With respect to all applications for subdivision and site plan
approval, the Borough of Park Ridge Planning Board shall condition
any such approval upon the execution of a developer's agreement
between the Borough of Park Ridge Planning Board (the "Board") and
the applicant specifying, in part, off-site, on-tract or off-tract
improvements, public improvements, bonding requirements, escrow requirements,
other conditions imposed by the Borough and such other terms and conditions
as the Borough deems appropriate. The Board may waive the requirement
of a developer's agreement in appropriate circumstances. Unless
so waived, no certificate of occupancy or building permit shall be
issued respecting any application for development requiring subdivision
or site plan approval unless the applicant has entered into a developer's
agreement of a form specified herein.
In the event that other governmental agencies or public utilities
automatically will own the utilities to be installed or the improvements
are covered by a performance or maintenance guarantee to another governmental
agency, no performance or maintenance guarantee, as the case may be,
shall be required by the Borough for such utilities or improvements.
In the event that final approval is by stages or sections of
development pursuant to subsection a. of section 29 of P.L.1975, c.
291 (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-38), the provisions of this section shall be
applied by stage or section.
Where a cash contribution or other financial distribution is
determined, the following criteria shall be utilized in determining
the proportionate share of such improvement to the applicant:
A. Street widening, alignment, corrections, channelization of intersections
construction of barriers, new or improved traffic signalization, signs,
curbs, sidewalks, trees, utility improvements not covered elsewhere,
the construction of new streets and other similar street or traffic
improvements: The applicant's proportionate cost shall be in
the ratio of the estimated peak-hour traffic generated by the proposed
property or properties to the sum of the present deficiency in peak-hour
traffic capacity of the present facility and the estimated peak-hour
traffic generated by the proposed development. The ratio thus calculated
shall be increased by 10% for contingencies.
B. Water distribution facilities including the installation of new water
mains, the extension of existing water mains, the relocation of such
facilities and the installation of other appurtenances associated
therewith: The applicant's proportionate cost shall be in the
ratio of the estimated daily use of water from the property or properties
in gallons per day for the existing system or subsystem and the estimated
daily use of water for the proposed development. The ratio thus calculated
shall be increased by 10% for contingencies.
C. Sanitary sewage distribution facilities including installation, relocation
or replacement of collector and interceptor sewers and the installation,
relocation or replacement of other appurtenances associated therewith:
The applicant's proportionate cost shall be in the ratio of the
estimated daily flow in gallons to the sum of the present deficient
capacity for the existing system or subsystem and the estimated daily
flow from the proposed project or development. In the case where peak
flow from the proposed development may occur during the peak flow
period for the existing system, the ratio shall be the estimated peak
flow rate from the proposed development in gallons per minute to the
sum of the present peak flow deficiency in the existing system or
subsystem and the estimated peak flow rate from the proposed development.
The greater of the two ratios thus calculated shall be increased by
10% for contingencies and shall be the ratio used to determine the
cost to the applicant.
D. Stormwater and drainage improvements, including the installation,
relocation or replacement of transmission lines, culverts, catch basins
and the installation, relocation or replacement of other appurtenances
associated therewith: The applicant's proportionate cost shall
be in the ratio of the estimated peak surface runoff as proposed to
be delivered into the existing system measured in cubic feet per second
to the sum of the existing peak hour flow in cubic feet per second
deficient for the existing system and the estimated peak flow as proposed
to be delivered. The ratio thus calculated shall be increased by 10%
for contingencies.
