4.
Site Design Guidelines. The following guidelines are divided into eight categories to assist the applicant in the preparation of site and building plans and to assist the Planning Commission and the Zoning Officer in their reviews of all site plans. These guidelines are meant to encourage creativity, innovation and well-designed developments. They apply to principal buildings and structures and to all accessory buildings, structures, signs and other site features.
A.
Relation of Proposed Buildings to the Surrounding Environment. Relate proposed structure(s) harmoniously to the terrain and to existing buildings that have a visual relationship to the proposed structure(s). To achieve this favorable relationship between existing and proposed uses, create focal points with respect to avenues of approach, terrain features or other buildings and relate open space between all existing and proposed buildings.
B.
Drive, Parking and Circulation. For vehicular and pedestrian circulation (including walkways, interior drives and parking) give special attention to the location and number of access points to public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, arrangement of safe and convenient parking areas. Design these vehicular and pedestrian areas to enhance the appearance of and access to the proposed buildings and structures and to the neighboring properties.
C.
Surface Water Drainage. Give special attention to proper site surface drainage to ensure that removal of surface waters will not adversely affect either neighboring properties or the public storm drainage system. Remove and effectively carry away all stormwater from all roofs, canopies and paved areas. Collect surface water from all paved areas to permit vehicular and pedestrian movement. All stormwater plans and design must be in conformance with §§ 801 through 875 of Chapter 22 of this Code of Ordinances.
D.
Utility Service. Place electric and telephone lines underground, where possible. Locate, paint and undertake any other treatment to ensure that any utilities which remain above ground will have a minimal adverse impact on neighboring properties.
E.
Advertising Features. Ensure that the size, location, lighting and materials of all permanent signs and outdoor advertising structures or features will enhance rather than detract from the design of proposed buildings and structures and the neighboring properties.
F.
Special Features. Provide needed setbacks, screen plantings and other screening methods for exposed storage areas, exposed machinery installations, service areas, truck loading areas, utility buildings and structures and similar accessory areas and structures to help make them compatible with the existing or contemplated site design and with neighboring properties.
G.
Preservation of Landscape. Preserve the landscape in its natural state by minimizing tree and soil removal. Ensure that grade changes are compatible with the general appearance of neighboring developed areas.
H.
Solar Energy Use. Consider the desirability and feasibility of active and passive solar energy use. Orient proposed buildings and provide structures to provide for solar energy use and to preserve solar access of adjoining properties.
5.
Environmental Impact Assessment Report.
A.
An environmental impact assessment (EIA) report shall be submitted with any land development plan for any nonmunicipal solid waste-to-energy facility. The EIA report shall contain text, tables, maps and analyses which document at a minimum the items listed below. Before the EIA report is prepared, the applicant shall confer with the Borough Engineer on the content of the report and related mapping including but not limited to:
(1)
Existing site conditions, natural and man-made.
(2)
The proposed land development including, buildings and all other structures, fencing, buffering, paving and other site improvements.
(3)
The proposed ownership, operation and maintenance of the facility.

(5)
Alternatives to the proposal to lessen adverse environmental effects including, but not limited to, revised location, redesign, layout or siting of buildings and other structures; alternative methods for solid and liquid waste disposal and for water supply; reduction in the size of the facility; and/or revised operations, access or road design.
(6)
Measures to mitigate adverse environmental effects using exhibits that depict the mitigative measures at the site, relative to adjoining properties and roads and in the Borough.
(7)
The EIA report shall be prepared by qualified experts including engineers, architects and other experienced professionals pertaining to traffic, air quality and other critical parameters.
(8)
The Borough Council may require any additional information which it determines to be necessary to make a complete evaluation of the proposal.
B.
The EIA report shall address specific environmental aspects of the proposal including, but not limited to:
(1)
Air Emissions and Ambient Concentrations of Pollutants. The quantities of pollutants to be emitted by the facility and the resulting concentrations in the ambient air and dustfall within the Borough and the surrounding communities to a 10 mile radius shall be provided, based on emissions from similar facilities measured during, normal operating conditions, routine start-up and shut-down and upset conditions which require an emergency shut-down. Where emission measurements from comparable facilities are lacking, best engineering judgments shall be used to estimate the emissions. Where ambient monitoring data are lacking, an emission dispersion model approved by the U.S. EPA or PA DER shall be used to calculate ambient air concentrations and dustfall.
(2)
The following chemicals shall be included in the assessment:

(4)
Noise. An estimate shall be made as to the levels of noise which will be produced at the exterior of the facility building, at the property line and at nearby residential and commercial areas, under normal operating conditions, start-up, shutdown and upset requiring an emergency shutdown.
(5)
Visible Emissions. An estimate shall be made as to the conditions and percent of time that visible emissions are likely to be observed and whether these conditions would exceed the PA DER regulations.
(6)
Water Use and Effluents.
(a)
The quantities of water to be consumed per day in the various systems of the facility, including steam loss, boiler blowdown, ash quench tank and wet scrubber (if any), etc., shall be estimated based on measurements on comparable facilities or best engineering judgment where data are lacking. The sources of these water quantities shall be identified.
(b)
The quantities of pollutants to be released in the water effluents from the facility under normal operating and upset conditions, as described above and the nature of the receiving waters shall be estimated, based on experience in comparable facilities or best engineering judgment where data are lacking. The following chemicals shall be included in the assessment:

This program shall meet the requirements of the PA. DER including (or in addition to the PA DER requirements) a set of baseline measurements lasting at least one month prior to the start of construction of the facility, a set of measurements during the check-out and initial start-up of the facility and a set of measurements at least monthly during the first year of facility operation.
(b)
The regular monitoring shall include measurements of dioxins and furans in the emissions and settleable dust and of priority pollutants in the effluents only once during the initial start-up of the facility, and then only annually thereafter.
(8)
Traffic. An estimate shall be made, based on actual traffic counts on the roads leading to the facility, of the number and percent of total traffic and of truck (greater than five tons) traffic to be represented by the trash-hauling and ash-removal trucks required to support the facility under normal operating conditions during typical weekday and Saturday traffic conditions.
(9)
Safety. An estimate shall be made of the safety of the facility under normal and upset conditions in regard to the potential and likelihood of fire, explosion or other emergency conditions which could affect the health and safety of the residents and emergency personnel of the Borough.
(10)
Risk Assessment. An assessment shall be made of the overall risks to human health and safety of the operations of the facility under normal, start-up, shutdown and upset conditions. The risk assessment shall include estimates of the chances that the residents of the Borough will contract illness requiring hospitalization or death, including damage to vital organs and cancer, from exposure to the emissions and effluents from the facility during their lifetimes. The risk assessment shall also include estimates of the increased chances of hospitalization or death due to the traffic and safety hazards determined in Subsections 5B(7) and (8) above. No facility shall be approved which would increase the chances of hospitalization or death to a resident of the municipality by more than one chance in 100,000.
[Ord. 983, 3/4/1992, § 4.9]
