[Added 10-23-2013 by Ord. No. 13-09-1452]
No building or part of a building or premises shall be used, altered or erected which is arranged, intended or designed to be used, in whole or in part, for any purpose, except one-family residential townhouse dwellings, as defined in § 275-3 of the Borough Code.
The following regulations shall apply to the TR2 Zone:
A.
A site plan shall be submitted and approved as required in Chapter 218 of the Borough Code. With specific regard to townhouse units, in addition to all required conditions of that chapter, said plan shall show that all standards established herein for townhouse units will be complied with.
B.
Height. No structure containing a townhouse unit shall exceed a mean
height of 35 feet. "Mean roof height" shall be defined as the average
of the roof eave height and the height to the highest point on the
roof surface, except that eave height shall be used for roof angle
of less than or equal to 10º (0.18 rad).
D.
Density. The gross density for any development in the TR2 Zone shall
not exceed 13 townhouse units per acre of privately owned land. The
maximum number of units permitted for any project shall be determined
by multiplying the total area of the tract in acres, exclusive of
any abutting public streets, by 13. Any fractional number of units
shall be treated as one unit.
E.
Minimum tract size. No tract, parcel or lot shall be developed as
a townhouse district unless it shall contain a minimum area of 130,000
square feet of adjoining and contiguous land, provided that it shall
have sufficient access to an approved street. For the purposes of
this section, internal streets, parking areas and rights-of-way shall
not be deemed to divide the acreage of a townhouse district.
F.
Distance between buildings. No structure containing a townhouse unit/units
shall be permitted closer to another structure containing a townhouse
unit than 66 feet, front to front, 44 feet, rear to rear (exclusive
of decks and/or patios), except that the minimum rear yard distance
between buildings shall be 44 feet, exclusive of decks and/or patios.
G.
Landscaping. A landscaping plan shall be submitted and be subject
to review and approval by the Planning Board at the same time as the
site plan. The landscaping plan will show in detail the location,
size and type of all plantings, including lawns, to be used on the
site. All areas not used for buildings or off-street parking shall
be included in the landscaped plan. All parking and service areas
shall be screened so that said areas are shielded from residential
areas adjacent to the site. Wherever possible, as deemed by the Planning
Board, existing woodlands shall be left intact and added to the landscaping
scheme.
H.
Lighting. Yard lighting shall be provided during the hours of darkness
to provide illumination for the premises and all interior sidewalks,
walkways and parking areas thereon. All wiring shall be laid underground,
and all lighting fixtures shall be arranged so that the direct source
of light is not visible from any residential areas adjacent to the
site.
I.
Utilities. Every unit must be connected to the public sanitary sewer
and water systems as approved by the Borough Engineer.
J.
Driveways and roads. All driveways within the project shall be at
least 10 feet wide for one-car garages and at least 20 feet wide for
two-car garages. Private roads shall be at least 26 feet wide and
shall be constructed by the developer in accordance with the requirements
of Subchapter 4 of the New Jersey Residential Site Improvement Standards
("RSIS") and subject to approval by the Planning Board. Frontage shall
be permitted on a private and approved street. All roads dedicated
to the Borough shall be subject to all municipal ordinances as well
as the laws of the State of New Jersey.
K.
Master deed. The developer shall furnish to the Borough as a condition
of site plan approval such guaranties, covenants, master deed or builder's
agreement which shall satisfy the requirements of the Planning Board
for the construction and maintenance of all roads, driveways, common
areas, landscaping, recreational areas, public improvements and buildings.
L.
Number and length of townhouses. The number of townhouse dwellings
in any attached group of such dwellings shall be no more than six
townhouse dwellings, and the length of any such attached group of
townhouse dwellings shall not exceed 150 feet. The group of townhouse
dwellings shall be designed with variations in the building setback
of each townhouse dwelling in accordance with sound architectural
and engineering standards to provide an aesthetically pleasing construction.
M.
Impact statement.
(2)
As far as the traffic impact is concerned, the Planning Board
shall require entrances and exits to the site at locations and widths
that will minimize traffic congestion and result in the best vehicular
and pedestrian circulation pattern both on and abutting the site.
The Planning Board may require the applicant to submit a traffic engineering
study prepared by a licensed professional traffic engineer which will
indicate the impact that the development of the site will have on
surrounding roads. This traffic study shall include the following
elements:
N.
Building coverage. Not more than 35% of the total tract area shall
be covered by any above-grade buildings or structures.
O.
Total impervious coverage. Not more than 65% of the total tract area
shall be covered by any impervious material, including but not limited
to buildings, structures, driveways, parking areas, patios, walkways,
game areas such as tennis courts, swimming pools, and the like.
P.
Parking. Off-street parking spaces for each dwelling unit shall be
provided as set forth under RSIS. In addition, visitor parking shall
be reasonably distributed throughout the site.
Q.
Garage. A private attached one- or two-car garage shall be incorporated
into the design of each townhouse dwelling as part of such building
structure.
R.
Common elements. When any designated common elements are to be retained
by the developer, the developer shall be required to file easements,
covenants or other documents, as determined by the Planning Board,
to ensure the intended use and function and arrange for the maintenance
of such areas.
T.

areas must be provided:
