The developer shall observe the following requirements and principles of land subdivision or site work in the design of each subdivision or site plan.
A. 
The subdivision plat or site plan shall conform to design standards that will encourage good development patterns within the Borough. 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. A developer shall not utilize an alternate design standard without the approval of the Borough Planning Board. Said approval shall be obtained by submitting a letter and any graphic material needed to support the requested change to the Borough Engineer who shall review the alternate design standard and report his findings to the Planning Board. The alternate design standard may then be approved by the Planning Board if the Borough Engineer certifies that it equals or exceeds the standard established by this chapter.
B. 
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. Where no Master Plan or Official Map exists, streets and drainage rights-of-way shall be shown on the final plat in accordance with Section 20 of Chapter 433 of the Laws of 1953 and shall be such as to lend themselves to the harmonious development of the Borough and enhance the public welfare in accordance with the following specific design standards of this chapter.
Design criteria and policy shall, at a minimum, meet the standards established for comparable improvements installed by the Borough. They shall, in addition, be subject to the following design requirements.
A. 
A major subdivision shall be so designed as to provide a street pattern which is curvilinear in design. The design of the residential subdivision street pattern shall be based upon a local residential street pattern connected to a residential collector street system.
B. 
The arrangement of streets not shown on the Master Plan or Official Map shall be such as to provide for the appropriate extension of existing streets.
C. 
Minor streets shall be so designed as to discourage through traffic.
D. 
Subdivisions abutting arterial streets shall provide a marginal service road or reverse frontage with a twenty-five-foot buffer strip for planting or some other means of separation of through and local traffic as the Planning Board may determine appropriate.
E. 
Right-of-way width.

F. 
No subdivision showing reverse strips controlling access to streets shall be approved except where the control and disposal of land comprising such strips has been conveyed to the governing body under conditions approved by the Planning Board.
G. 
Subdivisions that adjoin or include existing streets that do not conform to the width as shown on the Master Plan or Official Map or the street width requirements 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.
H. 
Grades above 8% at intersections shall be allowed if environmental factors justify it. At the intersection of any street and a collector street, grades shall not exceed 5%. Minimum grades off all streets shall be 0.75% unless concrete gutters are constructed in which case the grade may be reduced to 0.50%.
[Amended 8-13-1991 by Ord. No. 7-91]
I. 
Street intersection angles. The intersection of two local residential streets shall be as nearly to right angles as is possible and in no case shall be less than 60º. The intersection of a local residential street with a residential collector street shall be as nearly to right angles as is possible and in no case shall be less than 85º. The intersection of a residential street with another residential collector street shall not be less than 90º. The block corners at intersections shall be rounded at the curbline with a curve having a radius of not less than 25 feet.

No street shall have a name which will duplicate or so nearly duplicate as to be confused with the names of existing streets. The continuation of an existing street shall have the same name. All street names shall be checked against the Borough master file of street names.
Q. 
Subdivisions shall be so designed as to minimize the total area of the subdivision devoted to street right-of-way.
R. 
The access road and the area on each side thereof, for a distance of 10 feet on each side of the pavement of said road and for a height of 16 feet six inches from the surface of the road, shall be kept free and clear of tree limbs, vines and other obstructions to permit free and unobstructed use of said access road by emergency vehicles.
S. 
In general, continuous longitudinal downgrades shall not be run for more than 1,000 feet. Where the general ground slope makes longer runs desirable, such run shall be broken by a short upgrade of sufficient length to create a low point at least six inches in depth. Double inlets shall be located at the low point.

In lieu of the requirements of Subsection T(1), flexible roadway pavements may be designed using the procedures established in the publication entitled "Thickness Design - Full Depth Asphalt Pavement Structures for Highways and Streets," Manual Series No. 1 (MS-1), published by the Asphalt Institute, dated December 1969, except as herein modified, or by using the Structural Number System, which is taken from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Design Manual.
U. 
Four-way intersections. Four-way intersections connecting a local residential street with another local residential street or with residential collector streets shall be prohibited.
V. 
Half streets. New half or partial streets shall not be permitted. Wherever a proposed subdivision borders an existing undeveloped street, the Planning Board may require that at least one lane of the other part of the street be constructed if it is found that such a requirement will increase or improve the effect of the traffic circulation system in the area. Full width construction may be required depending on size or development existing or anticipated traffic congestion and/or the general conditions of the area.
