The applicant is hereby referred to the various standards that are specified in Chapter
560, Zoning, relative to design of the site improvements and amenities.
In addition to the standards referred to in §
345-61, the applicant shall meet the following standards relative to the design of the site improvements and amenities:
A. Parking and traffic. All parking and traffic design
for the site shall be in accordance with appropriate standards, including
but not limited to New Jersey Department of Transportation standards
and the New Jersey Residential Site Improvement Standards. In addition
all pavement markings and traffic control signage shall be in accordance
with the US Department of Transportation Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices.
B. Drainage.
[Amended 12-3-2019 by Ord. No. 1561]
(1) The applicant shall demonstrate that the stormwater runoff from the
site will not adversely impact an adjacent property. Detailed stormwater
runoff calculations shall be submitted with the application documenting
the evaluation. As a minimum the applicant shall evaluate the two-,
ten- and twenty-five-year design storm using either the rational method
of the USDA Soil Conservation Service (TR-55) method. Where feasible
the surface drainage from the site shall be directly connected to
the Borough's stormwater drainage systems.
(2) Natural channels shall not be modified, developed, dredged, cleared
of vegetation, deepened, widened, straightened or otherwise altered
without any applicable permits issued by the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection or any other state or federal entity with
jurisdiction. If approved the channel must be improved using natural
approaches and should avoid the use of concrete or other hard techniques.
Water should be retained or detained before it enters any natural
channel in order to preserve the natural hydrodynamics of the channel
and to prevent siltation or other forms of pollution.
C. Parking. Where on-site parking is provided, the applicant
shall provide buffering of said parking from adjacent properties and
where possible from the street by means of landscaping, fencing or
other acceptable means.
D. Lighting. All lighting for the site whether it be
for parking areas, pedestrian walks or security purposes shall be
designed so as to avoid off-site light pollution. The types of light
fixtures used shall be architecturally compatible with the site building
and adjacent buildings and shall be placed to maintain lighting intensities
suitable for the intended purpose.
E. Loading/unloading. Where necessary for the operation
of a business or other facility, off-street load and unload spaces
shall be required on the site. This space shall be at least 12 feet
wide and 55 feet long and shall have a paved surface approved by the
Borough Engineer. The space shall not be located in any front yard
area and shall be buffered from adjacent properties.
F. Interior circulation. The interior circulation of
traffic shall be designed to provide safe and efficient movement of
vehicles on the site. No driveway or street used for interior circulation
shall have traffic lanes less than 12 feet in width. Sufficient drive
aisle width behind parking spaces shall be provided but in no case
shall this width be less than 24 feet.
G. Parking and paved areas. All parking spaces with the
exception of handicapped spaces shall be 10 feet wide and 20 feet
long. Handicapped parking spaces shall be provided in the quantity,
location, size and grading as required by the Americans with Disabilities
Act. All spaces shall be clearly delineated by painted lines or markers
and shall be provided with wheel stops for the safety or protection
of adjacent structures, sidewalks or landscaped areas.
H. Outdoor storage. Outdoor storage of any type shall
not be permitted unless it is enclosed in an approved structure complying
with the applicable zoning requirements.
I. Sight triangles. A clear sight triangle shall be provided
at all street and driveway intersections. Nothing shall be erected,
placed or allowed to grow in a manner which obscures vision above
the height of 2 1/2 feet and below 10 feet, measured from the
center line grade of the intersecting street or driveway. At driveway
intersections with streets, a clear sign isosceles triangle shall
be established for a distance of 10 feet at each side of the point
of intersection with street right-of-way lines.
J. Driveways. All driveways shall be constructed so as
to be at an angle of between 75° and 105° with the intersecting
street. The driveway shall be paved to the edge of the existing street
paving and provided with adequate provisions for drainage.
