The purpose of this article is to make provision
for the development of single-family attached housing within the Borough
of Glen Rock in areas previously designated under the Master Plan
as A-1 and A-2 Residence Districts; which, however, due to the existence
of substantial planning concerns relating to environmental, geographical,
developmental and topographical considerations common thereto, have
precluded further development of housing within said areas in conformity
with the present residence districts.
As used in this article, the following words
shall have the meanings indicated:
COMMON OPEN SPACE
An open space area within or related to a site designated
as a development and designated and intended for the use or enjoyment
of the residents and owners of the development. Common open space
may contain such complimentary structures and improvements as are
necessary and appropriate for the use or enjoyment of residents and
owners of the development.
CONDOMINIUM
The form of ownership of real property under a master deed
providing for ownership by one or more owners of units of improvements,
together with an undivided interest in the common elements appurtenant
to each such unit.
OPEN SPACE
Any parcel or area of land or water essentially unimproved
and set aside, dedicated, designated or reserved for public or private
use or enjoyment or for the use and enjoyment of owners and occupants
of land adjoining or neighboring such open space, provided that such
areas may be improved with only those buildings, structures, streets
and off-street parking and other improvements that are designed to
be incidental to the natural openness of the land.
TOWNHOUSE
A building or structure designed for or occupied by no more
than one family and attached to other similar buildings or structures
by not more than two party walls extending from the foundation to
the roof and providing two direct means of access from the outside;
provided, further, that said townhouse unit shall be designed so that
no portion of any unit is oriented horizontally over any other unit,
and each such unit shall be serviced and equipped with independent
cooking, sleeping, heating and sanitary facilities. In addition, for
the purpose of this article, a townhouse shall be held in condominium
ownership.
No townhouse shall be erected within the A-2T District unless and until a site plan shall have been submitted to the Planning Board for its review and approval in accordance with this chapter and Chapter
192, Subdivision of Land, of the Code of the Borough of Glen Rock.
