Architectural screening of any mechanical equipment on the roof
or outside of any building shall be installed so as to screen the
mechanical equipment from view. "Architectural screening," for purposes
of this provision, shall be deemed to mean the use of the metal, stone
or other relatively maintenance-free material in the slats or other
design so as to screen and prevent the direct view of the mechanical
equipment. The term "mechanical equipment" includes any fans, air-conditioning
equipment, compressors, heating equipment and any other equipment
of any kind.
The site plan shall show the location, specifications and height of any fencing required under any ordinance of the Township of Fredon and of any other fencing proposed by the applicant. The Land Use Board may require additional fencing for reasons of traffic or pedestrian safety in connection with the particular problems associated with the property under consideration and its proposed use. The height of any fencing shall be not greater than six feet nor less than 2 1/2 feet, except that fences up to 10 feet in height may be permitted or required by the Land Use Board where determined to be needed. The Land Use Board may require fencing between the site and any property in any residential zone and, in addition, in any area on the lot where the addition of a fence would serve the purposes and objectives set forth in Article
VI of this chapter.
All traffic markers, traffic signs, traffic signals and traffic
control devices on all sites in any business zone and all sites in
all zones other than one-family residential use shall be constructed,
erected, delineated and maintained in accordance with the standards,
regulations and requirements set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices prepared by the United States Department of Transportation,
Federal Highway Administration (1971), as the same now exists and
as the same may from time to time be interpreted and amended.
Prior to the granting of final approval, the developer shall
have arranged with all serving utilities, including, without limitation,
electric, gas and telephone utilities, 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 a part of its tariff as the same are
then on file with the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utility
Commissioners and shall submit to the Land Use Board prior to the
granting of final approval a written instrument from each serving
utility which shall evidence full compliance with the provisions of
this subsection; provided, however, that the Land Use Board, in its
sole discretion, may permit developments on lots which abut existing
streets where overhead utility distribution supply lines have theretofore
been installed on any part thereof to be supplied with electric and
telephone service from such overhead lines or extensions thereof,
but in such event the service connections from such overhead lines
shall be installed underground.
The Township Engineer shall notify the Land Use Board as to
its recommendations on street trees, stating in detail the number
and type of trees and shrubbery required for said property. Said plantings
shall thereafter be done solely by an independent contractor engaged
by the Township for that purpose and shall not be done by the developer.
A planting easement shall be provided by the developer of up to 10
feet from the street line, where necessary to allow a planting strip
of a minimum of 20 feet from the street curb face.
No application for site plan approval shall be deemed complete
in the absence of proof that a plan for soil erosion and sedimentation
control has been submitted to the relevant reviewing authority, pursuant
to the requirements of N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq., or proof that such
a plan is not required by the statute for the particular application.
If the reviewing authority has failed to grant or deny certification
of the erosion plan at the time of preliminary approval of the applicant's
site plan, preliminary approval shall be conditioned on certification
of applicant's erosion plan.
All public improvements, including streets, curbs, sidewalks,
sewer and water and drainage facilities on public roads or easements,
required to be installed or constructed by the developer in accordance
with the resolution approving the site plan and the developer's
agreement, shall be completed within the time specified by the Land
Use Board; provided, however, that the Land Use Board may extend the
time for the completion of such improvements for good cause shown
and subject to the filing of a new performance bond, if necessary,
based upon updated reports by the Township Engineer.
All improvements installed or constructed in accordance with
this article shall be subject to inspection and approval by the Township
Engineer, who shall be notified by the developer at least 72 hours
prior to the start of construction. No underground installation shall
be covered until inspected and approved.
No bond release shall be issued on any construction commenced as a result of receiving final site plan approval until the Township Engineer shall certify to the Land Use Board that all required improvements have been completed, and the performance guarantee, hereinbefore requested, shall have been posted with the Township Committee. Upon submission to the Land Use Board that the performance guarantee has been posted with the Township Committee, and upon receipt of the certification by the Township Engineer that all required improvements have been completed, the Land Use Board shall so certify to the Construction Official that a certificate of completion may be issued upon completion of the structures in accordance with the requirements of Chapter
200, Construction Codes, Uniform.