W. 
Multiple intersections. Multiple intersections involving a junction of more than two streets shall be prohibited.
X. 
Intersections with arterial streets. To the fullest extent possible, local residential streets and residential collector streets shall not intersect with arterial streets less than 800 feet apart, measured from the center line.
A. 
General. The lot size, width, depth, shape, orientation and the minimum building setback lines shall be appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated.
B. 
Lot dimensions shall conform to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance,[1] and lots abutting major and collector streets shall exceed the minimum depth requirements where necessary to increase the safety and privacy thereon.
[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 125, Zoning.
C. 
Access. Each lot shall front on an approved street.
D. 
Street widening. Where extra width has been dedicated for the widening of existing streets, lots shall begin at such extra width line, and all setbacks shall be measured from such line.
E. 
Side lot lines. Insofar as is practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight streets and radial to curved streets.
F. 
Double frontage. Double frontage and reverse frontage lots should be avoided except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planting screen easement of at least 10 feet shall be provided along the line of lots abutting such a traffic artery or other disadvantageous use. There shall be no right of access across such easement.
G. 
Off-street parking. Where no garage is erected on a lot to be used for the building of housing accommodations, a hard-surfaced driveway shall be constructed from the street line to the building line in order to provide off-street parking.
H. 
Odd-shaped lots. Where there is a question as to the shape and boundary line of a lot or lots for their optimum use by a future occupant, including such conditions as narrow or unduly elongated lots and other awkward appearing angles or appendages, the Planning Board may withhold approval of such lot or lots.
I. 
Extra lot depth. Residential lots fronting on arterial streets, lots having reverse frontage on arterial streets and lots backing on streams shall be provided with 30 feet extra depth.
J. 
Lots backing on railroads. Lots backing on railroad rights-of-way shall have additional depth equal to not less than 25%. In the interest of maintaining the safety and welfare of future residents of the lots backing on a railroad, a protective fence and landscaped buffer screen shall be erected by the subdivider, the type and location of which shall be subject to the approval of the Planning Board.
A. 
Block length and width or acreage within bounding roads shall be such as to accommodate the size of lot required by this chapter and to provide for convenient access, circulation, control and safety of street traffic. For commercial group housing or industrial use, block size shall be sufficient to meet all area and yard requirements for such use.
B. 
Block length.
(1) 
It is recognized that setting minimum and maximum block length standards must be related to sound planning principles and to the varying densities and lots widths specified in the Zoning Ordinance,[1] To provide for this needed flexibility, the minimum and maximum length of a block shall be governed by the minimum and maximum number of lots specified in each lot width category in the following schedule:

B. 
Minimum easement width. Except as further required by this article, easements shall have a minimum width of 15 feet.
C. 
Pedestrian walkways. Interior pedestrian walkways may be required by the Planning Board where necessary to assist pedestrian circulation. Such walkways shall have a right-of-way width of not less than 15 feet and a paved sidewalk not less than four feet in width. A fence, of a height and type to be specified, shall be provided along both sides of the easement. Adjoining lots next to the walkway easements shall be increased in width from the center of the easements an amount equal to 1/2 of the required pedestrian walkway easement.
D. 
Drainageways. Where a subdivision is traversed by a drainageway, channel or stream, a drainageway easement conforming substantially with lines of such width as will be adequate to preserve natural drainage and provide sufficient width for maintenance shall be provided. Where it is found that additional easement width is needed, such width shall be determined by the Planning Board in consultation with the Borough Engineer.
E. 
Easement location. To the fullest extent possible, easements shall be centered on or adjacent to rear or side lot lines.
F. 
Easements and lot sizes. In specific cases where lots front or side on easements, the Planning Board, upon recommendation of the Borough Engineer, may require the depth or width of said affected lots to be increased by the width of the easement. This determination shall take into consideration the health, safety and welfare of the future residents of said lots as well as the usefulness of the lots by the future residents as a result of the easement.
[Amended 8-13-1991 by Ord. No. 7-91]
G. 
Street shade tree easement. A five-foot easement running parallel and contiguous to all street or highway rights-of-way shall be deeded to the Borough, granting the Borough the exclusive right to protect, plant, prune, spray, remove, control, regulate and improve shrubbery and shade trees thereon. In a new development where a shade tree easement has been provided, no plantings will be permitted within the street right-of-way.
