A. 
Physical improvements to the property being developed shall be provided, constructed, and installed as shown on the record plan in accordance with the requirements of the Borough.
B. 
As a condition to review of a final plan by the Borough Planning Commission, the developer shall agree with the Borough as to installations of all improvements shown on the plan and required by these regulations. Before the record plan may be recorded, the developer shall submit a completed executed original copy of the subdivision improvements agreement.
C. 
All improvements installed by the developer shall be constructed in accordance with the design specifications of the Borough. Costs thereof shall be borne by the developer. If there are no applicable county or state regulations, the Borough may authorize that specifications be prepared by a registered professional engineer.
D. 
Supervision of the installation of the improvements required by this chapter shall in all cases be the responsibility of the Borough or of the appropriate state regulatory agency.
A. 
Sanitary sewage disposal systems shall be provided, consistent with the design standards and requirements contained in § 162-43 of these regulations. Where it shall appear that the area to be developed or subdivided shall be served within a reasonable time by a community sewage system, capped sewers shall be provided.
B. 
Wherever feasible, the subdivision shall be provided with a complete public or community water distribution system. The design and installation of such system shall be subject to the approval of the engineer of the appropriate water utility company and/or the Borough Engineer; the design and installation of such community distribution system shall be subject to the approval of the Department of Environmental Protection and such system shall be further subject to satisfactory provision for the maintenance thereof.
Wherever a public or community water supply system is provided, fire hydrants shall be installed within 600 feet of all existing and proposed structures, measured by way of accessible streets as specified by the Middle States Department Association of Fire Underwriters and the fire marshal providing service in the area.
A. 
Permanent stone or concrete monuments shall be accurately placed at the intersection of all lines forming angles and at changes in directions of lines in the boundary (perimeter) of the property being subdivided and include all lots being created.
B. 
All monuments shall be placed by a registered engineer or surveyor so that the scored (by an indented cross in the top of the monument) point shall coincide exactly with the point of intersection of the lines being monumented.
C. 
Monuments shall be set with their top level with the finished grade of the surrounding ground.
D. 
All streets shall be monumented (preferably on the right-of-way lines) at the following locations:
(1) 
At least one monument at each intersection;
(2) 
At changes in direction of street lines, excluding curb arcs at intersections;
(3) 
At each end of each curbed street line, excluding curb arcs at intersections;
(4) 
An intermediate monument wherever topographical or other conditions make it impossible to sight between two otherwise required monuments;
(5) 
At such other places along the line of streets as may be determined by the Borough to be necessary so that any street may be readily defined in the future.
A. 
No portions of tree masses or trees with calipers of six inches or greater shall be cleared unless clearly necessary for effectuation of the proposed subdivision or development. Developers shall make all reasonable efforts to harmonize their plans with the preservation of existing trees.
B. 
When effectuation of a proposed subdivision or development necessitates the clearing of trees or portions of tree masses, developers shall be guided by the following criteria in selecting trees and ornamentals for retention or clearing:
(1) 
Aesthetic values. (Autumn coloration, type of flowers and fruit, bark and crown characteristics, amount of dieback present);
(2) 
Susceptibility of tree to insect and disease attack and to air pollution;
(3) 
Species longevity;
(4) 
Wind firmness and characteristic of soil to hold trees;
(5) 
Wildlife values (e.g., oak, hickory, pine, walnut and dogwood have high food value);
(6) 
Comfort to surroundings (e.g., hardwoods reduce summer temperatures to surroundings more effectively than pines or cedars);
(7) 
Existence of disease, rot or other damage to the tree;
(8) 
Protection of buildings (e.g., dead and large limbs hanging over buildings should be removed);
(9) 
The size of the tree at maturity;
(10) 
Mature tree protection.
C. 
Developers shall exercise care to protect trees which are to remain from damage during construction. The following procedures shall be followed in order to so protect remaining trees:
(1) 
Where existing ground levels are changed, drainage tile will be placed at the old soil level and open into a well built around the base of the tree. Such well may be left open or can be filled with coarse stones or gravel. Tiles may be installed in a radiating pattern or laid in parallel lines;
(2) 
Trees within 25 feet of a building site or bordering entrances or exits to building sites shall be protected by wiring wooden slats around such trees;
(3) 
No boards or other material shall be nailed to trees during construction;
(4) 
Heavy equipment operators shall be warned to avoid damaging existing tree trunks and roots. Feeder roots shall not be cut closer than 25 feet from tree trunks;
(5) 
Tree trunks and exposed roots damaged during construction shall be protected from further damage by being treated immediately with "tree paint";
(6) 
Tree limbs damaged during construction shall be sawed flush to tree trunks;
(7) 
The operation of heavy equipment over root systems of such trees shall be minimized in order to prevent soil compaction. Developers shall inform their heavy equipment operators that root systems extend to at least the dripline of the tree;
(8) 
Leaf trees shall be given a heavy application of fertilizer to aid in their recovery from possible damage caused by construction operation. A professional should be consulted concerning proper rates of application;
(9) 
Construction debris shall not be disposed of near or around the bases of such trees.
D. 
Trees with a minimum caliper of 1 1/2 inches shall be provided where deemed advisable by the Borough Planning Commission and/or the Borough Council. The criteria for selection of trees to be planted shall be those enumerated in § 162-54.
