1.
The following subdivision and land development principles, standards,
and requirements will be applied by the Borough in evaluating plans
for proposed land development.
2.
The standards and requirements outlined herein shall be considered
minimum standards and requirements for the promotion of the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
[Ord. 899-8, 9/13/1989]
1.
All land subdivision plans must reflect a location which has given
consideration to the following factors:
A.
The location of the land development must conform to the Borough
comprehensive plan, if any, with respect to streets, public sites,
and proposed utilities.
B.
Land shall be subdivided or developed only in conformance with all
other ordinances and regulations in effect in the Borough.
C.
Land subject to hazards of life, health, or property as may arise
from fire, floods, disease, excessive noise, falling aircraft, or
considered uninhabitable for other reasons may not be developed unless
the hazards have been removed or the plans show adequate safeguards
against them.
D.
A land development must be coordinated with existing land development
in the neighborhood so that the entire area may be developed harmoniously.
E.
Subdivision or land developments shall be designated to avoid the
necessity for excessive cut or fill.
F.
All portions of a tract being subdivided or developed shall be taken
up in lots, streets, public lands, or other proposed uses so that
remnants and landlocked areas are not created.
[Ord. 899-8, 9/13/1989]
1.
In all subdivisions, every step should be taken to preserve all natural
and historic features which will add attractiveness and value to the
remainder of the property being subdivided. Some of these features
are large trees or groves of trees, watercourses, historic areas and
structures, exceptional views and similar community assets.
2.
In subdivisions where woods or scattered trees occur in areas to
be developed, a grading plan may be required if the trees are of such
nature and quality that the Borough judges them to be deserving of
preservation. The grading plan must show:
3.
Tree guards during construction and grading as well as limitation
of cuts and fills, both temporary and permanent, near the trees may
be required as necessary to give reasonable assurance of their continued
healthy growth.
[Ord. 899-8, 9/13/1989]
1.
All streets, public and private, proposing to be constructed within
the Borough shall conform to the following general design requirements:
A.
Proposed streets shall be planned with regard to the existing street
system, public convenience in terms of fire protection and pedestrian
traffic, probable volumes of traffic, existing and proposed use of
land on abutting properties and future development extensions of the
street system.
B.
Residential streets shall be so laid out as to discourage through
traffic; however, the arrangement of streets shall provide for continuation
of existing or platted streets and for proper access to adjoining
undeveloped tracts suitable for future development.
C.
Streets shall be logically related to topography so as to produce
reasonable grades, satisfactory drainage and suitable building sites.
D.
The streets must be properly located and built with regard to the
proposed traffic functions, including the minimization of through
traffic on minor streets and the protection of major street capacities
from excessive marginal access.
E.
The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade, and location of
all streets and highways must conform to any applicable Borough Comprehensive
Plan or Official Map.
[Ord. 899-8, 9/13/1989]

the Borough may require the following treatment:
A.
Marginal access streets: access streets between arterial streets
and abutting properties.
B.
Reverse frontage: deep lot fronting on a minor street which backs,
without access, onto an arterial and which is screened from the arterial
by a fence or wall and plantings.

[Ord. 899-8, 9/13/1989]
1.
General Requirements.
A.
Prior to the preliminary approval of subdivision or land development plans (final approval if a minor subdivision or waiver of the preliminary phase), the developer shall prepare a stormwater management plan in accordance with the Borough's Stormwater Management Ordinance [Chapter 23], if such ordinance exists. Otherwise, the stormwater management plan shall be prepared in accordance with criteria established by the Borough Engineer.
B.
The developer shall contact the Borough Engineer prior to the preparation
of a preliminary plan (final plan if a minor subdivision or waiver
of the preliminary phase) to obtain plan requirements, design criteria,
methods, and controls applicable to the particular project.
C.
The following is a listing of control methods which may be utilized.
Techniques not listed may be considered. Various combinations of methods
should be tailored to suit the particular requirements of the project
area:
2.
Lot Drainage. Lots shall be laid out and graded to provide positive
drainage away from new and existing buildings and on-site waste disposal
sites in order to prevent the collection of stormwater in pools. Roof
drainage shall be provided for according to recommendations of the
Borough Engineer or such other officials as may be designated by the
Borough Council. Topsoil shall be preserved and redistributed as cover
and shall be suitably planted with perennial grasses or ground cover.
3.
Nearby Existing Facilities. Where adequate existing storm sewers
are readily accessible, the developer must connect his stormwater
facilities to these existing storm sewers.
4.
Open Drainageways.
A.
When open drainageways are used for the disposal of stormwater, the
Borough shall review the design of such open drainageways in relation
to the following:
(1)
Safety. Steep banks and deep pools shall be avoided.
(2)
Erosion. Adequate measures shall be taken, such as seeding,
sodding, paving, or other measures as necessary, to prevent the erosion
of banks and the scouring of the channel.
(3)
Stagnation. Design of open drainageways shall not create stagnant
pools or swampy areas.
B.
Whenever the evidence available to the Borough indicates that natural
surface drainage is inadequate, the developer shall install storm
sewers, culverts and related facilities, as necessary, to:
(1)
Permit the unimpeded flow of natural watercourses.
(2)
Ensure the drainage of all low points along the line of streets.
(3)
Intercept stormwater runoff along streets at intervals reasonably
related to the extent and grade of the area drained.
(4)
Provide adequate drainage away from on-site sewage disposal
facilities.
C.
Storm drainage facilities must be designed not only to handle the
anticipated peak discharge from the property being subdivided, but
also the anticipated increase in runoff that may occur when all the
property at a higher elevation in the same drainage basin is fully
developed.
5.
Abutting Properties. In the design of storm drainage facilities,
special consideration must be given to preventing excess runoff onto
adjacent developed or undeveloped properties. When a storm drainage
outlet will discharge upon another property, the developer must secure
the approval, in writing, of adjoining affected owners. In no case
may a change be made in the existing topography which would:
A.
Result in a slope of more than 70% within 20 feet of a property line
(height divided by length equals percent of slope) unless an adequate
retaining wall or other structure is provided.
B.
Result in a slope which exceeds the normal angle of slippage of the
material involved. All slopes must be protected against erosion.
7.
Bridges and Culverts. Bridges and culverts shall be designed to meet
current Pennsylvania Department of Transportation/Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection standards to support expected loads and
carry expected flows.

sewers, gas, water and heat mains, and/or other utility lines intended
to service the abutting lots. No structure shall be placed within
such easements. To the fullest extent possible, easements shall be
centered on or adjacent to rear or side lot lines.
2.
Petroleum, Gas, and Electric Transmission Lines.
A.
Where any petroleum, petroleum products, natural gas or electric
transmission line traverses a land development, the developer shall
confer with the applicable transmission or distribution company to
determine the minimum distance which shall be required between each
structure and the center line of such transmission line.
B.
Additionally, the Borough will require, with the preliminary plan
application (final plan application if a minor subdivision), a letter
from the owner of the transmission line stating any conditions on
the use of the tract and the right-of-way width or a copy of the recorded
agreement which shall contain the above data.
3.
Underground Utilities. Electric, telephone, and all other utility
facilities shall be installed underground unless special conditions
require otherwise.
[Ord. 899-8, 9/13/1989]
1.
