1.
The following principles, standards, and requirements will be applied
by the Board of Commissioners and Planning Commission in their review
and evaluation of all subdivision and land development plan applications.
2.
The standards and requirements contained herein shall be considered
the minimum for the promotion of the public health, safety, convenience,
and general welfare.
3.
Where literal compliance with the standards and requirements contained herein is clearly impractical, the Board of Commissioners may modify or waive such through the modification of requirements process set forth in Part 15 of this Chapter.
4.
Subdivision and land development plans shall be given due consideration
to Official Plans of the Township of Susquehanna, Dauphin County region,
or to such parts thereof as may be adopted pursuant to statute.
5.
Proposed land uses shall conform to the Susquehanna Township Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 27), as amended.
6.
Land subject to hazards to life, health, or property, such as may
arise from fire, flood, disease, or other causes, shall not be planned
for development purposes unless such hazards have been eliminated
or unless the plan shall show adequate safeguards against them, which
shall be approved by the Township and/or appropriate regulatory agencies.
7.
Whenever a subdivision or land development plat or plan is submitted
which sets forth new streets or other ways of ingress and egress,
two separate points of ingress to and egress from the land affected
must be designated thereon. Such points of ingress and egress must
be designed and built to conform to the rules and regulations of Susquehanna
Township for public streets. An applicant may request a waiver of
this requirement and shall in support thereof, present evidence that
due to topography, site distance, wetlands, environmental constraints,
configuration of land, distance between intersections or other factors,
it is impractical to have a second way of ingress and egress. Upon
due consideration of these factors, the Board of Commissioners, in
their sole discretion, may grant the waiver.
[Amended 6/11/2009 by Ord. 09-04]
1.
General Standards.
A.
Proposed streets shall be properly related to such street plans or
parts thereof as have been officially adopted by Susquehanna Township
and shall be coordinated with existing or proposed streets in adjoining
subdivisions or land developments. Further, proposed streets shall
be properly related to county, regional or State transportation plans
as have been prepared and adopted as prescribed by law.
B.
Streets shall be laid out to preserve the integrity of their design.
Local access streets shall be laid out to discourage their use by
through traffic and, where possible, collector and arterial streets
shall be designed for use by through traffic.
C.
Streets shall be related to the topography so as to establish lots
and satisfactory street grades.
D.
Proposed street arrangements shall make provisions for continuation
of existing streets in adjoining areas; the proper projection of streets
into adjoining undeveloped or unplanned areas; and the continuation
of proposed streets to the boundaries of the tract being subdivided.
E.
New half or partial streets shall be prohibited except where essential
to reasonable subdivision of a tract in conformance with the other
requirements and standards of these regulations and where, in addition,
satisfactory assurance for dedication of the remaining part of the
street can be obtained; a cul-de-sac shall be constructed at the end
of such half street which shall be of a permanent nature, unless a
temporary cul-de-sac is approved.
F.
Names of new streets shall not duplicate existing or planned street
names, or approximate such names by the use of suffixes such as streets,
cognizance should be given to existing or planned street names within
the postal delivery district served by the local post office. New
streets shall bear the same name or number of any continuation of
alignment with an existing or planned street.
G.
Insofar as possible, streets on which structures are proposed to
front shall be oriented along an east-west axis with maximum deviations
permitted up to 25°, provided that such orientations are feasible
based on soil and slope conditions and are a practical means of providing
safe and convenient access and circulation.
H.
Proposed private streets (streets not offered for dedication) are
prohibited, unless they meet the design standards of these regulations.
I.
Streets in and bordering a subdivision and or land development plan
shall be coordinated with, and be of such widths and grades and at
such locations so as to accommodate prospective traffic and facilitate
fire and police protection.
2.
Street Classification. Three functional classifications of streets
and roads, as classified in the Susquehanna Township Comprehensive
Plan, Chapter Six, are established as follows:
A.
Arterial. This classification includes highways which provide intra-county
or intermunicipal traffic substantial volumes. Generally, these highways
should accommodate operating speeds of 55 miles per hour.
B.
Collector. This classification is intended to include those highways
which connect minor streets to arterial highways and serve as traffic
corridors connecting residential areas with industrial, shopping and
other services. They may penetrate residential areas. Generally, these
highways will accommodate operating speeds of 35 to 45 miles per hour.
