[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.