H. 
Site triangle easement. A site triangle easement shall be provided at the intersection of two or more streets and shall consist of the triangular area formed by the intersecting street lines and the straight line joining points located on said street lines 30 feet distant from their point of intersection. No hedge, fence, plantings, walls or any other improvements shall be permitted in the site triangle which has a height of three feet. No parking or loading area will be permitted in this area.

(2) 
The intensity of the storm shall be based on the following:
[Amended 8-13-1991 by Ord. No. 7-91]
(a) 
As a minimum, a ten-year storm shall be used where excess flow can continue downhill in the street without flooding adjoining properties.
(b) 
As a minimum, a twenty-five-year storm shall be used at low points with a relief swale or where carried in a pipe.
(c) 
As a minimum, all box culvert designs shall be based on a one-hundred-year storm. The rainfall-intensity-duration frequency curve for Philadelphia presented in Technical Paper No. 25, prepared by the United States Department of Commerce Weather Bureau, shall be used.
(d) 
Standard headwells shall be installed on all pipes.
B. 
Pipeline design.
(1) 
Storm sewer pipelines shall be designed by the following method and shall be based on the Manning equation and shall utilize the following friction factors: n = 0.015 (concrete pipe); n = 0.021 (corrugated metal pipe).
(2) 
The minimum allowable pipe size is 15 inches. Reinforced concrete Class III shall be used in pavement areas and wherever there is vehicular traffic, unless otherwise designated by the Borough Engineer. Where the cover on the pipe will be less than two feet, reinforced concrete pipe Class IV shall be used.
(3) 
This method is based on the assumption that the hydraulic gradient will match the inside top of the pipe when the system is under maximum hydraulic load.
(a) 
For this method, head losses through manholes, inlets, etc., shall be ignored.
(b) 
The minimum slope of any pipe shall be such that a minimum velocity of 2.5 feet per second shall be maintained when the pipe is flowing at 1/4 full.
(c) 
When the pipe sizes change, the inside tops of the pipes shall be matched.
(d) 
Continuous profiles for each reach of pipe shall be plotted, along with the location of the hydraulic gradient, and the hydraulic information shall include the pipe size and type, the "n" factor, the slope of the hydraulic gradient, the slope of the pipe, the design capacity and the velocity at the design capacity.
C. 
Inlet design.
(1) 
Stormwater inlets shall be equal to New Jersey State Department inlet Type B. The maximum collecting capacities of the inlets shall be as follows:
(a) 
When installed on streets where the grade is 0.75%: five cubic feet per second.
(b) 
When installed on streets where the grade is 2%: 4.8 cubic feet per second.
(c) 
When installed on streets where the grade is 3%: 4.6 cubic feet per second.
(d) 
When installed on streets where the grade is 4%: 4.4 cubic feet per second.
(e) 
When installed on streets where the grade is 5%: 4.2 cubic feet per second.
(f) 
When installed on streets where the grade is 6%: 4.0 cubic feet per second.
(2) 
Sufficient inlets shall be located and constructed so that the length of surface runoff will not contribute a runoff to the inlet exceeding the preceding designated collecting capacities. In no case shall the distance between inlets be greater than 400 feet.
(3) 
The gutter grate of all inlets shall be set not more than two inches below the gutter grade. The surface of the paving adjacent to the inlets shall be constructed to blend into the lowered gutter grade at the inlet in such a manner that sudden drop-off or dip at the inlet will not be created. At such locations where drainage is entirely dependent on inlets, the collecting capacities of the inlets shall be designed for 1/2 the preceding considered capacities.
(4) 
Where surface water is collected from two directions at one street corner, inlets shall be placed at or near the tangent points of both ends of the radius. The use of one inlet in the radius shall not be allowed.
(5) 
Access manholes shall be spaced at four-hundred-foot intervals (maximum) through rights-of-way and at sewer junctions where there are no catch basins.
D. 
Open channel design.
(1) 
Open ditches or channels will not be permitted when the design capacity requires a fifteen-inch pipe or larger unless approved by the Borough Engineer. Where permitted, open channel design should be based on the following hydraulic considerations:
(a) 
Manning's equation.
n
=
0.015 (best concrete-lined ditch)
n
=
0.025 (best unlined ditch)
n
=
0.03 - 0.15 (fair to poor natural streams and watercourses)
(b) 
Allowable velocity of excavation material.
