The plats of a subdivision shall substantially conform to the
principles and standards enumerated in this chapter. If there is a
discrepancy between any of the minimum standards or dimensions noted
in this chapter and a standard or dimension contained in the Uniform
Construction Code, or any other official regulation, the highest standard
shall apply. All construction shall comply with all applicable codes.
Blocks shall ordinarily not exceed 1,000 feet in length. Where
it is necessary for blocks to exceed such length, pedestrianways and/or
easements may be required near the center of the block.
The placement of structures on a lot shall be as specified or
permitted in the Zoning Code.
Sewer and utility easements shall be required at a minimum width
of 15 feet. Where a subdivision is, or will be, traversed by a watercourse,
there shall be provided a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way
of a width sufficient for the purpose, but no less than 20 feet.
Erosion control facilities shall be designed and constructed
in accordance with the Borough's Standards for Construction, the U.S. Soil Conservation Service's Standards and
Specifications, or equivalent standards.
