whether the repair has been performed in accordance with the standard set forth in this Subsection B(1). Any repair and restoration shall be promptly performed at such times as the designees determine, having due regard for safety, the presence of emergency conditions and the costs of such repairs. Within five days following completion of such repair, the Town Superintendent of Highways and developer designee shall jointly inspect the repair to determine that it has been satisfactorily completed. Within 48 hours after the designee's inspection and determination of satisfactory completion, the Town Superintendent of Highways shall issue a written certification that the restoration obligations required in Subsection B(1) and (2) hereof have been satisfactorily completed as of the stated date of such certificate.
Editor's Note: Appendix B is included as an attachment to this chapter.
Repairs of designated roads and Town roads other than designated roads at the request of the Town Superintendent of Highways; failure to repair.
The Town Superintendent of Highways may request in writing that the developer repair damage shown to be caused by the developer and/or the developer parties to the designated roads and/or to Town roads other than the designated roads and related appurtenances in accordance with Subsection B(1) hereof. Prior to commencement of such repair, the Town Superintendent of Highways and the developer designee shall meet to review the damage in relation to the initial survey or most recent subsequent survey, as applicable. The developer shall repair (or cause to be repaired) such damage and restore the road to the standard set forth in Subsection B(1), unless the developer or the developer parties demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Town Superintendent of Highways that the damage was not caused by the developer or the developer parties. Any repair and restoration shall be promptly performed, having due regard for safety, the presence of emergency conditions and the cost of such repairs.
In the event that the developer fails to repair such roads and appurtenances within the agreed period, then, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, the Town may make such repairs or cause those repairs to be made and shall invoice the developer for the costs incurred by the Town in connection with the repair. The developer shall pay such invoiced amounts within 30 days following receipt of the invoice; provided, however, that if the developer disputes the invoice for said repairs, the Town Superintendent of Highways and the developer designee shall together make a determination, as applicable, of which repairs were reasonably necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare, and which costs of such repairs are reasonably attributable to damage caused to the Town roads by the developer, or the developer parties, and the developer will pay such costs as so determined by the Town Superintendent of Highways.
Term of obligation to repair. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligation of the developer and the developer parties to repair roads in accordance with Subsection B(1) and (2) shall terminate on the later to occur of the following: i) the date that is 60 days following the completion repairs pursuant to Subsection B(1) and (2) hereof, and ii) the date on which the warranty coverage described in Subsection D expires. The developer shall notify the Town in writing 60 days prior to the date on which completion of the project will occur.
Improvement and modifications to designated roads.
Improvements and modifications to designated roads.
Certain modifications and improvements to the designated roads and related appurtenant structures are necessary to accommodate the use of the designated roads by the developer and the developer parties, including the widening of certain roads and modifications and improvements necessary to accommodate the heavy equipment and materials to be transported on the designated roads. The modifications and improvements that shall be made by developer are described in detail in Appendix B hereto. The Town consents that such improvements and modifications shall be made in accordance with the specifications set forth in Appendix B. Upon the reasonable request of the developer, the Town Superintendent of Highways is authorized from time to time to grant consent to deviations from the specifications set forth in Appendix B, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Town.
Within five days following completion of any modifications or improvements, the Town Superintendent of Highways and the developer designee shall jointly inspect the work to determine that it has been satisfactorily completed. Within 48 hours after the inspection and determination of satisfactory completion, the Town Superintendent of Highways shall issue a written certification that the modification or improvement has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with specifications set forth on Appendix B attached hereto as of the stated date of such certificate.
List of materials and construction techniques. Ten days prior to the commencement of any modification or improvement pursuant to this Subsection C, the developer shall deliver to the Town Superintendent of Highways a list of all materials to be used and construction techniques to be employed in connection therewith, to the extent such modifications, improvements, materials and techniques are not already described in Appendix B, subject to the approval of the Town Superintendent of Highways.
Subsequent modifications or improvements. If modifications or improvements are necessary to the designated roads and related appurtenant structures that were not completed at the time the permit was executed, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith and mutually agree to such modification or improvement, together with the materials to be used, the construction techniques to be employed, and the specifications applicable to such work.
Compliance with law. The developer agrees that all modifications and improvements shall comply with all applicable laws, subject to the obligations of the Town set forth in Subsection C(5).