C.
Minor. This classification is intended to include streets and roads
that provide direct access to abutting land and connections to higher
classes of roadways. Traffic volumes will be low and travel distance
generally short. These streets and roads should be designed for operating
speeds of 25 miles per hour or under.
D.
Where a lot has more than one side of street frontage and there is
a driveway on one side, if it is necessary to determine which side
of the lot fronts for purposes of this Chapter, the lot shall be considered
to front on the street on which the driveway exists. In all other
cases, the lot shall be considered to front on the street which the
lot has the greatest frontages. If the lot frontage and driveway are
not determinative, the lot shall be considered to front on the predominant
street bordering the lot.
3.
4.
Cul-de-Sac or Dead-End Streets.
A.
Dead-end streets are prohibited unless designed as cul-de-sac streets
or designed for future access to adjoining properties.
B.
Any dead-end street, for access to any adjoining property or because
of authorized phase development, shall be provided with a temporary,
all weather turn-around within the subdivision or/and land development;
and the use of such turn-around shall be guaranteed to the public
until such time as the street is extended. The maximum length of a
street and cul-de-sac shall be no more than 800 feet. At a minimum
the all-weather turn-around shall be constructed of six inches of
compacted 2A stone.
C.
Temporary turnarounds or culs-de-sac that are anticipated to be in
place, or that are in fact in place, for longer than 18 months shall
be fully paved to Township standards for the respective street classification.
D.
Cul-de-sac streets serving residential uses, permanently designed
as such, shall not exceed 800 feet in length and shall not furnish
access to more than 24 dwelling units.
E.
Cul-de-sac streets serving commercial and/or industrial uses shall
be adequate for the type of use to be serviced as approved by the
Municipal Engineer but, in no case, shall exceed 800 feet in length.

A.
Private driveways on corner lots shall be located at least 40 feet
from the point of intersection of the nearest street right-of-way
lines.
B.
In order to provide safe and convenient means of access, grades on
private driveways shall be so designed to allow for the unimpeded
flow of stormwater runoff. In addition, driveways must be stabilized
to their full width to prevent erosion. Entrances should be rounded
at a minimum radius of five feet, or should have a flare construction
that is equivalent to the radius at the point of intersection with
the cartways edge (curbline), except for residential driveways serving
no more than two residences. (Refer to Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation, Guidelines for Design of Local Roads and Streets,
Publication No. 70, as revised.)
C.
All driveways shall be located, designed and constructed in such
a manner as not to interfere or be inconsistent with the design, maintenance
and drainage of streets or the safe and convenient passage of traffic.
D.
No driveway, private driveway, or access drive shall serve more than
six residential units. A parking lot may serve more than six residential
units; however, any parking lot that serves more than 24 residential
units shall have a minimum of two points of access to a street. The
two points of access must, at a minimum, conform to the aisle width
requirements for the parking area.
E.
No shared driveways shall be approved except where governed by a
recorded shared driveway agreement at a minimum setting forth maintenance
requirement, snow removal obligations, decision-making in the driveway
and funding of the same.
6.

area, the grade of which shall not exceed 5% within 60 feet of the
intersection of the nearest right-of-way lines.
E.
Intersections with major streets shall be located not less than 800
feet apart, measured from center line to center line, along the center
line of the major street.
F.
At intersections of streets the curb or edge of pavement radii shall
not be less than the following:
|
Intersection
|
Minimum Simple Curve Radii of Curb or Edge of Pavement
| |
|---|---|---|

NOTE: Radius corners or diagonal cutoffs must be
provided on the property lines substantially concentric with or parallel
to the chord of the curb radius corners.
|
8.
Intersection Sight Distance and Clear Sight Triangles. Adequate sight
distances and areas of unobstructed view shall be provided at all
intersections of streets, and for driveways intersecting a street,
in accordance with Exhibit VI.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Exhibit VI is included as an attachment to
this Chapter.

Access Roads and Drives.
A.
Direct access from residential lots to an arterial street shall be
avoided whenever possible. Where such direct access cannot be avoided,
adequate turnaround space shall be provided behind the right-of-way
line.
