(6) Where a land development abuts an existing road with a right-of-way and/or cartway width not meeting the requirements of § 22-25J hereof, sufficient right-of-way shall be dedicated so that the distance between the edge of the right-of-way and the road center line equals 1/2 of the ultimate required width, and/or the cartway will be widened as per the specifications of this chapter so that the distance between the edge of the cartway and road center line equals 1/2 of the required width. Where a land development abuts an existing road not meeting the requirements of § 22-25J, sufficient right-of-way to correct the alignment deficiency shall be dedicated.

(7) Where a land development abuts or contains an arterial road, the use of marginal access streets, reverse frontage lots, or other such treatment as will provide protection for abutting properties, reduction in the number of intersections with the arterial street, and separation of local and through traffic shall be required.

(8) Private streets (streets not to be offered for dedication) shall meet the street design and improvement standards set forth in this chapter. In addition, when a private street is proposed, the developer shall provide the Township with proposed deed covenants (which shall be noted on the plan and included in all deeds related thereto), in a form satisfactory to the Township, obliging the owners of all lots to be served by the street to provide, at their expense, perpetual street maintenance including, but not limited to, timely snow removal.

G. General street design standards. See Detail Plates WT-R-01 and WT-R-02.[1]

[1] Editor's Note: The Detail Plates are included in Appendix C at the end of this chapter.

H. The Board of Commissioners desires to reduce stormwater runoff and increase infiltration where appropriate. This goal can be furthered by reducing the cartway width of proposed roads and exchanging the use of curbing and sidewalks for improved roadway shoulders and roadside swales. Areas of Whitehall Township are zoned for low-impact residential development (one-plus-acre lots) and have soil types and geology that are compatible with favorable infiltration rates. When an applicant can demonstrate the benefits of this alternate design while providing for safe roadways and effective stormwater management, the Board of Commissioners may, with the concurrence of the Township Engineer, permit the applicant to incorporate the low-impact roadway standard, per Standard Detail WT-R-01C.[2]

[Added 1-12-2015 by Ord. No. 2995]

[2] Editor's Note: Standard Detail WT-R-01C is included as an attachment to this chapter.

A. Lighting and glare limitations.

(1) No direct glare shall be permitted beyond the property lines of a lot, with the exception that parking areas and walkways may be illuminated by luminary so hooded or shielded so that the maximum angle of the cone of direct illumination shall be 60° drawn perpendicular to the ground. Such luminary shall be placed not more than 35 feet above the ground level. The maximum illumination at ground level shall not be in excess of three footcandles.

(2) A luminary of less than four feet above the ground may have a cone angle of 90°.

(3) Indirect glare, as defined in this chapter, produced by illuminating or reflecting surface shall not exceed 0.3 footcandle instantaneous maximum measurement or 0.1 footcandle, average measurement.

(4) The provisions of this section shall apply to commercially used or zoned property and multi-family vertically attached structures, but shall not apply to other residential uses.

B. Footcandles.

(1) Unless stated herein or otherwise required by the Board of Commissioners, all lighting systems shall utilize high-intensity discharge sources. Average minimum maintained footcandle levels shall be no less than 1.00 footcandle and no more than 3.00 footcandles.

(2) Outdoor sales areas shall not be permitted to exceed 50 footcandles at any specific point on the front line display area. General parking and storage areas shall not exceed 20 footcandles at any specific point. In no case shall floodlights be utilized to illuminate front sales line or general area.

(5) Measurement. The maximum illumination levels of this section shall be measured with a photoelectric photometer having spectral response similar to that of the human eye. A "footcandle" is defined as a unit of measurement equaling the illumination on a surface one square foot in area where there is a distribution of light having a candlepower of one candela.

F. Streetlighting.

(1) Where required by the Board of Commissioners, streetlights and all accessory equipment shall be provided at the expense of the developer, at all intersections, ends of culs-de-sac, and between all intersections at spacing approved by the Township Lighting Consultant. As a minimum, all residential developments (or other, as required by the Board of Commissioners) shall be constructed with a minimal number of connections (to the power source), underground streetlight wiring system (wire protected by conduit) including all accessory equipment required for future installation of streetlights (and foundations) by others. Plan for residential lighting and underground wiring system (energizing plan) shall be prepared by the Township Lighting Consultant and presented to the developer upon receipt of the development's underground wiring layout when supplied by the electric service provider (i.e., PP L). Supply of this underground wiring plan to the Township Lighting Consultant is the responsibility of the developer.

(2) All streetlights, where required by the Board of Commissioners, shall have a high-pressure sodium vapor lighting source (pole mounted) which supplies a minimum maintained average footcandle (fc) level of 0.30 footcandle. All lighting and accessory equipment shall be standard equipment as approved by the Township Lighting Consultant or variations as approved by the Board of Commissioners.

(3) Streetlights shall be energized at time of fifty-percent occupancy of the development. All fees for connection and operation of such light shall be the responsibility of the developer until Whitehall Township formally accepts dedication of public improvements. Whitehall Township shall coordinate energizing of the lights in accordance with the approved energizing plan. Request for electrical connection shall only be made by Whitehall Township. Whitehall Township shall pay all associated connection and operation fees for which the developer shall reimburse the Township under rate SLS, on a monthly basis, including appropriate administration fees. This payment arrangement shall continue until such time as formal acceptance of dedication of public improvements, at which time, Whitehall Township shall assume these responsibilities. The developer shall warranty all parts and associated labor for the streetlighting system for the period of time from the date of installation until 18 months from the date of formal acceptance of public improvements by the Township.

(4) Upon completion of streetlight installation, the developer or his designated representative shall notify the Township Lighting Consultant and the Township Engineer, in writing, of completion of lighting facilities. Copy of the Electrical Underwriter's certificate shall also be included with this notification.

(5) All other proposed lighting, such as building lights, general parking areas, sidewalk/walkway/pathway illumination, driveway illumination, signs or other ornamental lighting, shall be shown in sufficient detail on the lighting plan, to allow determination of the effects on adjacent properties, traffic safety, and overhead sky glow.
