(1) 
Construction set forth hereunder shall be performed under the supervision and inspection of the Township Engineer.

Minor modifications or changes in the approved plans and specifications may be effected only upon written approval of the Township Engineer. In the event that a change is not considered minor, then further review and approval of the Planning Board prior to making said change will be necessary.
(3) 
Lands which the approving authority finds to be in areas identified as having severe or moderate soil characteristics, particularly as the lands relate to flooding, improper drainage, wetlands, adverse soil conditions, adverse topography, utility easements or other features which can reasonably be expected to be harmful to the health, safety and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the development and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be approved unless adequate and acceptable methods are formulated by the developer to solve the problems by methods meeting Part 3 of this chapter and all other regulations.
B. 
The subdivision plat shall conform to design standards that will encourage good development patterns within the Township of Brick. The streets, drainage rights-of-way, school sites, public parks and playgrounds, as shown on the Master Plan or Official Map, shall be considered in approval of subdivision plats.

H. 
Subdivisions that adjoin or include existing streets that do not conform to widths as shown on the Master Plan or Official Map or the street width requirements of Part 3 of this chapter shall dedicate additional width along either one or both sides of said road. If the subdivision is along one side only, 1/2 of the required extra width shall be dedicated. In the case of such 1/2 street, the subdivider shall be required to improve, in accordance with § 245-339, the 1/2 street, including 10 feet on either side of the center line of the street.

The first or base course shall be a bituminous stabilized base course (sand-gravel mix) having a minimum compacted thickness of two inches. The second or finish course shall be bituminous surface course, hot mix FABC, SM or SP top courses having a minimum compacted thickness of 1 1/2 inches. If the top course is not immediately applied, a tack coat of asphaltic oil Type RC70 shall be applied at the rate of 0.15 gallon per square yard immediately before installation of the top course.
(2) 
All streets must be curbed and guttered on both sides where the grade is 4% or greater.

Where required by the Township Engineer, a system of porous concrete pipe subsurface drains shall be constructed beneath the surface of the road and connected to a suitable drain. After this subbase material has been properly placed and compacted, the street surfacing material as described heretofore shall be spread thereon.
(6) 
All streets shall be provided with inlet and/or catch basins and pipes where the same may be necessary for proper surface discharge. When determined to be appropriate by the Township Engineer, the use of natural vegetated swales in lieu of inlets and pipes should be encouraged.

A. 
Purpose. The purpose of the Brick Town Center Streetscape Ordinance is to encourage development and redevelopment of commercial and residential properties within the Brick Town Center to reflect smart growth principles, including pedestrian and vehicular connectivity, internal circulation, sidewalk construction, creation of public spaces, such as courtyards, and common landscaped areas and beautification through landscaping and consistent design throughout the center. This section will encourage redevelopment of commercial uses that enhance neighborhoods and generate pedestrian activity; such as cafes, restaurants, bookstores, floral shops, retail shopping, commercial recreation and entertainment spaces, personal and convenience service stores, bakeries, travel agencies, child-care facilities, art galleries, and offices.
