A.
The following subdivision and land development principles,
standards and requirements will be applied by the Borough in evaluating
plans for proposed land developments.
B.
The standards and requirements outlined herein shall
be considered minimum standards and requirements for the promotion
of the public health, safety, and general welfare.
All land development plans must reflect a location
which has given consideration to the following factors:
A.
The location of the land development must conform
to the Borough Comprehensive Plan, if any, with respect to streets,
public sites and proposed utilities.
B.
Land shall be subdivided or developed only in conformance
with all other ordinances and regulations in effect in the Borough.
C.
Land subject to hazards of life, health, or property
as may arise from fire, floods, disease, excessive noise, or falling
aircraft, or considered uninhabitable for other reasons may not be
developed unless the hazards have been removed or the plans show adequate
safeguards against them.
D.
A land development must be coordinated with existing
land development in the neighborhood so that the entire area may be
developed harmoniously.
E.
Subdivisions or land developments shall be designed
to avoid the necessity for excessive cut or fill.
F.
All portions of a parcel being subdivided or developed
shall be taken up in lots, streets, public lands or other proposed
uses so that remnants and landlocked areas are not created.
In the layout of any land development:
A.
Borough officials strongly urge that every step be
taken to preserve all natural and historic features which will add
attractiveness and value to the property. Some of these features are
large trees or groves of trees, watercourses, scenic views, historic
areas and structures, and similar community assets and landmarks.
B.
Land subject to hazards to life, health or property
and land deemed to be topographically unsuitable shall not be planned
for residential occupancy or for such other uses as may increase danger
to health, life or property or aggravate erosion or other hazards
until all such hazards have been eliminated or unless adequate safeguards
against such hazards are provided by the land development plans. Such
land within the development shall be set aside on the plan for uses
as shall not be endangered by periodic or occasional inundation or
shall not produce unsatisfactory living conditions.
All streets, public and private, proposed to
be constructed within the Borough shall conform to the following general
design requirements:
A.
Proposed streets shall be planned with regard to the
existing street system, public convenience in terms of fire protection
and pedestrian traffic, probable volumes of traffic, existing and
proposed use of land on abutting properties and future extensions
of the street system.
B.
Residential streets shall be so laid out as to discourage
through traffic; however, the arrangement of streets shall provide
for continuation of existing or platted streets and for proper access
to adjoining undeveloped tracts suitable for future development.
C.
Streets shall be logically related to topography so
as to produce reasonable grades, satisfactory drainage and suitable
building sites.
D.
The streets must be properly located and built with
regard to the proposed traffic functions, including the minimization
of through traffic on minor streets and the protection of major street
capacities from excessive marginal access.
E.
The arrangement, character, extent, width, grade,
and location of all streets and highways must conform to any applicable
Borough Comprehensive Plan or Official Map.
Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing
or proposed arterial, the Borough may require the following treatment:
A.
Marginal access streets: access streets between arterial
streets and abutting properties.
B.
Reverse-frontage: deep lot fronting on a minor street
which backs, without access, onto an arterial and which is screened
from the arterial by a fence or wall and plantings.
C.
Rear service drive: deep lot with additional building
setback and vehicular service drive in the rear.
D.
Such other treatment as may be necessary for protection
of residential properties and protection of the capacity of arterial
streets from excessive marginal access.
A.
Width. Minimum widths for all streets shall be as
follows:
|

Exceptions to width requirements. Provisions for additional
right-of-way and roadway width may be required to accommodate such
items as, but not limited to, turn lanes or other auxiliary pavement
additions, when determined by the Street Design Standards[1] of this chapter and the traffic impact study to be necessary.
[Amended 4-4-2006 by Ord. No. 2-2006]
[1]
Editor's Note: Street Design Standards are
included at the end of this chapter.
C.
Existing frontage along a street of improper right-of-way or roadway width. In the case of a plan for a land development fronting on an existing public road of improper right-of-way width, the developer shall provide any required dedication of land for widening the existing right-of-way to meet the minimum right-of-way standard as specified in Subsection A of this section. The right-of-way to be dedicated must be measured from the center line of the existing roadway. Where uncertainty exists as to the road classification, it shall be as specified in the Borough Comprehensive Plan. In addition, when the development fronts on an existing public road of improper roadway width, the developer shall improve the roadway to meet the minimum roadway standard as specified in Subsection A of this section. In the case of a minor subdivision, the Borough may require the payment of a fee to be placed in an escrow fund to finance its construction at a future date in lieu of requiring such improvements at the time of subdivision.
[Amended 4-4-2006 by Ord. No. 2-2006]
D.
Dead-end streets shall be prohibited, except when
designed as temporary cul-de-sac streets by the developer on his own
land in order to permit future street extensions into adjoining tracts.
These temporary dead-end streets must be approved by the Borough and
indicated on the plans. Also, they must be constructed to the same
standards as permanent culs-de-sac, minus the curbing requirements
at the terminus of the cul-de-sac. The turnaround is to be removed
by the developer when extending the existing street.

B.
Placement and marking. Monuments and markers must
be placed by a registered surveyor so that the scored or marked point
coincides exactly with the point of intersection of the lines being
monumented. They must be set so that the top of the monument or marker
is level with the surface of the surrounding ground. Monuments must
be marked on top with a copper or brass dowel.
E.
Removal. Any monuments or markers that are removed
must be replaced by a registered surveyor at the expense of the person
removing them.
