A.
No building shall hereafter be used, erected, altered, converted, enlarged, added to, moved or reduced, wholly or in part, nor shall any land be designed, used or physically altered for any purpose or in any manner except in conformity with this Part 2.

(1)
So as not to impair any of the requirements of this Part 2 with respect to the existing building and all yard and other open space in connection therewith;
(2)
So that all resulting lots have adequate dimensions consistent with
the requirements of the zoning district in which they are located;
and
(3)
So that all lots have frontage on a street.
B.
Minor modifications or changes in approved plans and specifications
may be effected only upon written approval of the Board Engineer,
but some changes may require further review and approval of the Planning
Board prior to making any changes.
C.
Any application for development shall demonstrate conformance to
design standards that will encourage sound development patterns within
the Township. Where either an Official Map and/or Master Plan has
been adopted, the development shall conform to the proposals and conditions
shown thereon. The streets, school sites, etc., shown on the officially
adopted Master Plan shall be considered in the approval of plats.
In accordance with good design practices, extreme deviations from
rectangular lot shapes and straight lot lines shall not be allowed
unless made necessary by special topographical conditions or other
special conditions acceptable to the approving authority. All improvements
shall be installed and connected with existing facilities or installed
in required locations to enable future connections with approved systems
or contemplated systems and shall be adequate to handle all present
and probable future development.
D.
Land which the approving authority finds to be in areas identified in the Master Plan as having severe or moderate soil characteristics, particularly as the land relates to flooding, improper drainage, wetlands, adverse soil conditions, adverse topography, utility easements or other features which can reasonably be expected to be harmful to the health, safety and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the development and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be subdivided, and site plans shall not be approved unless adequate and acceptable methods are formulated by the developer to solve the problems by methods meeting the standards in this Part 2 and all other regulations.
E.
Whenever a development abuts or crosses a municipal boundary, access
to those lots within the Township shall be from within the Township
as the general rule. Whenever access to a development is required
across land in an adjoining community as the exception, the approving
authority may require documentation that such access is legally established
and that the access road is adequately improved.
F.
No subdivision or site plan approval may be given unless each lot
contained in the subdivision or site plan complies with all the requirements
of the zone which the lot is located, unless a variance is subsequently
granted.

A.
Application. Open space cluster (OSC) planned development requirements may be applied in accordance with the provisions of this section to modify bulk and area requirements specified in the P-BR Residence District of this Part 2.
B.
Minimum area. The minimum total area of a tract to be developed as
an OSC shall be 25 acres. Such area to be so developed shall be as
a single entity or under unified control.
C.
General procedures. Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, development proposals in accordance with this section shall only be approved by the Planning Board as regulated herein if the appropriate findings in accordance with § 170-46 for planned developments have been made and the proposal is in compliance with the applicable requirements of Part 4, Subdivision, and Part 3, Site Plans. Further, nothing contained in this section shall relieve the owner or his agent or the developer of an open space cluster from receiving subdivision plat approval in accordance with Part 4, Subdivision.
D.
Maximum number of OSC lots.
(1)
The maximum number of OSC lots to be permitted shall be determined
by dividing the net acreage of a tract, after exclusion of both environmentally
constrained areas and a factor of 15% of the area remaining after
deduction of said environmental features, by the minimum lot area
of the residential district in which the development is located. Environmentally
constrained areas shall include areas designated as national wetlands,
water bodies and flood hazard areas. Detailed soil engineering and
geotechnical test data undertaken in accordance with acceptable engineering
standards and practices may be submitted by an applicant if he seeks
amendment of the boundary limits which define such environmentally
constrained areas.
(2)
In computing the maximum number of lots that may be created, any
lands occupied by public utility easements or otherwise encumbered
to the extent that would be considered unbuildable shall not be considered
as a lot in the preparation of the sketch plat.
E.
Area reductions permitted. In an OSC, single lots for single-family detached dwelling units may be reduced in size as stipulated in Table A, Open Space Cluster Lot Requirements, provided that reduction from a basic lot size of 3/4 acre to 20,000 square feet shall only be considered if public water and/or public sewer is available. Lot size may be reduced to less than 3/4 acre, provided that the average percolation rate in four test holes is greater than 10 minutes per inch but less than 25 minutes per inch for both; the disposal area, which shall be constructed and made operational upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy, and a reserve area sized according to the average percolation of four test holes of the reserve area. Such reserve area may be in the front or rear of the property and subject to conditions for use of reserve areas set forth in other portions of this Part 2. Requests for any such reduction in lot size are subject to approval by the Board of Health. The number of individual building lots created shall be no greater than if the tract were developed as a conventional subdivision and the lots were not reduced in size. The permitted floor area ratio and maximum improvement coverage shall remain the same as if the lot were not reduced in size. Further, lot areas may be reduced, provided that the land which would otherwise be required for residential lots, but which is not so used under the permitted lot area reduction provisions of this subsection, shall be devoted to common open space.
