It is recognized that in certain instances preexisting conditions
or the uniqueness of a particular proposal may require the waiver
of some of the standards set forth in this chapter. The Planning Board
may consider, and for cause shown may waive, strict conformity with
such of these detailed design standards as it deems fit. Any applicant
desiring such action shall present with his or her application for
the site plan or subdivision a list of all such waivers desired, together
with reasons supporting the requested waivers.
Block length and width or acreage within bounding streets shall
be such as to accommodate the size of lot required in the area by
this chapter, and to provide for convenient access, circulation, control
and safety of the street traffic.
Lot dimensions and area shall not be less than the requirements
of this chapter and shall in all respects comply with this chapter.
For all site plans, subdivisions and new construction, the applicant
shall arrange with the applicable utility companies for underground
installation of the utilities (including but not limited to electric,
telephone and cable service), distribution supply lines and service
connections. No aboveground utility installation shall be permitted.
Any generator installed outdoors shall be located within the building
envelope, with any utility platform not more than six (6) inches from
the principal structure, and shall not be considered an accessory
structure. A generator located outdoors shall be screened with lattice,
open board fence, shrubbery or plantings which allow the circulation
of air and dispersal of fumes. All generators shall be equipped with
sound attenuation devices to reduce the sound produced by the generator.
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Revised General Ordinances
of the Borough of Mantoloking to the contrary, for the purposes of
this section a generator shall be able to be operated to a maximum
of sixty-five (65) decibels (dBA) based upon the manufacturers specifications.
See N.J.A.C. 5:21-4.12 (underground wiring) and N.J.A.C. 5:21-5.1
et seq. (water supply system).
In all site plans and subdivisions all lots shall be covered
with a suitable stabilizing ground cover as approved by the Borough
Engineer. Suitable ground cover includes both topsoil and seeding
as well as the use of indigenous sand and indigenous plantings. This
requirement shall not apply to critical areas. No lawn, vegetative
ground cover or densely planted shrubbery shall be permitted within
ten (10) feet of any bulkhead or of the mean high water line.
In the residential and business zones, there shall be provided
off-street parking spaces in accordance with the following requirements:

and maintained in accordance with the following requirements:
(1) Off-street
parking areas shall be oriented to, and within a reasonable walking
distance of, the buildings they are designed to serve.
(2) Access
to parking lots shall be designed so as not to induce queues on travel
ways and to provide adequate pedestrian circulation and safety. There
shall be adequate provision for ingress to and egress from all parking
spaces to ensure ease of mobility, ample clearance, and safety of
vehicles and pedestrians. The width of all aisles providing direct
access to individual parking stalls shall be in accordance with the
requirements specified below. Only one (1) way traffic shall be permitted

"side to side." For the purpose of off-street parking, screening shall
be no less than five (5) feet in width and at least eight (8) feet
in height. The Zoning Officer shall encourage the use of native species
of vegetation which require less fertilization and watering than non-native
species.
(6) No
off-street parking or part thereof for four (4) or more vehicles shall
be closer than ten (10) feet to any dwelling located on the adjoining
lot, and no closer than five (5) feet to any side yard lot line.

30-35, Surface water management, of this chapter.
(8) Any
lighting used to illuminate any off-street parking shall be arranged
in accordance with a lighting plan to be submitted for review to the
Borough Engineer and designed so as to reflect the light away from
adjoining streets and abutting improved property.
(9) Parking
spaces shall be located at least seven (7) feet from the edge of pavement
or three (3) feet from the edge of a sidewalk, whichever is greater.
(10) Driveways
shall be no closer than twenty-five (25) feet from any roadway intersection,
measured from the point where the two (2) edges of pavement or curb

dwelling with no more than two (2) bedrooms; two (2) spaces for each

under use.)
At the intersection of two (2) streets, there shall not be erected
or caused to be maintained any hedge, fence, foliage or wall higher
than thirty (30) inches above the higher crown of the two (2) roads
on any lot within the area formed by two (2) right-of-way lines bounding
the lot or the projection of such lines and by a line connecting the
point on each street line twenty-five (25) feet from the intersection
of the street lines. In the case of development or redevelopment of
any corner lot subsequent to the adoption of this chapter, the issuance
of a Zoning Permit shall be conditioned upon the grant of a site triangle
easement from the owner to the Borough. Sight triangle easements shall
include the area on each street corner that is bounded by the line
which connects the sight or connecting points located on each of the
right-of-way lines of the intersecting street twenty-five (25) feet
from the point of intersection of the street lines. The planting of
trees or other plantings, or the location of structures exceeding
thirty (30) inches in height that would obstruct the clear sight across
the area of the easements, shall be prohibited, and a public right-of-entry
shall be reserved for the purpose of removing any object, material
or otherwise, that obstructs the clear sight.
Applicants shall obtain a Soil Erosion and Sediment Control
(SESC) Certification from the Ocean County Soil Conservation District
Office, when required, and shall submit a copy of the certification
and certified plan to the Borough Zoning Officer prior to the disturbance
of any land.
