This article shall apply to all applications for development.
The following standards shall be used to prepare and review any development plan that involves the construction of a new street or repair of an existing street:
A. 
Lot access. All lots shall have frontage on and driveway access to a public street, except that lots in PURDs may have access from a private street, if specifically approved by the Board, pursuant to § 110-141 below. In no instance shall access to a nonresidential use be permitted through or across a lot located in a residential district.
B. 
Construction and repair specifications. All streets shall meet the construction specifications as set forth in applicable Borough ordinances or as approved by the Borough Engineer. This shall also apply to recommendations by the Borough Engineer regarding the maintenance, repair or upgrading of existing streets located in that portion of the public right-of-way that directly abuts the lot to be developed.
C. 
Street layout. Streets shall be designed to provide for motor vehicle traffic circulation that is safe, controllable, efficient and convenient. The layout of streets shall be planned to continue the street system pattern of the surrounding neighborhood and shall provide for the extension of existing streets, where applicable. Streets shall be located so as to discourage through traffic within residential neighborhoods. The location of streets shall be such as to provide for the extension of existing streets, where applicable.
D. 
Culs-de-sac. Where one end of a street terminates in a dead-end, a cul-de-sac shall be provided. The maximum length of a street ending in a cul-de-sac shall be 600 feet from the nearest intersection. A vehicular turnaround shall be provided at the terminus of the cul-de-sac with a minimum radius of 40 feet at the curbline. For public streets, an additional ten-foot-wide utility and planting strip shall be provided around the entire cul-de-sac for a minimum total right-of-way radius of 50 feet.
E. 
Street names and address numbers. A street name shall not conflict with or be mistaken for an existing street name in the Borough unless the street is a logical extension of an existing street. All street names, whether for a public or private street, shall be approved by resolution of the Borough Council. The street address numbering system shall be as approved by the Borough Clerk.
F. 
Street name signs. Street name signs shall be placed at all street intersections within or abutting the development. The type, style and location of such signs shall be as approved by the Borough Engineer.
All public streets shall be located in a public right-of-way dedicated to the Borough having a minimum width of 50 feet, unless another width is specifically recommended in an adopted element of the Master Plan or on the adopted Official Map or Tax Map of the Borough. Developments that adjoin or include existing public streets which do not conform to the above required right-of-way widths shall dedicate the required additional width along one or both sides of said street. If development is proposed along one side of the street only, then 1/2 of the required extra width shall be dedicated. The approval of any map or plat delineating streets by the governing body of the Borough shall in no way be construed as an acceptance of any street indicated thereon.
Where approved as part of a PURD, private streets may be permitted by the Board with the following conditions:
A. 
Design standards. The design of a private street shall meet all other applicable design standards of this article for a public street.
B. 
Access control. A development plan involving access to a private street shall not be approved unless the control and disposal of said land controlling access has been placed with the Borough or unless a protective deed restriction has been approved by the Board.
C. 
Maintenance. The applicant shall establish, prior to final approval or as a condition thereof, an entity responsible for maintaining such private street for which the Board shall require a developer's agreement. This agreement shall include the Borough's right to enter the premises to make repairs and/or conduct other necessary maintenance. The cost for such repairs and/or maintenance by the Borough shall be paid by the property owner(s) and shall include all legal, administrative, clerical, planning, engineering, repair and maintenance costs associated with such work.
