The subdivider shall observe the following requirements and principles of land subdivision in the design of each subdivision or portion thereof.
[1991 Code § 185-16]
A subdivision plat shall conform to design standards that will encourage good development patterns within the Borough. Where either or both an Official Map or Master Plan has or have been adopted, the subdivision shall conform to the proposals and conditions shown thereon. The streets, drainage rights-of-way, school sites, public parks and playgrounds shown on an officially adopted Master Plan or Official Map shall be considered in approval of subdivision plats. Where no Master Plan or Official Map exists, streets and drainage rights-of-way shall be shown on the final plat in accordance with N.J.S. 40:55D-38 through 40:55D-41 and 40:55D-44 and shall be such as to lend themselves to the harmonious development of the Borough and enhance the public welfare in accordance with the following design standards.
[1991 Code § 185-17]
A. 
The arrangements of streets not shown on the Master Plan or Official Map shall be such as to provide for the appropriate extension of existing streets.
B. 
Streets shall be so designed as to discourage through traffic.
C. 
Subdivisions that adjoin or include existing streets that do not conform to widths as shown on the Master Plan or Official Map or to the street width requirements of this chapter shall dedicate additional width along either one or both sides of the road. If the subdivision is along one side only, 1/2 of the required extra width shall be dedicated.
D. 
The right-of-way width shall be measured from lot line to lot line and shall not be less than 50 feet.

No subdivision showing reserve strips controlling access to streets shall be approved except where the control and disposal of land comprising such strips has been placed with the Borough Council under conditions approved by the Planning Board.
F. 
No street shall have a minimum grade of less than 1/2% of 1%.
G. 
Street intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as is possible, and in no case shall they be less than 60°. The block corners at intersections shall be rounded at the curbline with a curve having a radius of not less than 20 feet.
H. 
Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than 125 feet shall be prohibited.
I. 
A tangent at least 100 feet long shall be introduced between reverse curves on streets.
J. 
When connecting street lines deflect from each other at any one point by more than 10° and not more than 45°, they shall be connected by a curve.
K. 
All changes in grade shall be connected by vertical curves of sufficient radius to provide a smooth transition and proper sight distance.
L. 
Dead-End Streets.
(1) 
Dead-end streets (culs-de-sac) shall not be longer than 600 feet and shall provide a turnaround at the end with a radius of not less than 60 feet and tangent whenever possible to the right side of the street.
(2) 
If a dead-end street is of a temporary nature, a similar turnaround shall be provided and provisions made for future extension of the street and reversion of the excess right-of-way to the adjoining properties.

[1991 Code § 185-18]

Block length and width or acreage within bounding roads shall be such as to accommodate the size of the lot required in the area as hereinafter stated and to provide for convenient access, circulation control and safety of street traffic.

In blocks over 1,000 feet long, pedestrian crosswalks may be required in locations deemed necessary by the Planning Board. The walkway shall be 10 feet wide and be straight from street to street.
C. 
For commercial, group housing or industrial use, block size shall be sufficient to meet all area and yard requirements for such use.
[1991 Code § 185-19]
A. 
Lots in subdivisions shall have a minimum frontage of 75 feet and a minimum area of 10,000 square feet.

Insofar as is practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight streets and radial to curved streets.
C. 
Each lot must front upon an approved street at least 50 feet in width.
D. 
Where extra width has been dedicated for the widening of existing streets, lots shall begin at such extra width line, and all setbacks shall be measured from such line.
E. 
Where there is a question as to the suitability of a lot or lots for their intended use due to factors such as rock formations, flood conditions or similar circumstances, the Planning Board may, after adequate investigation, withhold approval of such lots.
[1991 Code § 185-20]
A. 
In large-scale development, easements along rear property lines or elsewhere for utility installation may be required. The easements shall be at least 15 feet wide and be located in consultation with the companies or municipal departments concerned.

Natural features such as trees, brooks, hilltops and views shall be preserved whenever possible in designing any subdivision containing such features.

Each multi-family complex shall also provide bins in a convenient location or locations in a common area as drop-offs for storing recyclables in addition to other solid waste until collection occurs. The holding area shall provide for truck access and loading and shall be suitably screened from view and set back from property lines.

Each application for a nonresidential use which utilizes 1,000 square feet or more of land must include provisions for the collection, disposition and recycling of recyclable materials.
