The streetlight plan recommended by the applicable Board and approved
by the Township Committee may provide for installation and operational start-up
of the streetlight on a phased basis, and observation of the installation
by phases shall be the responsibilities of the Township Engineer, with those
costs charged to the applicant's developer's escrow account established with
their development application.
The applicant for streetlighting on an existing street shall complete
an application providing the pole location for which the streetlight is requested,
the pole number and the basis for requesting the streetlight. The application
shall be received by the Police Department who will determine if a need exists
for streetlighting, as requested, and will submit a report recommending approval
or disapproval. The report will be based upon proximity to other streetlights,
condition and curvature of the road, proximity to other lighted areas, as
well as road condition, traffic considerations and other guidelines pertaining
to the safe operation of motor vehicles. Upon receipt of the Police Department's
recommendation, the Township Committee shall approve or disapprove the application.
The applicant shall be notified of the Township Committee's action within
seven days. If approved, a request to Atlantic Electric Company shall be forwarded
for installation of the approved streetlight or lights.
