Monuments shall be placed at all property line intersections of the original tract as shall be required by the head of Borough Engineering Services. Markers shall be required at all lot line intersections.
A. 
All improvements specified and approved on the final approved plat shall be installed, constructed and completed in accordance with the approved plat and with all design standards and improvement procedures specified by the head of Borough Engineering Services, and shall comply with all applicable Borough specifications. Where no Borough specifications apply, specifications of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) shall be used.
B. 
All public improvements specified and approved on the final approved plats shall be installed within two years of the date of recording the plat, or prior to development of 60% of the lot or lots on the approved plat, whichever occurs first. An extension of one year may be requested from Borough Council, if such extension request is submitted to the Director of Borough Engineering in writing at least three months prior to the required completion date of the public improvements. The granting of such extension is within Borough Council's sole discretion.
Utilities shall be provided by the developer on the following basis:
A. 
Sanitary sewer. The developer shall install, to Borough specifications, the sanitary sewer and the sewer laterals to the curb.
B. 
Water. The developer shall install, to Borough specifications, the water mains, fire hydrants and water services. Such installation shall be made by the developer in accordance with the rules, regulations and schedule of charges for water service adopted by the Waynesboro Borough Authority, as the same may be amended from time to time. The rules, regulations and schedule of charges for water service as adopted by the Waynesboro Borough Authority above-referred to are hereby incorporated herein insofar as the same are applicable to the installation of water mains, fire hydrants and water services.
C. 
Storm sewer.
(1) 
The developer shall provide all storm sewers, storm inlets and other improvements required within the subdivision or land development. All requirements of Chapter 238, Stormwater Management, shall be met. The Borough will pay the increased cost of additional capacity for trunk storm sewers when they are required to drain areas above and beyond the subdivision. The increased cost shall be determined as the difference in construction cost of the trunk sewer and a sewer required to carry only the runoff from the subdivision or land development. The cost difference shall be based on accepted engineering design standards and shall be as determined by the head of Borough Engineering Services.
(2) 
All engineering and construction plans shall be provided by the subdivider drawn to Borough specifications and approved by the head of Borough Engineering Services. One hard copy and one electronic copy of the as-built plans shall be provided to the Borough.
A. 
All streets shall be graded to full right-of-way width. Planting strips shall be graded, properly prepared and seeded or sodded with lawn grass.
B. 
All streets shall be paved to full cartway width with Superpave Hot-Mix Asphalt Design per Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) design guidelines.
C. 
When unusual soil conditions are encountered, special pavement features may be required as determined by the head of Borough Engineering Services.
Curbs shall be 20 inches by six inches at top times seven inches at base, as per Ordinance No. 1086, as amended, and all subsequent amendments thereto.
Sidewalks meeting requirements of Borough Ordinance No. 1086, as amended, and all subsequent amendments thereto, shall be installed on both sides of all streets within and abutting the subdivision or land development.
Street name signs shall be installed at all street intersections. The design and placement of such signs shall be subject to approval of the Borough.
Streetlights shall be provided at locations designated by the local utility company consistent with current policy, at all street intersections and all other locations considered necessary for safety reasons as approved by Borough Council.
Installations necessary to implement the erosion and sediment control plan shall be made on the tract by the applicant as required improvements per the requirements of the Franklin County Conservation District.
A. 
Abbreviated traffic impact study. Whenever a proposed development will generate 50 to 99 new vehicle trips in the peak direction (inbound or outbound) during the site peak traffic hour, the applicant shall perform an abbreviated traffic impact study. Based on this study, certain improvements may be identified as necessary to provide safe and efficient access to the development. The abbreviated traffic impact study shall include:
(1) 
A capacity analysis report prepared under the supervision of a qualified and experienced transportation engineer.
(2) 
The study area for the capacity analysis report shall only include all proposed intersections.
B. 
Comprehensive traffic impact study.
(1) 
Whenever a proposed development will generate 100 or more new vehicle trips in the peak direction (inbound or outbound) during the site peak traffic hour, the applicant shall perform a comprehensive traffic impact study. Based on this study, certain improvements may be identified as necessary to provide safe and efficient access to the development.
(2) 
In addition, a comprehensive traffic impact study shall be prepared whenever either of the following conditions exists within the impact study area, as determined by the Borough:
(a) 
Current traffic problems exist in the local area, such as a high crash location, confusing intersection, or a congested intersection that directly affects access to the development.
