No permit for the erection of any building shall be issued unless the
building lot abuts a street, as defined in N.J.S.A. 40:55-1.39, or said lot
abuts on a street which has been certified by the Township Committee as suitably
improved in accordance with this article.
No street shall be certified to be suitably improved pursuant to said
statute unless said street is constructed in accordance with the specifications
of the Street Acceptance Ordinance of the Township of Hampton and any amendments
thereto. Any new streets certified pursuant to this article shall have
a right-of-way in conformance with the Street Acceptance Ordinance of the
Township of Hampton and any amendments thereto. Upon hearing, the Township
Committee may permit the improvement or reconstruction of existing streets
or roads with less than the required right-of-way if it shall be deemed by
the Township Committee that strict conformance with the Street Acceptance
Ordinance cannot be adhered to by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness
or shape of a specific piece of property, or by reason of exceptional topographic
conditions, or by reason of other extraordinary and exceptional situations
or conditions of such piece of property, and would result in peculiar and
exceptional practical difficulties to or exceptional and undue hardship upon
the owner of such property.
