[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township
of Edgewater Park as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
[Adopted as Title 8, Ch. 8.12, of the 1998 Township Code]
All water collection areas, drainage ponds, or similar water
holes adjacent to residential, commercial and industrial developments
and public streets and roads shall be completely enclosed by a Cyclone
or anchor fence or equal.
A.
Fabric will be aluminum or heavily zinc coated by hot-dip process
after weaving. Fence will be 72 inches with a number-nine-gauge wire
woven in a two-inch chain-link mesh, top and bottom selvages to have
twisted and barbed finish, barbing to be done by cutting wire on the
bias to create sharp points.
B.
Wire pickets of which this fabric is made must stand a tensile strength
test of 80,000 pounds per square inch based on the cross-sectional
area of the galvanized wire.
C.
Line posts will be hot-dip galvanized or aluminum — H-column,
weight 2.72 pounds per linear foot.
D.
End, corner, angle and pull posts will be 2.5 inches O.D., weight
3.65 pounds per linear foot. Gate posts for a single gate from six
feet to 13 feet, or double gate from 12 feet to 26 feet will be four
inches O.D. Single-gate to six feet or double-gate to 12 feet will
need three-inch gate posts.
E.
Posts will be spaced in line of the fence and placed no further than
10 feet apart on centers. Posts will be set 36 inches in concrete
base of proper size and shape as determined by fence manufacturer,
so as to furnish a foundation and support sufficient to withstand
any strain or shock brought to bear on fence of this character.
F.
Fence specifications, as supplied by the manufacturer, must be submitted
to the Township Committee of Edgewater Park or its Engineer for approval
before construction starts.
Where, in the opinion of the Township Committee, there exists additional water collection areas as defined but not previously included in § 244-1, which areas are hazardous to the health, welfare and safety of the residents of the Township, it shall be required that they be completely enclosed by a Cyclone or anchor fence or equal, as otherwise defined in § 244-1.
The requirements of this chapter shall not be enforced during
the actual construction of the residential, commercial and industrial
developments; however, adequate temporary fencing shall be required
during construction.
A.
Where, in the opinion of the Township Committee, there are water
collection areas, which, in the opinion of the Township Engineer,
are constructed in such a way as to have adequate provisions for shallow
water, proper slope, supervision, and other conditions so that they
do not constitute a safety hazard to the health, welfare and safety
of the residents of the Township; and
B.
Where, in the opinion of the Township Committee, the general welfare
of the Township would be enhanced by not having said area or areas
fenced, the Township Committee, in its discretion, may grant to the
owner of the property a permit permitting the water collection area
to be utilized in accordance with specifications as established by
the Township Engineer, reduced to writing and incorporated in a written
agreement between the owner and the Township, which agreement shall
enumerate those specifications and further provide that the owner
or his agents shall indemnify the Township from any and all damage
or personal injury which shall result by virtue of said water collection
area or areas being unfenced. Said agreement shall also require any
additional safeguards for the welfare of the community, as may be
determined by the Township Committee. Said agreement shall be a covenant
running with the land and shall bind the heirs and assigns of the
owner and shall be recorded in the Burlington County Clerk's
office. Said permit shall be automatically revoked upon the owner's
or his assigns' failure, after receiving 10 days' written
notice from the Township Committee, to comply with the terms and covenants
of the agreement and in that event the owner or his assigns shall
immediately be required to comply with the general fencing requirements
of this chapter and shall be subject to the penalties of this chapter
for failure of this chapter to so comply.
