E. Parking area adjacent to street. For multi-family and nonresidential
uses where a parking area or other area open to movement of vehicles
abuts the right-of-way line of a public street, a pipe railing, post
and chain barricade, raised curbs or equally effective devices satisfactory
to the Borough must line the public right-of-way except at access
points so that parked vehicles will not extend into the street right-of-way.
F. All required parking areas and all access drives shall be paved with
concrete or bituminous paving material.
Loading spaces must be arranged so that there will be no need
for motorists to back over public rights-of-way.
Where a use involves exterior lighting, the lighting must be
so located and shielded that no objectionable illumination or glare
is cast upon adjacent properties or so it does not obstruct the vision
of motorists.
Demolition of any structure must be completed within three months
of the issuance of a permit. Completion consists of tearing the structure
down to grade, filling any resulting cavity to grade and removing
all resulting materials from the lot. A structure may be partly demolished
only if a building remains and the demolition of the part is complete
as aforesaid. All evidences of the structure which was demolished
must be removed from the exterior surfaces of the remaining building.

be erected before any pool is filled with water.
For all mobile homes erected and maintained as a single-family
dwelling, the following requirements shall be met:
A. Each mobile
home shall be placed upon and securely fastened by means of a tie-down
system, approved by the manufacturer, to a concrete or bituminous
pad which shall be built upon a frost-free foundation or footer. In
no instance shall a mobile home be placed upon jacks, loose block
or similar arrangements.