B.
A valid highway occupancy permit shall be obtained from the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation. Driveways serving single-family residences
shall intersect streets at angles of no less than 60°. All other
driveways or access roads shall intersect streets at right angles,
where possible, and in no instance shall such intersection be less
than 75°.
C.
The width of access roads or driveways shall be in accordance with
the following standards:
(1)
For multifamily residential, mobile home parks, and all nonresidential
developments or subdivisions, access roads shall be no less than 22
feet in width at the street line, and shall clearly be defined by
the use of curbing.
(2)
For single-family residential subdivisions, driveways shall
be no less than 10 feet in width and no greater than 20 feet in width
at the street line.
D.
In order to provide for safe and convenient ingress and egress points,
access roads and driveway entrances shall be rounded at the following
minimum radius.
1.
Easements shall be provided for drainage facilities, overhead or
underground public utility facilities in consultation with the Municipal
Engineer, the electrical utility companies, the Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation, and the telephone utility companies.
2.
Where a subdivision and/or land development is traversed by a watercourse,
drainageways, channel or stream, there shall be provided a drainage
easement, width to be determined by the Municipal Engineer, conforming
substantially with the line of such watercourse, drainageways, unimpeded
flow of natural drainage or for the purpose of widening, deepening,
relocating, improving or protecting such drainage facilities or for
the purpose of installing a stormwater sewer. Under no circumstances
shall the easement be less than 25 feet and shall extend outward from
the top of bank of a channel or berm of any basin.
3.
Where a subdivision or land development involves the use of solar
access, solar sky space easements will be provided, shall be in writing,
and shall be subject to the same conveyance and instrument recording
requirements as other easements. Any such easements shall be appurtenant;
shall run with the land benefited and burdened; and shall be defined
and limited by conditions stated in the instrument of conveyance.
Instruments creating a solar sky space easement shall include but
not limited to:
A.
A permanently identifiable description of the sky space above the
burdened land into which trees, buildings and/or other obstructions
as specified by the easement shall not be permitted to encroach;
B.
Any terms or conditions under which the solar sky space easement
is granted or will be terminated; and
C.
Any provisions for compensation by the owner of the land benefiting
from the land benefiting from the solar sky space easement, or compensation
of the owner of the land burdened by the solar sky space for maintaining
the easement.
1.
The length, width, shape, and design of blocks shall be determined
with due regard to the provision of adequate sites for buildings of
the type proposed, to the land use and/or zoning requirements of the
Township, the topography of the land being subdivided or developed,
and the requirements for safe and convenient vehicular and pedestrian
circulation.
2.
Blocks shall not exceed 1,600 feet in length, nor be less than 600
feet in length. Where practical, blocks along collector or arterial
streets shall not be less than 1,000 feet in length.
3.
Residential blocks shall generally be of sufficient depth to accommodate
two tiers of lots, except where reverse frontage lots bordering an
arterial or collector street are used or, where due to the contour
of the land or the necessary layout of the subdivision, there is insufficient
depth between intersecting streets for such two tier design.
4.
Blocks for commercial and industrial areas may vary from the elements
of design contained in this Section if the nature of the use requires
other treatment. In such cases, off-street parking for employees and
customers shall be provided along with safe and convenient limited
access to the street system. Space for off-street loading shall also
be provided with limited access to the street system. Extension of
streets, railroad access rights-of-way, and utilities shall be provided
as necessary.
5.
Crosswalks or interior pedestrian walks shall be required in blocks
exceeding 1,000 feet in length to provide for pedestrian circulation
or access to community facilities. Such walks shall be stabilized
for a width of not less than four feet, shall be located in easements
not less than 10 feet in width, and shall, insofar as possible, be
located in the center of any such block.
1.
General Standards.
A.
The size, depth, width and orientation of lots shall conform to applicable
zoning regulations of Susquehanna Township.
B.
Side lot lines shall, in so far as practical, run from due north
to south where the resulting angle of incidence with the street is
not less than 30°. A variation of up to 25° east or west of
the north/south axis is permitted.
C.
Where feasible, lot lines should follow municipal boundaries rather
than cross them, in order to avoid jurisdictional problems.
2.
Lot Frontage.