(b) 
The ability of the existing roadway system to handle increased traffic or the feasibility of improving the roadway system to handle increased traffic is limited.
C. 
Traffic impact study requirements.
(1) 
Area of traffic impact study. The traffic impact study area shall be based on the characteristics of the surrounding area. The intersections to be included in the study shall be adjacent to the development site or have direct impact upon the access to the site. The intersections shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borough and the transportation engineer preparing the study. In the event of a dispute regarding the intersection to be included in the study, the Zoning Hearing Board shall determine the appropriate intersection for inclusion.
(2) 
Preparation by transportation engineer required. Traffic impact studies shall be prepared by or under the supervision of qualified and experienced transportation engineers with specific training in traffic and transportation engineering and at least two years of experience related to preparing traffic studies for existing or proposed developments.
(3) 
Horizon year. The traffic forecasts shall be prepared for the anticipated opening year of the development, assuming full build out and occupancy. This year shall be referred to as the horizon year.
(4) 
Nonsite traffic estimates. Estimates of nonsite traffic shall be made, and will consist of through motorized and nonmotorized traffic and motorized and nonmotorized traffic generated by all other developments within the study area for which preliminary or final plans have been approved. Nonsite traffic may be estimated using one of the following three methods: build-up technique; area transportation plan data or modeled volumes; and trends or growth rates.
(5) 
Trip generation rates required. The traffic impact study shall include a table showing the land use categories and quantities, with the corresponding trip generation rates or equations (with justification for selection of one or the other), and resulting number of trips. The trip generation rates used must be either from the latest edition of trip generation by the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers), or from a local study of corresponding land uses and quantities. All sources must be referenced in the study.
(6) 
Consideration of pass-by trips. If pass-by trips or shared trips are a major consideration for the land use in question, studies should be referenced and interviews should be conducted and documented at similar land uses.
(7) 
Rate sums. Any significant difference between the sums of single-use rates and proposed mixed-use estimates must be justified and explained in the study.
(8) 
Explanations required. The reasoning and data used in developing a trip generation rate for special/unusual generators must be justified and explained in the report.
(9) 
Definition of influence area.
(a) 
Prior to trip distribution of site-generated trips, an influence area must be defined which contains 80% or more of the trip ends that will be attracted to the development. A market study can be used to establish the limits of an influence area, if available. If no market study is available, an influence area should be estimated based on a reasonable documented estimate. The influence area can also be based on a reasonable maximum convenient travel time to the site, or delineating area boundaries based on locations of competing developments.
(b) 
Other methods, such as using trip data from an existing development with similar characteristics or using an existing origin-designation survey of trips within the area, can be used in place of the influence area to delineate the boundaries of the impact.
(10) 
Estimates of trip distribution required.
(a) 
Trip distribution can be estimated using any one of the following three methods:
[1] 
Analogy.
[2] 
Trip distribution model.
[3] 
Surrogate data.
(b) 
Whichever method is used, trip distribution must be estimated and analyzed for the horizon year. A mixed-use development may require more than one distribution and coinciding assignment for each phase (for example, residential and retail phases on the same site). Consideration must also be given to whether inbound or outbound trips will have similar distributions.
(11) 
Trip assignments.
(a) 
Assignments must be made considering logical routings, available roadway capacities, left turns at critical intersections, and projected (and perceived) minimum travel times. In addition, multiple paths should often be assigned between origins and destinations to achieve realistic estimates rather than assigning all of the trips to the route with the shortest travel time. The assignments must be carried through the external site access points and in large projects (those producing 500 or more additional peak direction trips to or from the site during the developments peak hour) through the internal roadways. When the site has more than one access driveway, logical routing and possible multiple paths should be used to obtain realistic driveway volumes. The assignment should reflect conditions at the time of the analysis. Assignments can be accomplished either manually or with applicable computer models.
(b) 
If a thorough analysis is required to account for pass-by trips, the following procedure should be used:
[1] 
Determine the percentage of pass-by trips in the total trips generated.
[2] 
Estimate a trip distribution for the pass-by trips.
[3] 
Perform two separate trip assignments, based on the new and pass-by trip distributions.
(c) 
Upon completion of the initial site traffic assignment, the results should be reviewed to see if the volumes appear logical given characteristics of the road system and trip distribution. Adjustments should be made if the initial results do not appear to be logical or reasonable.
