All new development in the Township of Monroe
which shall consist of a residential development of three or more
homes is required to integrate with the municipal water system.
All newly constructed businesses (commercial/industrial),

[Amended 11-14-2006 by Ord. No. O-47-2006]
A. In those specific areas within the Township where
well water can be the only source of water, the homeowner may qualify
as a hardship case. If in the event that a homeowner can demonstrate
said hardship, construction may commence only upon it being demonstrated
that a point of entry activated carbon filtering system would meet
the needs of the entire home or facility. The homeowner will be required
to obtain an inspection and certificate verifying the adequacy of
said system by a qualified entity prior to the issuance of a certificate
of occupancy.
B. For the purposes of this section, a homeowner shall
be defined as an individual not a corporate or commercial entity who
maintains a legal residence on said principal lot for a minimum period
of one year prior to a subdivision. Upon the granting of a subdivision
and the hardship herein, the homeowner shall be required to maintain
the principal lot as his or her legal residence for a period of at
least one year after the granting of a subdivision and the hardship
herein.
C. The provisions of this section entitled "Hardship" shall only apply to a homeowner who is creating a subdivision of three or more homes. A hardship is not to be defined as an economic hardship. Be it further noted that the hardship provision shall not be applicable to §
272-4.
The requirements set forth herein, shall be
applied prospectively to all new development and shall not be applicable
to all developments/businesses with prior approvals.