A.
All lots shall abut a public street existing or proposed, or a private
street if it meets the requirements of these regulations.
B.
Double or reverse frontage lots shall be avoided except where required
to provide separation of residential development from major streets
or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography or orientation.
C.
No residential lots shall be created which front upon a limited access
highway. Furthermore, no major subdivision and/or land developments
shall be created which front upon an arterial street.
3.
Building Setbacks.
A.
Corner lots shall have extra width as required by the Susquehanna Township Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 27), as amended.
B.
Side and rear building setbacks shall conform to the Susquehanna Township Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 27), as amended.
C.
Front building setbacks shall conform to the Susquehanna Township Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 27), as amended.
D.
Buildings shall be oriented such that their longest axis faces within
25° of true south whenever lot size, street orientation, soil
and slope conditions make this practical.
Lighting shall be required in subdivisions and land developments.
These lighting requirements provide appropriate standards to ensure
adequate nighttime safety and security while minimizing the spillover
of light and glare on operators of motor vehicles, pedestrians and
land uses near the light source. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes
that proper lighting design is an instrument for preserving rural
character or creating a sense of place within developments. However,
it is the safety, welfare, nuisance and hazardous aspects of lighting
that form the basis of these regulations.
A.
Requirements. Exterior lighting shall be provided in parking areas,
pedestrian sidewalks and walkways and nonresidential driveway intersections
in accordance with the following standards. Lighting used for security
purposes shall also conform to the following standards. These regulations
permit an option of providing a lower light post for luminaries with
a no-cutoff design or a higher pole, up to 60 feet, for luminaries
that totally cut off light spillover at a cutoff angle smaller than
90°. The maximum height light post permitted shall be dependent
upon the amount of cutoff provided. Exterior lighting shall meet one
of the following standards:
(1)

Exemption for Specified Uses.
(a)
Because of their unique requirements for nighttime visibility
and their limited hours of operation, public and private recreational
uses such as ball diamonds, playing fields, tennis courts and volleyball
courts are exempt from the above requirements.
(b)
Outdoor public and private recreational uses specified above
shall not exceed a maximum permitted post height of 80 feet.
(c)
Outdoor public and private recreational uses may exceed a total
cutoff angle of 90°, provided that the luminaire is shielded to
prevent light and glare spillover to adjacent residential uses. The
maximum permitted illumination at the interior buffer yard line shall
not exceed two footcandles.
(d)
Low-level pedestrian lighting for sidewalks should be provided
as necessary for safety. Low-level sidewalk illumination for nonresidential
uses shall be between 0.5 to 0.10 footcandles. Low-level sidewalk
illumination for residential uses shall be between 0.2 to 0.13 footcandles.
(5)
Additional requirements.
(a)
Flickering or flashing lights shall not be permitted.
(b)
Light sources or luminaires shall not be located within buffer
yard areas except for pedestrian walkways.
(c)
The location and type of lighting required by this Section shall
be shown on the site plan submitted for development.
(d)
Low-level pedestrian lighting for sidewalks should be provided
as necessary for safety. Low-level sidewalk illumination for nonresidential
uses shall be between 0.5 to 1.0 footcandles. Low-level sidewalk illumination
for residential uses shall be between 0.2 and 0.3 footcandles.
(6)
Exterior lighting, except for overhead streetlighting and warning,
emergency, or traffic signals, shall be installed in such a manner
that the light source will be sufficiently obscured to prevent glare
on public streets and walkways or into any residential area. The installation
or erection of any lighting which may be confused with warning signals,
emergency signals or traffic signals shall be unlawful. Any lighting
that produces glare shall not cause illumination in excess of five-tenths
footcandles measured at the property line.
(a)
Measurement. Lighting levels shall be measured in footcandles.
Measurement shall be taken with a direct reading portable light meter
or light-reading equipment recommended by the Township Engineer.
(b)
Method. Readings shall be taken by qualified personnel so that
the light-reading meter has been exposed long enough to provide a
constant reading. Measurements shall be made after dark with the light
sources in question on, then with the same sources off. The difference
between the two readings shall be compared to the maximum permitted
illumination at the property line at ground level. This procedure
eliminates the effects of moonlight and other ambient light.
