Architectural screening of any mechanical equipment
on the roof or outside of any building shall be installed so as to
screen the mechanical equipment from view. "Architectural screening,"
for purposes of this provision, shall be deemed to mean the use of
the metal, stone or other relatively maintenance-free material in
the slats or other design so as to screen and prevent the direct view
of the mechanical equipment. The term "mechanical equipment" includes
any fans, air-conditioning equipment, compressors, heating equipment
and any other equipment of any kind.
The site plan shall show the location, specifications and height of any fencing required under any ordinance of the Borough of Paramus and of any other fencing proposed by the applicant. The Planning Board may require additional fencing for reasons of traffic or pedestrian safety in connection with the particular problems associated with the property under consideration and its proposed use. The height of any fencing shall be not greater than six feet nor less than 2 1/2 feet, except that fences up to 10 feet in height may be permitted or required by the Planning Board where determined to be needed. The Planning Board may require fencing between the site and any property in any residential zone and, in addition, in any area on the lot where the addition of a fence would serve the purposes and objectives set forth in Article
V or this chapter.
All traffic markers, traffic signs, traffic
signals and traffic control devices on all sites in any business zone
and all sites in all zones other than one-family and two-family residential
use shall be constructed, erected, delineated and maintained in accordance
with the standards, regulations and requirements set forth in the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prepared by the United States
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (1971),
as the same now exists and as the same may from time to time be interpreted
and amended. Copies of this publication are in file in the office
of the Traffic Bureau of the Police Department.
Prior to the granting of final approval, the
developer shall have arranged with all serving utilities, including,
without limitation, electric, gas and telephone utilities, for the

standard terms and conditions incorporated as a part of its tariff
as the same are then on file with the State of New Jersey Board of
Public Utility Commissioners and shall submit to the Planning Board
prior to the granting of final approval a written instrument from
each serving utility which shall evidence full compliance with the
provisions of this subsection; provided, however, that the Planning
Board in its sole discretion may permit developments on lots which
abut existing streets where overhead utility distribution supply lines
have theretofore been installed on any part thereof to be supplied
with electric and telephone service from such overhead lines or extensions
thereof, but in such event the service connections from such overhead
lines shall be installed underground.
All public improvements, including streets,
curbs, sidewalks, sewer and water and drainage facilities on public
roads or easements, required to be installed or constructed by the
developer in accord with the resolution approving the site plan and
the developer's agreement shall be completed within the time specified
by the Planning Board; provided, however, that the Planning Board
may extend the time for the completion of such improvements for good
cause shown and subject to the filing of a new performance bond, if
necessary, based upon updated reports by the Borough Engineer and
the Board of Shade Tree and Parks Commissioners.
All improvements listed in §§
371-29 through
371-39 shall be subject to inspection and approval by the Borough Engineer, who shall be notified by the developer at least 24 hours prior to the start of construction. No underground installation shall be covered until inspected and approved. Inspection and approval of shade trees ad landscaping shall be by the Board of the Shade Tree and Parks Commissioners.
A certificate of occupancy shall be issued only when the installation of curbs, utilities, functioning water supply and sewage treatment facilities, necessary storm drainage to ensure proper drainage of the lot and surrounding land, rough grading of lots, soil stabilization and base course for the street and driveway are installed to serve the lot and structure for which the certificate is requested. It is permissible that streets and other paved areas not receive surface course paving until all heavy construction is completed. Shade trees shall not be planted until all grading and earth moving is completed. Seeding grass areas shall be the final operation. Any uncompleted site improvements shall be subject to performance and maintenance guaranty requirements as specified in Article
