This article shall apply to all applications for development.
The following standards shall be used to prepare and review
any development plan:
A.
Sanitary sewer service. All lots shall be connected to the public
sanitary sewer system for the disposal of sewage. Sewer mains and
lateral connections shall be provided as necessary. The applicant
shall provide proof that the public system has adequate capacity for
the additional discharge anticipated by such development without causing
adverse impacts to such system. The entire sanitary sewer system shall
meet construction specifications as approved by the Borough Engineer.
B.
Water service. All lots shall be connected to the public water system
for the provision of water service. Water mains and lateral connections
shall be provided as necessary. The entire water service system shall
be designed in accordance with the approved standards of the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners or its successor and the Middlesex
Water Company and shall meet construction specifications as approved
by the Borough Engineer. The system shall be designed with adequate
capacity and sustained pressure in a looped system with no dead-end
lines unless such dead-end line services not more than 16 dwelling
units or 2,500 square feet of nonresidential building floor area.
[Amended 9-15-1997 by Ord. No. 97-20]
C.
Electricity, telephone, gas and cable television service. All lots
shall be connected to the public electricity, telephone and cable
television service systems. Provision of gas service is optional.
Connections shall be provided below grade, except that service boxes
may be located above grade. Lots which abut existing streets where
overhead electric or telephone distribution supply lines and service
connections have heretofore been installed may be supplied with electric
and telephone service from these overhead lines, but any new service
connections from the utilities' overhead lines shall be installed
below grade. In the case of existing overhead utilities, however,
should a road widening or an extension of service or other such condition
occur as a result of the development and necessitate the replacement
or relocation of such utilities, such replacement or relocation shall
be underground, if in accordance with the current regulations of the
Board of Public Utility Commissioners or its successor. If located
within a public street right-of-way, said utilities shall be outside
of the cartway except for required crossings. The applicant shall
arrange with the servicing utility for the underground installation
of the utilities' distribution supply lines and service connections
in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Standard Terms
and Conditions incorporated as part of the servicing utility's tariff
and on file with the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utility Commissioners.
In the event that there is any modification in the final placements
or locations of any of the above, the applicant shall be required
to have the development plan amended by the Board.
