In addition to the following requirements, in the Pinelands Area the applicant must comply with the Pinelands Area standards contained in §
233-83 of this chapter. In the event of a conflict between a Township-wide standard and a Pinelands Area standard, application of the Township standard shall in no way prevent adherence to Pinelands standards.
A. Minor streets shall be so designed as to discourage
through traffic.
B. Residential development bounded by an arterial or
collector street shall control access to said streets by having all
driveways intersect minor streets. Where circumstance(s) may dictate
that a driveway enter an arterial or collector street, the lot shall
provide on-site turnaround facilities, and abutting lots may be required
to use one curb cut. All lots with reverse frontage shall have an
additional 25 feet of lot depth to provide a buffer area which shall
be either maintained in its natural state with supplemental plantings,
if required by the Planning Board, planted with nursery-grown trees,
or, where topography permits, earthen berms may be created. Berms
shall not be less than five feet in height, shall be stabilized by
ground cover and be planted with evergreens and deciduous trees according
to a landscaping plan.
C. Right-of-way width, cartway width and curbing.

at any one point by more than 10º and not more than 45º,
they shall be connected by a curve with a radius of not less than
100 feet for minor streets and 300 feet for arterial and collector
streets.
I. All changes in grade shall be connected by vertical
curves of sufficient radius to provide a smooth transition and proper
sight distance.
J. The maximum length of a cul-de-sac street shall not
exceed 600 feet in length unless topography or other unusual circumstance
prevents such compliance. If a cul-de-sac does exceed the six-hundred-foot
requirement, then additional turnaround areas and fire hydrants shall
be provided to ensure maximum ease of vehicular movement and safety.
In no event shall the cul-de-sac exceed 1,200 feet.
K. The minimum radius of a cul-de-sac turnaround shall
be 50 for the cartway and 60 feet for the right-of-way.
