NORTH SEA BEACH COLONY ASSOCIATION
NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS
The following requirements apply to all contractors
(including
sub-contractors and landscapers) operating within the
perimeters of the
North Sea Beach Colony Association (NSBC). The
requirements are in addition
to full compliance with all the regulations governing
contracting work
within the Township of Southampton.
It is the responsiblility of each homeowner (and/or
property manager) to
notify the contractor, and to enforce the requirements
listed below.
Copy of this notice should be provided to all contractors
(including
sub-contractors and landscapers) before any construction,
landscaping,
demolition and/or removal work is undertaken.
Weight Limits on NSBC Private Roads
All construction equipment circulating within the private
streets of NSBC
shall not exceed a Gross Weight of 25,000 pounds. This
applies to heavy-duty
trucks (including dump trucks, dumpsters, cement, and
flatbed trucks) and
any type of construction machinery with rubber tires. No
construction
machinery running on steel-tracks is allowed to circulate
within NSBC roads.
Road Damage
The NSBC road base and existing pavement surface were not
built to withstand
the circulation of heavy loads. The current pavement
structure (2 inches of
asphalt and 2-3 inches of sub-grade) is less than half the
thickness (and
less resistant to heavy loads) than which is normally
specified for public
roads; as a consequence extreme care should be taken when
circulating with
heavy loads.
Contracting property owners will be liable for any road
damage caused by the
circulation of heavy-duty construction vehicles within
NSBC roads.
Erosion Control
The contractor is responsible for controlling erosion from
the perimeters of
the construction area.
All dirt resulting from excavation, grading, soil movement
and driveway
construction shall not be allowed to spill into the NSBC
road system and/or
the beachfront, and shall be contained within the
perimeters of the site.
Any vehicle mud and dirt carryout, material spills, or
soil wash-out onto
streets and walkways shall be cleaned up immediately.
Any dirt and/or silt materials that wash-out into the dry
wells located at
the lowest points of the road system (Bay Street and/or
corner of East and
South Streets) will be removed at the contracting owner’s
expense by the
NSBC Association.
Construction Noise
The following limitations apply to the peak of the summer
season, which is
defined as from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.
This is the period
when almost all houses are either owner- or
renter-occupied.
No construction noise (including power equipment and/or
loud voices) will be
allowed before 8:00 AM on weekdays, and 10:00 AM on
Saturdays and Sundays,
or after 5:00 PM any day. Activities allowed to take place
outside these
time periods should be quiet and not produce any
disturbing noise to
adjacent properties.
For the rest of the year (from Labor Day weekend through
Memorial Day),
noise restriction applies to before 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM on
weekdays, and
before 8:00 AM and after 6:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
The property owner (and/or contracting person) is
responsible for the
enforcement of the noise restrictions. In the case where
the owner is absent
from the noise generating activity, any neighbor shall
step in to enforce
these requirements, and notify the owner of any violation
of these
guidelines.
General
It is advised that all owners or property managers verify
with the
chairperson of the road committee or the officers of the
NSBC Association
than any road damage has been repaired, and/or silt
deposits into the dry
wells are removed before making any final payments to any
contractor.
