A.
Prior to the granting of final approval of all subdivision
hereafter submitted to the Joint Planning/Zoning Board of Adjustment
for final approval, the subdivider shall have installed or shall have
furnished performance guaranties for the ultimate installation of
the following:
B.
All of the above listed improvements shall be subject
to inspection and approval by the Borough Engineer, who shall have
been notified by the developer at least 24 hours prior to the start
of construction. No underground installation shall be covered until
inspected and approved. Design standards shall be as specified in
this chapter or other ordinances and interpreted by the Borough Engineer.
No trees, brush or debris shall be used as landfill
or in lieu thereof, nor shall any landfilling operation be performed
in such a manner as to cover unremoved trees and debris on any streets,
lots or other areas.
The subdivider shall make provision for filling
in all stormwater pockets, holes or areas in which stormwater may
collect.
The land subject to flooding and land deemed
by the Joint Planning/Zoning Board of Adjustment to be uninhabitable
shall not be platted for residential occupancy or for such other uses
as may increase danger to health, life or property or aggravate the
flood hazard. However, such land within the plat may be set aside
for such uses as will not be endangered by periodic or occasional
inundation or will not produce unsatisfactory living conditions.
A.
All streets or roads which are designed to become
part of the street or road system of the Borough of Runnemede and
environs, as shown on the preliminary and final plans, shall be coterminous
with adjoining links to said system.
B.
Dead-end streets shall be avoided wherever possible.
If their use is unavoidable, all such streets and roads serving several
otherwise isolated lots, where necessary in the opinion of the Borough
Engineer and the Joint Planning/Zoning Board of Adjustment, shall
have a circular turning space at the end with a minimum radius of
50 feet at the curbline, and, if sidewalks need to be provided for,
the overall minimum radius of the right-of-way shall be 60 feet.
Fire alarm systems will be installed where they
can be connected either by wire or electronically to an existing system.
Such systems and connections shall meet with requirements of the local
fire district and the Borough Engineer.
A.
All of the improvements listed in the within Article VIII shall be subject to inspection and approval by the Borough Engineer, who shall be notified by the subdivider or developer at least 48 hours prior to the start of construction. No underground installation shall be covered until inspected and approved by the Borough Engineer or those agencies having jurisdiction over the particular installation.
B.
The standard specifications of the Borough, as now
or hereafter adopted, shall govern the construction and installation
of all the above improvements. Failure of the subdivider, developer,
his contractor or agents to conform to said specifications will be
just cause for the suspension of the work being performed, and no
person, firm or corporation shall have the right to demand or claim
damages from the Borough, its officers, agents or servants by reason
of such suspension.
The subdivider or developer shall pay to the
Borough, in addition to the application fee, a reasonable charge for
the inspection by the Borough Engineer for the installation of all
improvements required to be installed by said subdivider or developer,
exclusive of the sanitary sewer. Payment of the inspection fees shall
be made in the following manner: As a condition of final approval,
the developer shall deposit with the Borough Clerk an amount to be
determined by the Borough Engineer sufficient to cover a reasonable
charge for inspections. The developer shall also deposit with said
Borough Clerk such amount to be determined by the Construction Code
Official as reasonable charge to cover its inspections. Payments for
inspection charges by the Borough Engineer or his agents shall be
paid out of this fund upon presentation of bills by the Borough Engineer
to the Borough Treasurer for such inspections. When the subdivision
has been completed and all engineering inspection fees have been paid
to the Borough Engineer, any remaining balance in the account shall
be returned to the subdivider by the resolution of the Borough Council.
The same rule shall apply to the Construction Code Official's inspections.
