[Amended 3-20-2008 by Ord. No. 4-08]
[1]
Any application to the Borough Planning Board
for subdivision or site plan approval for the construction of multifamily
dwellings of three or more units, single-family developments of 50
or more units or any commercial, institutional or industrial development
for the utilization of 1,000 square feet or more of land shall submit
a recycling plan that must contain, at a minimum, the following:
[a]
A detailed analysis of the expected
composition and amounts of solid waste and recyclables generated at
the proposed development; and
[b]
Locations documented on the applicant's
site plan that provide for convenient recycling opportunities for
all owners, tenants and occupants. The recycling area shall be of
sufficient size, be in a convenient location and contain other attributes
(signage, lighting, fencing, etc.) as may be determined by the Municipal
Recycling Coordinator.
[2]
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
by the Borough of Kinnelon, the owner of any new multifamily housing
or commercial, institutional, or industrial development must supply
a copy of a duly executed contract with a hauling company for the
purposes of collection and recycling of source-separated recyclable
materials. The applicant shall make provisions for the indoor, or
enclosed outdoor, storage and pickup of solid waste. Said provisions
shall be approved by the Borough of Kinnelon Engineer.

Board.
H.
Traffic impact study checklist.
(1)
A traffic impact study shall be required for all subdivisions
over 10 lots, residential site plans for over 10 units and commercial
site plans with over 10 parking spaces. The traffic impact study shall
be in the form required by this article, unless the report is specifically
waived by the Planning Board. A traffic impact study shall not be
required for development along Route 23; however, a New Jersey Department
of Transportation (NJDOT) permit shall be submitted where such permit
is required or modified to include criteria required by NJDOT pursuant
to their rules for highway access permits.
(2)
The traffic impact study report shall contain the
following information:
(a)
Projections of traffic to be generated by the
proposed development for average, daily, morning peak highway hour(s),
afternoon peak highway hour(s) and any other peak traffic condition
deemed applicable as a result of the type and/or location of the proposed
generator. Traffic generation rates should be based upon local indexes,
where available, and should be documented in the report. Also, the
method and data base upon which traffic-approach-route distributions
are based shall be fully documented. Any assumptions regarding the
diversion of existing traffic to alternative routes should be clearly
specified in the report.
(b)
The report shall contain a full documentation
of all existing applicable conditions on adjacent streets serving
immediate site access/egress, including but not limited to roadway
pavement width, rights-of-way, curb parking conditions, pavement conditions,
sight distances, roadway grades and horizontal and vertical alignments
of the roadway. The location and type of intersection traffic control
devices both existing and proposed shall be specified. Existing traffic
volumes for average daily and peak-hour conditions shall be presented
with the source of these data denoted.
(c)
An assessment of the traffic impact of the proposed
development, including an estimate of volume-versus-capacity relationships,
shall be provided. In preparing these estimates, assumptions regarding
the annual growth rate of existing traffic should be fully documented.
Capacity determination shall be based upon normally accepted standards,
with the basis of these estimates clearly indicated. In the event
that the project is staged over a period of time, independent estimates
for each stage envisioned shall be provided.
(d)
In the event that roadway deficiencies are identified
for existing and/or future conditions, specific recommendations for
the resolution of these problems shall be addressed in the report.
The report shall contain a listing of any and all actions to be undertaken
by the applicant to resolve or minimize traffic problems and, as such,
shall be considered a firm offer by the applicant to undertake said
actions, subject to approval by the Planning Board and any other county
or state agency with jurisdiction.
