(1)
All applications for preliminary or final approval

The submission of a concept plan will not be considered as a formal application but rather will serve as a basis for discussion so that the Planning Board may provide informal guidance to the developer in the preparation of his application for preliminary approval. Neither the developer nor the Planning Board shall be bound by the review of any concept plan. The developer shall pay the concept plan application fee and escrow deposit in accordance with § 74-57 of this Code.

disposal, air quality, noise considerations, traffic, fire protection,
police protection, emergency health services or impact upon the community.

is to ensure that adequate fire protection facilities are provided

(1)
Where public or private central water supply is available
and has been approved by the Township of Andover, fire hydrants shall
be installed to provide a source of water for fire fighting. Where
public or private central water supply is not available, for subdivisions
in the residential zone districts, underground water storage tanks
shall be located and installed so that no tank is farther than 1,000
feet from another tank or any principal structure. This measurement
will be taken along the finished road surface. At least one tank shall
be installed for each 1,000 linear feet of street length or fraction
thereof. Each tank shall be located within the public right-of-way
or an easement acceptable to the Township of Andover. For site plans,
underground water tanks shall be located and installed in the adjacent
road right-of-way or within an easement acceptable to be dedicated
to the Township. All tanks must have paved access within seven linear
feet of their suction point. A permanent sign, approved by the Andover
Township Engineer, shall be installed at every tank location to show
the existence and capacity of such tank. In addition, "No Stopping
or Standing" zones shall be delineated at each tank location for a
distance of 75 feet in each direction from such tank on both sides
of the street. Such delineation shall be appropriately identified
by signs meeting New Jersey Department of Transportation design standards.
(2)
The minimum capacity of every underground storage
tank within residential zone districts with homes of 4,000 square
feet or less shall be 10,000 gallons. Homes over 4,000 square feet
will require larger size tanks to be installed. Tank capacities for
nonresidential developments shall be based on the degree of hazard
of the proposed structures to be protected but shall not be less than
10,000 gallons. The locations of all fire protection systems shall
be approved by the Andover Township Fire Department. Unless an equivalent
alternate fire protection system is authorized by the Planning Board
and approved by the Andover Township Fire Department, underground
water storage tanks will be provided and shall be constructed and
installed as follows: all underground water storage tanks shall be
(minimum) single-walled fiberglass construction. The top of the tank
must be at least 42 inches (minimum) below finished grade and tank
must be set in pea gravel, 12 inches (minimum) on top, bottom and
sides, and shall have the following features:
(a)
One flange with six-inch draw tube.
(b)
One eight-inch flange.
(c)
One four-inch flange
(d)
Six-inch Dry Hydrant NST Female Connection.

This water supply is intended solely for minimal "first
attack" storage.
(5)
In all cases where a fire protection system is required,
no certificate of occupancy shall be issued for a dwelling or principal
structure upon any lot within the subdivision or site plan until,
to the extent necessary to afford fire protection to such dwelling
or principal structure, such system is installed and its operability
tested and approved by the Andover Township Engineer.
(6)
The type of cistern detail shall be obtained from
Andover Township.
(7)
The hydrants, tank size and design and location shall
be reviewed and approved by the Township Engineer and the Chief of
the Fire Department.
(8)
Any subdivisions with preliminary approval prior to
February 2003 shall be exempt from these requirements.
F.
Recreation and open space requirements for all residential
developments.
[Added 9-8-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-14]
(1)
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to insure
that adequate open space and recreational facilities are provided
for all residential developments. In lieu of providing the facilities
on site, the open space and recreation may be provided in centralized
locations within the Township in order to provide recreational opportunities
to residents of the Township for any residential development receiving
preliminary major subdivision approval, to ensure that the dollar
equivalent value of providing such facilities within the subdivision

The contribution may be in kind if acceptable to the Township of Andover as determined in a developer's agreement between the applicant and the Township Committee.
(4)
Administration standards and guidelines.
(a)
The developer may, at its option, make a proposal to the Planning Board, offering either to acquire other lands within the municipality and improve same with active recreational facilities or, in lieu thereof, to donate to the Township of Andover, for such purposes, funds in an amount calculated pursuant to Subsection F(3), above, said funds to be placed in an escrow account for that purpose, which amount shall be determined by considering the fair market value of the land required to be dedicated to such use, together with the cost of improvements required and/or proposed thereon together with the projected costs of operation and maintenance of the land and those improvements.

In reviewing a proposal by a developer pursuant
to the provisions thereof, the Planning Board shall consult with the
Andover Township Committee, which shall make, within 35 days of the

Waiver of map filing requirement; filing by deed.
(1)
Where an application has been acted upon by the Planning
Board as a major subdivision, because the subdivision in question

reviewing major subdivisions, shall have the right, when simultaneous

of the review required and the expenditures by the Township in connection
therewith. The reviewing body shall set forth its reasons for any
waiver of fees as part of a resolution passed in connection with the
