Minor modifications or changes in the approved plans and specifications may be effected only upon written approval of the Township Engineer. In the event that a change is not considered minor, then further review and approval of the Planning Board prior to making said change will be necessary.
(3) 
Lands which the approving authority finds to be in areas identified as having severe or moderate soil characteristics, particularly as the lands relate to flooding, improper drainage, wetlands, adverse soil conditions, adverse topography, utility easements or other features which can reasonably be expected to be harmful to the health, safety and general welfare of the present or future inhabitants of the development and/or its surrounding areas, shall not be approved unless adequate and acceptable methods are formulated by the developer to solve the problems by methods meeting Part 3 of this chapter and all other regulations.
B.

Subdivisions that adjoin or include existing streets that do not conform to widths as shown on the Master Plan or Official Map or the street width requirements of Part 3 of this chapter shall dedicate additional width along either one or both sides of said road. If the subdivision is along one side only, 1/2 of the required extra width shall be dedicated. In the case of such 1/2 street, the subdivider shall be required to improve, in accordance with § 245-339, the 1/2 street, including 10 feet on either side of the center line of the street.

Where required by the Township Engineer, a system of porous concrete pipe subsurface drains shall be constructed beneath the surface of the road and connected to a suitable drain. After this subbase material has been properly placed and compacted, the street surfacing material as described heretofore shall be spread thereon.
(6) 
All streets shall be provided with inlet and/or catch basins and pipes where the same may be necessary for proper surface discharge.
