All land defined herein as having steep slopes shall be subject to the following regulations:
A. 
Intent. It is the intent of this section to control the development of land in areas containing excessive topography for the following purposes:
(1) 
To limit erosion and sedimentation;
(2) 
To protect watersheds and limit increases in stormwater runoff;
(3) 
To prevent an increase in the possibilities of landslides and soil subsidence;
(4) 
To maintain adequate foliage cover on hillsides; and
(5) 
To protect streams from increases in sediment pollution.
B. 
Permitted uses. Steep slopes may be used as permitted by the district regulations within which they are located, subject to the additional requirements below.
C. 
Principles of development. Wherever possible, structures and grading of land shall only be located on portions of a lot where the slope is less than 25%, as herein defined. However, where it is necessary to use steep slopes to permit development of a lot, all such proposals shall, in addition to other applicable regulations of this chapter, be in accordance with the following principles of development. All development on steep slopes shall:
(1) 
Be oriented so that grading and other site preparations are kept to an absolute minimum;
(2) 
Where grading is essential, shape such grading to complement the natural land form;
(3) 
Be staged where necessary to complete construction of each stage during a season so that large areas of disturbed land are not left bare and exposed during the winter-spring runoff period;
(4) 
Accomplish all paving as rapidly as possible after grading;
(5) 
Allocate to open space and recreation uses those areas least suited to development, as evidenced by competent soils, geology, and hydrology investigations;
(6) 
Landscape areas around structures to blend them with the natural landscape; and
(7) 
Take measures to minimize erosion and sedimentation and to limit increases in stormwater runoff in accordance with other ordinances and regulations of this municipality and the laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
D. 
Site plan. All applications for zoning permits for lots, uses, and structures located, in whole or in part, on land with steep slopes shall submit, along with the application, a site plan as required by Article X of this chapter. Such application shall also include a stormwater management plan in accordance with Chapter 253, Stormwater Management, and a copy of the erosion and sedimentation control plan as required by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
The outdoor storage of materials shall be subject to the following requirements:
A. 
All outdoor storage of fuel, raw materials, and products, except finished products for retail sale to the public, in any Commercial District, Industrial District, or Village Residential District, shall be completely screened from view from any public right-of-way and Residential District by a sight-obscuring evergreen planting, fence, or wall;
B.

The illumination of any lot, use, or structure shall be arranged in such a manner that the direct rays of the light source shall not enter any dwelling unit or fall within the right-of-way of any public street or highway.
Unless otherwise regulated by this chapter, any vacant portion of a lot not in use shall be planted with grass or similar vegetation, and/or trees and shrubs, except for farm uses and gardens left vacant outside the growing season.
Every building hereafter erected or moved shall be on a lot adjacent to a public street or with motor vehicular access to a public street via a private street. The intent of the following regulations is to provide safe and convenient access for servicing, fire protection, traffic circulation, and required off-street parking.
A.

B. 
No driveway shall be closer to the side or rear property line than five feet, unless the two adjoining property owners mutually agree to a common driveway. A written agreement, approved by the municipal solicitor and zoning officer and acceptable to be recorded by the Recorder of Deeds, must be submitted with the application for zoning permit.
C. 
Driveways which provide access to all uses other than detached and semidetached dwellings shall have a throat width of not less than 12 feet or greater than 24 feet, and the curb return radius shall not be less than 13 feet or greater than 15 feet.
D. 
In the R-3, C-1, and LI Districts, all driveways shall enter a public street right-of-way at least 100 feet from the intersection with another public street. In all other districts, all driveways shall enter a public street right-of-way at least 50 feet from its intersection with another public street of any classification. If the lot width is insufficient to provide for the required distance, access shall be as far from the intersection as the lot and other provisions of this chapter will permit. For all cases above, the distance in which access is prohibited shall be measured from the tangent of the curb return of the intersection street cartway to the tangent of the curb return of the driveway, but shall not include, in measurements, any portion of either curb return.
E. 
If two or more driveways of the same lot enter a public street right-of-way, the distance between the entrances of the driveways shall be at least 50 feet.
Off-street parking and loading space shall be provided and maintained for each use and structure hereafter established, erected, altered, or extended in accordance with the provisions of this section.

It is the purpose of this section to allow surface mining and its related processing procedures, in Rural Districts by conditional use.
A. 
Criteria for special exception. Use of land for surface mining in the Rural Districts shall be permitted as a conditional use, provided the Zoning Hearing Board determines in each instance that the proposed location will offer reasonable protection to the neighborhood in which the mining operation will occur against possible detrimental effects of the surface mining operations, taking into consideration the physical relationship of the proposed mining site to surrounding properties and permitted land uses, access to the site from public roads, streets and other public rights-of-way that must be traveled in removing minerals from the site, and the effect of tile mining operations on the public water supply. In granting a use permit under this provision, the Borough Council may impose such conditions upon the location of the mining operation as are shown to be necessary and appropriate to protect the public health, safety and welfare. No permit granted under this provision shall be valid unless the mine operator also has secured a valid permit to conduct surface mining operations from appropriate state and federal agency having regulatory authority over the conduct of surface mining operations.
(1) 
The Borough Council shall forward one copy of all applications for a conditional use for surface mining to the Loganton Borough Planning Commission immediately upon receipt for review and comment by that agency on all aspects of the application as they relate to the purposes and requirements of this chapter. The Loganton Borough Planning Commission shall prepare a report on the application within 30 days of the receipt of the application, which report shall be presented to the Borough Council by an authorized representative of the Planning Commission during the public hearing held on the application for conditional use. Copies of the report shall be made available to any party of the proceeding before the Board at a reasonable cost for duplication or reproduction.
B. 
Application. Application for a conditional use permit from the Borough Council shall include a duplicate copy of the application which the applicant made to Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in accordance with the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act, 52 P.S. § 1396.1 et seq.; and the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act, 52 P.S. § 3301 et seq., as amended.
C. 
Limitations. No surface mining shall be conducted closer than 100 feet of any public right-of-way or within 300 feet of any property line.
D. 
Fencing. A six-foot fence that completely encloses the portion of the property that includes the open pit area, high wall, water pool, or spoil bank and culm bank (as those terms are defined in the coal or Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Acts) shall be provided and shall be constructed as to have openings no larger than six inches, and if pickets are used, the openings shall not exceed six inches.[1]
