Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, sidewalks and curbing shall be required along all street frontages as a condition relating to any minor subdivision, major subdivision, minor site plan or major site plan approval granted by the Land Use Board. The proposed curbing and sidewalk shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the requirements of §
231-42.
A. Payment in lieu of sidewalk and curbing.
(1)
Any developer seeking minor subdivision, major subdivision,
minor site plan and/or major site plan approval may request a waiver
of the requirement to install curbing and sidewalks along all street
frontages of the subject property by agreeing to pay a sum to the
Tuckerton Borough Pedestrian Safety Fund equal to the cost of said
curbing and sidewalk. Said cost shall be determined by the Borough
Engineer or the Land Use Board Engineer based on documented construction
costs for public improvements prevailing in the general area of the
municipality.
(2)
In determining whether to grant the requested waiver and accept
a payment in lieu of the installation of sidewalk and curbing, the
Land Use Board shall consider the following factors:
(a)
The presence or absence of curbing and sidewalks in the general
vicinity of the subject property;
(b)
The practical difficulty as established by the applicant of
installing such improvements in or adjacent to the subject property
due to exceptional topographic conditions, drainage concerns and/or
the deleterious impact to surrounding properties as a result of the
installation of such improvements;
(c)
The recommendation of the Board or Borough Engineer.
B. Tuckerton Borough Pedestrian Safety Fund.
(1)
There is hereby established the Tuckerton Borough Pedestrian
Safety Fund (hereinafter "fund").
(2)
Said fund shall be dedicated to pay for the cost of designing
and constructing various pedestrian safety projects and repairs within
the Borough.
(3)
All monies paid by developers in accordance with this section
shall be deposited into said fund.
(4)
The Chief Financial Officer of the Borough is hereby directed
to establish and maintain the fund and to make disbursements upon
the request of the Borough Council for designated pedestrian safety
improvements and repairs.
All the above improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the design standards contained in Article
VII and the construction specifications contained in Article
VIII of this chapter.