(12) 
Total traffic impacts. Motorized and nonmotorized traffic estimates for any site with current traffic activity must reflect not only new traffic associated with the development sites redevelopment, but also the trips subtracted from the traffic stream because of the removal of a land use. The traffic impact study should clearly depict the total traffic estimate and its components.
(13) 
Capacity analysis.
(a) 
Capacity analysis must be performed at each of the major streets and development site access intersection locations (signalized and unsignalized) within the study area. In addition, analysis must be completed for roadway segments deemed sensitive to site traffic within the study area as determined by the Borough. These may include such segments as weaving sections, ramps, internal site roadways, parking facility access points, and reservoirs for vehicles queuing on and off site. Other locations may be deemed appropriate depending on the situation.
(b) 
The recommended level-of-service analysis procedures detailed in the most recent edition of the Highway Capacity Manual must be followed.
(c) 
The operational analysis in the Highway Capacity Manual should be used for analyzing existing conditions, traffic impacts, access requirements, or other future conditions for which traffic, geometric, and control parameters can be established.
(14) 
Required levels-of-service. The recommendations of the traffic impact study shall provide safe and efficient movement of traffic to and from and within and past the proposed development, while minimizing the impact to nonsite trips. The current levels-of-services must be maintained if they are Levels C or D, not allowed to deteriorate to worse than Level C if they are currently Levels A or B, and improved to Level D if they are Levels E or F.
(15) 
Documentation required. A traffic impact study report shall be prepared to document the purpose, procedures, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the study.
(a) 
The documentation for a traffic impact study shall include at a minimum:
[1] 
Study purpose and objectives.
[2] 
Description of the site and study area.
[3] 
Existing roadway conditions in the area of the development.
[4] 
Recorded or approved development(s) within the traffic impact study area.
[5] 
Trip generation, trip distribution, and modal split.
[6] 
Projected future motorized and nonmotorized traffic volumes.
[7] 
An assessment of the change in roadway operating conditions resulting from the development traffic.
[8] 
Recommendations for site access and transportation improvements needed to maintain and/or improve motorized and nonmotorized traffic flow to, from, within, and past the site at an acceptable and safe level-of-service.
[9] 
Transit location, availability of bike routes, connection to a park and/or trail system.
(b) 
The analysis shall be presented in a straight forward and logical sequence. It shall lead the reader step by step through the various stages of the process and resulting conclusions and recommendations.
(c) 
The recommendations shall specify the time period within which the improvements should be made (particularly if the improvements are associated with various phases of the development construction), and any monitoring of operating conditions and improvements that may be required. The recommendations shall also identify who will be responsible for making improvements.
(d) 
Data shall be presented in tables, graphs, maps, and diagrams wherever possible for clarity and ease of review.
(e) 
To facilitate examination by the Borough, an executive summary of one or two pages shall be provided, concisely summarizing the purpose, conclusions, and recommendations.
(f) 
The study documentation outlined above provides a framework for development site traffic access/impact study reports. Some studies will be easily documented using the outline. However, the specific issues to be addressed, local study requirements, and the study results may warrant additional sections.
D. 
Improvements.
(1) 
Responsibility for improvements. The applicant shall be responsible for the improvements required to provide safe and convenient ingress and egress to the development site.
(2) 
Coordination with Borough requirements. The applicant shall be responsible for other improvements related to the results of the traffic impact study.
Deciduous hardwood trees of a species approved in the shade tree ordinance list, as amended from time to time, having a minimum caliper of two to 2 1/2 inches shall be provided along all existing and proposed streets within and abutting the subdivision or land development. Conditions of placement and inspection shall be specified by the Borough.
Recreation facilities shall be provided where a fee has not been paid in lieu of such facilities.
The traffic control devices shown on the approved plan, including such items as stop signs and signs restricting parking, shall be installed as required by the Borough.
Utility excavations in areas of streets, access drives, parking areas, and loading areas shall be backfilled in accordance with Borough standards.
All access drives and parking and loading areas for apartment, townhouses, commercial, office and industrial land developments shall be constructed to standards approved by the head of Borough Engineering Services. The head of Borough Engineering Services may allow the use of porous paving when he deems it appropriate.
The installation of required improvements will be inspected by the Borough as deemed necessary by the Borough. The applicant shall reimburse the Borough for the reasonable and necessary expense incurred for the inspection of the improvements.
