The subdivider shall observe the following requirements
and principles of land subdivision in the design of each subdivision
or portion thereof. All materials and construction practices for construction
of streets, curbs, sidewalks, storm sewers, as well as the type and
quantity of topsoil and other concrete work, shall be accomplished
in accordance with the New Jersey State Highway Department Standard
Specification for Road and Bridge Construction, 1983, and as amended,
which shall hereafter be referred to as “Standard Specifications.”
The subdivision plat shall conform to design
standards that will encourage good development patterns within the
municipality. Where either or both an Official Map or Master Plan
has or have been adopted, the subdivision shall conform to the proposals
and conditions shown thereon. It is the intention of these regulations
that proper performance of the work is the sole responsibility of
the subdivider. The streets, drainage rights-of-way, school sites,
public parks and playgrounds shown on an officially adopted Master
Plan or Official Map shall be considered in approval of subdivision
plats.
Monuments shall be of the size and shape required
by Section 11 of Chapter 141 of the Laws of 1960 and shall be placed
in accordance with said statute. Monuments shall also be required
to be placed along the boundary line of every parcel, other than streets,
being dedicated for public use at every corner and on the points of
curvature and tangency of every curve.
