The owners of private roadways proposed to be
dedicated to the Borough as public highways shall present a map to
the Council and the Planning Board showing the following:
A. A layout of all streets with grades noted, the location
of concrete monuments as required by the Engineer, catch basins and
drainage provisions, and a profile showing the contour of the land
and proposed final grades of the corner radii and names of the roadways.
B. Width of roadways and location of utilities.
All streets shall be graded, drained and paved
in accordance with the New Jersey State Highway Department Standard
Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, 1961.
A. There shall be installed on every street a three-course
pavement composed of a four-inch dry-bound macadam base course, a
two-inch-thick bituminous concrete binder course and a one-and-one-half-inch
bituminous concrete wearing surface (FABC-1). This pavement shall
be 30 feet wide and have a crown of five inches. All the above thicknesses
are after compaction.
B. There shall be installed a concrete curb six inches
wide by 24 inches high, of a section approved by the Engineer, throughout
both sides of every street. The curbs shall be spaced 30 feet face
to face.
C. The surface left between the back of the curb and
the property line of the street shall be graded from the top of the
curb upward to the property line at the rate of 1/2 inch per
foot. This area shall consist of six inches of topsoil seeded with
rye grass seed.
D. A subsurface drain with a porous wall pipe of a size
approved by the Engineer, in a trench filled with pea gravel, shall
be installed on each side of the roadway 13 feet from the center line
of the street and parallel to the edge of the pavement. The subsurface
drains shall empty into surface drainage structures.
E. A surface drainage system shall be installed, composed
of suitable pipe and drainage structures. Generally, drop inlets shall
be constructed at all street intersections and at intervals of not
over 700 feet. Before any system of drainage is approved, a drainage
study by a licensed professional engineer shall be submitted setting
forth all the information required to properly establish sizes of
pipe and structures.
F. All trees more than three inches in diameter shall
be removed or permitted to remain in the area between the curb and
property line, subject to approval of the Engineer.
The owners of private highways shall be required
to submit a deed of dedication in a form approved by the Borough Attorney
and the Engineer. On receipt of the approvals, the Council may accept
the deed of dedication, provided that it conforms to all specifications
and requirements.
