Provisions shall be made for the proper installation
of improvements in connection with the subdivision or site plan development
according to the following:
A. Sidewalks. Sidewalks or additional walkways may be
required in residential, business or industrial areas and shall be
determined on an individual basis by the Planning Board, and shall
in all cases be sufficient in width to accommodate pedestrian traffic
and shall be constructed in accordance with the construction standards
and specifications set forth herein.
B. Streetlighting. Streetlights shall be installed in
accordance with standards and specifications of the Atlantic Electric
Company.
C. Drainage. Drainage shall be provided so that surface
water will not flow either over private property, unless the course
of the natural drainage by existing ditch is indicated, or over said
street so as to erode the same. The method of disposal of surface
waters must be satisfactory in the opinion of the Borough Engineer.
In the case of a major subdivision, the drainage plan for the entire
subdivision, including the street or streets, must be submitted with
the tentative plans at the time of the request for tentative approval
of the Planning Board. There must be sufficient drainage to intercept
any water seepage so as to overcome unfavorable subgrade underground
service connections and are to be completed before the paving of any
pavement construction material. All driveways from house to street
shall be constructed in such a manner as not to interfere with the
flow of water in the road or drainage ditches along the public road.
D. Paving of all streets, construction of all curbs and gutters shall be in accordance with §
167-39.
The following off-street improvements shall be constructed or an adequate performance guaranty posted assuring their construction according to design standards contained in Article
VII of this chapter or in Chapter
167, Zoning, prior to the granting of final approval of any major subdivision or site development plan. Any such requirements made in connection with minor subdivisions shall be treated as a condition of final approval with an adequate performance guaranty therefore having been posted.
A. Off-street parking and loading. All required off-street parking and loading areas shall be surfaced with a compacted base course of material, thickness and grade specified in §
167-36. In the case of parking bays only, an approved type of porous paving of a type acceptable to the Municipal Engineer may be substituted as the surface course in order to avoid unnecessary surface runoff.
B. Open space and recreation improvements. Any open space
or recreation improvements required in connection with planned development
applications that are proposed for dedication to the municipality
or that could become the maintenance responsibility of the municipality
shall be constructed or installed according to construction and equipment
standards promulgated by the municipality. Such standards shall be
developed by the Longport Planning Board. All open space and recreation
improvements shall be subject to the posting of adequate performance
guaranties prior to final approval.
C. Topsoil protection. Where found necessary by the Planning Board, required seeding, sodding, water retention structures, riprapping or other measures necessary to carry out a soil erosion and sedimentation control plan approved by the Soil Conservation District shall be made subject to the provisions of adequate performance and maintenance guaranties as specified in Article
VI of this chapter.
D. Monuments. Survey monuments of a size and shape specified
by N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.2 et seq. shall be installed in accordance with the provisions of
that statute.
All improvements (except electric, gas and telephone
lines) shall be installed under the supervision and inspection of
the Borough Engineer, the cost thereof to be borne by the developer.
Said reasonable cost of inspection shall be estimated in advance by
the Borough Engineer, and such amount, in the form of cash or certified
check, shall be deposited with the Municipal Clerk before commencement
of any construction. The Municipal Clerk shall establish an escrow
account to pay for Borough engineering inspection fees. The reasonable
cost for inspection shall be paid to the Engineer as work progresses.
If said deposit shall be insufficient, any additional reasonable inspection
cost shall be paid by the developer before the improvement is accepted
by the Borough. Any balance from the deposit after inspection costs
have been deducted therefrom shall be refunded to the developer by
resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Borough of Longport.