Permits. The developer shall obtain all government permits and approvals that are necessary to permit the developer to make the modifications and improvements to the designated roads contemplated herein, including obtaining all necessary private land rights that may be required in connection with the conditions hereof. The Town shall not be responsible for obtaining any such permits or approvals. In light of this permit, highway work permits from the Town shall not be required for such improvements as long as the parties comply with the terms of this permit.
The developer's engineering responsibility shall be carried out in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices, and the developer's construction responsibility shall be carried out in accordance with sound construction practices, subject to the provisions of Subsection C(2) (including the specifications contained in Appendix B). The developer shall require that its construction contractors and subcontractors follow the same standards of engineering and construction practice. The developer warrants that it shall perform and complete all repairs, modifications and improvements hereunder in a good and workmanlike manner.
The developer warrants that all repairs, modifications and improvements hereunder shall be free from defects in material and workmanship. The developer shall remedy any defects in the repairs, modifications and improvements performed hereunder, workmanship, materials and equipment, including repairs, modifications and improvements, workmanship, materials and equipment provided by subcontractors, in accordance with Subsection D(2) hereof, which appear during the "applicable warranty period." A "defect" means any and all design, engineering, or construction which 1) does not conform to the terms of this permit; 2) fails to comply with the standards set forth in Subsection D(1)(a) hereof; 3) is not of specified quality; 4) is of improper or inferior workmanship; or 5) is not suitable for use under applicable climate and range of operating conditions. If the Town Superintendent of Highways has already certified that modifications and/or repairs have been satisfactorily completed, as required under Subsection B(1) and C(1) hereof, the Town shall have the burden to demonstrate to an independent engineer, to be agreed upon by the parties, that a defect exists and that it could not have been detected at the time the Town made its certification under Subsection B(1) and C(1). As used herein, "applicable warranty period" shall mean a term of 18 months commencing upon project completion date.
A bond, letter of credit, or cash escrow will be required for each designated haul road in an amount to be determined subsequent to the designation of haul routes but prior to issuance of the permit. The bonded amounts shall be in accordance with the determination of the Superintendent of Highways. The final release of all bonds/letters of credit/cash escrow will be determined once all damage has been repaired to the satisfaction of the Town Highway Superintendent.
Remedies. During the applicable warranty period, the Town shall notify the developer in writing within 15 days of discovery by the Town that it believes there are defects, providing that any delay by the Town beyond such 15 days in notifying the developer shall relieve developer from liability only to the extent of any additional expense which may arise as a direct result of such delay. Only after it has been determined by an independent engineer that an undetectable defect has occurred, at no additional cost to the Town, the developer shall proceed promptly to take such action relating to its performance hereunder as is necessary to cause the repairs, modifications and improvements to comply with the warranties specified in this permit. The developer shall be available either at the project or by telephone for the performance of warranty repairs on a seven-day-a-week, twenty-four-hour-per-day basis. The developer shall not be obligated to remedy any materials, equipment, repairs, modifications or improvements which become defective as a result of improper operation or maintenance by the Town or which result from normal wear and tear or use by parties other than developer or the developer parties.
In the event that the developer and/or the developer parties do not proceed in a timely manner to take such action as is necessary to cause the repairs, modifications and improvements to comply with the warranties specified in this permit, the Town of Naples reserves the right to take any action it deems reasonable to cause the repairs, modifications or improvements to be completed. By the acceptance of this permit, the developer and/or the developer parties shall reimburse the Town for all reasonable costs associated with this action, including reasonable attorney's fees.
Liens. The developer warrants that all repairs, modifications, improvements and materials furnished in connection herewith by the developer and the developer parties pursuant to this permit and the conditions hereof shall be free and clear of all liens.
Use of designated roads after completion of construction. During the operation of the project, if the developer determines it is necessary to undertake any repairs or maintenance on any project component would require the use of roads as contemplated under Subsection A(1) Items i) and ii), hereof, the developer shall notify the Town Superintendent of Highways prior to its use of any of the designated roads for the transportation of equipment. The Town Superintendent of Highways will determine if a survey is required to survey the condition of any of the designated roads for purposes of being able to assess the condition of such roads before and after such use. Any such future use shall comply with the terms and conditions of this permit.