Excavation Material
Velocity
(feet per second)
Fine sand and firm loam
2.5 - 3.5
Stiff clay and hard pan
3.75 - 6.0
Concrete-lined ditch
15
(2) 
Ample freeboard, not less than one foot zero inches, should be provided on all channels.
(3) 
The channel should be designed to conform, wherever possible, to the adjacent ground conditions. This means that it should not be projecting excessively above the surrounding ground.
(4) 
Continuous profiles for each reach of open channel should be plotted, along with adjacent average ground and the hydraulic information pertinent to each reach within the system. This information shall include the type of channel lining, the "n" factor, the width of the channel bottom, the side slopes, the water depth, the design capacity and the velocity at the design capacity.
(5) 
Open channels shall have a maximum side slope of 3:1 and shall have adequate slope protection as required by the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance.
E. 
Culverts. All culverts shall be limited to a single opening; multiple pipes will not be permitted. The design of culverts shall be such as to minimize the probability of debris accumulation.
F. 
Detention basin design.
[Amended 8-13-1991 by Ord. No. 7-91]
(1) 
Detention ponds will be required in all major developments and site plans unless deemed unnecessary by the Borough Engineer.
(2) 
Detention ponds shall be designed using the modified rational method or Soil Conservation Services Method to limit the stormwater runoff to a controlled rate of flow equal to or less than the stormwater runoff prior to development. The required storage in the basin should be for a twenty-five-year storm, with the outflow from the basin limited to a ten-year storm, and provide a freeboard of one foot from the maximum water elevation to any overflow or drainage inlet grade elevations. Complete calculations for the basin should be supplied at the time the preliminary subdivision or site plan is submitted. These calculations shall include the analyzation of the detention basin for a two- , five- , ten- , twenty-five- and fifty-year storm frequency. The calculations shall include runoff to the development, runoff after development and complete calculations for design.
A. 
Streetlighting shall be installed by the subdivider in locations approved by the Borough Engineer, in accordance with the Borough's streetlighting policy.

A. 
Underdrains shall be provided throughout all of the developments to carry water by gravity from below all basement floors to storm drains or other proper places of disposal. Where perimeter underdrains are provided, they shall be connected into a sump pit approved by the Borough Engineer and discharge to a storm drainage system or shall be tied into a separate underdrain system. In no case shall perimeter underdrains be tied into the underdrain beneath the sanitary sewers.
B. 
Where sump pumps are used on individual lots, they shall discharge into a pipe which shall run from the structure to the underdrain in the street. A sump pump may only be used to supplement the underdrain system around the structure. No underdrains in streets shall be less than six inches in diameter. The size of the underdrains shall be increased not less than 10% in cross-section areas for each 1,000 feet on longitudinal drain. Cleanouts shall be provided at all changes in line or grade; however, the distance between cleanouts shall not exceed 400 feet. In no case shall cleanouts be permitted in sanitary manholes. One cleanout with a screw-type cap shall also be provided in each basement floor drain to the underdrain in the street. Underdrains in the street shall be separated from the sanitary sewer by a horizontal and vertical distance of at least one foot zero inches.
[Amended 8-13-1991 by Ord. No. 7-91]
No topsoil shall be removed from the site or used as spoil. Topsoil moved during the course of construction shall be redistributed so as to provide at least six inches of cover to all areas of the subdivision and shall be stabilized by seeding or planting. Under no circumstances shall any soil or earth be sold or otherwise removed from the site, unless application is made and approval granted therefor under the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance and written permission obtained from the Planning Board.
Natural features such as trees, brooks, hilltops and views shall be preserved whenever possible in designing any subdivision containing such features.
Soil erosion prevention and sediment control techniques shall be submitted with the preliminary plan in conformance with the guidelines established by the Camden County Soil Conservation District and the United States Department of Agriculture soil survey for Camden County.
A. 
Sidewalks shall be installed on one or both sides of a street as the Planning Board may direct and at such width as may be determined by the Planning Board in accordance with the attached construction standards.[1] All sidewalks shall be a minimum of four feet wide, except where it is deemed necessary to be wider by the Planning Board, and four inches thick, except at driveway crossings where they shall be six inches thick.
[Amended 8-13-1991 by Ord. No. 7-91]
