[Ord. #679, S 502]
For purposes of preserving the integrity of the Official Map, no permit shall be issued for any building or structure in the bed of any street or public drainage way, flood control basin or public area reserved pursuant to Section
22-47 of this chapter as shown on the Official Map, or shown on a plat filed pursuant to this chapter before adoption of the Official Map, except as provided herein. Whenever one or more parcels of land, upon which is located the bed of such mapped street or public drainage way, flood control basin or public area reserved pursuant to Section
22-47 hereof, cannot yield a reasonable return to the owner unless a building permit is granted, the Board of Adjustment may, in a specific case, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the full authorized membership of the Board, direct the issuance of a permit for a building or public drainage way or flood control basin or public area reserved pursuant to Section
22-47 hereof, which will as little as practicable increase the cost of opening such street, or tend to cause a minimum change of the Official Map and the Board shall impose reasonable requirements as a condition of granting the permit so as to promote the health, morals, safety and general welfare of the public. Subsections
22-89.4 through
22-89.7 of this chapter shall apply to applications or appeals pursuant to this section.
[Ord. #679, S 503]
No permit for the erection of a building or structure shall
be issued unless the lot abuts a street giving access to such proposed
building or structure. Such street shall have been duly placed on
the Official Map or shall be (a) an existing State, County or municipal
street or highway, or (b) a street shown upon a plat approved by the
Planning Board, or (c) a street on a plat duly filed in the office
of the County Recording Officer prior to the passage of this chapter
or its predecessor or any prior law which required prior approval
of plats by the Borough Council or other authorized body. Before any
such permit shall be issued, such street shall have been certified
to be suitably improved to the satisfaction of the Council, or such
suitable improvement shall have been assured by means of a performance
guarantee, in accordance with standards and specifications for road
improvements approved by the Council, as adequate in respect to the
public health, safety and general welfare of the special circumstances
of the particular street.
[Ord. #679, S 504]
Where the enforcement of Section
22-49 hereof would entail practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, or where the circumstances of the case do not require the building or structure to be related to a street, the Board of Adjustment may upon application or appeal vary the application of Section
22-49 hereof and direct the issuance of a permit subject to conditions that will provide adequate access for firefighting equipment, ambulances and other emergency vehicles necessary for the protection of health and safety and that will protect any future street layout shown on the Official Map or a general circulation plan element of the municipal Master Plan pursuant to Section
22-34, paragraph b4 of this chapter.
Subsections
22-89.4 through
22-89.7 of this chapter shall apply to applications or appeals pursuant to this section.
