There shall be adequate provision for ingress
and egress to all parking spaces. One-way access openings shall be
not less than five feet wider than the traffic aisle served by such
driveway but in no event less than 17 feet wide. Two-way access drives
shall be not less than 25 feet wide. All entrances and exits shall

50 feet to the street lot lines of any two intersecting streets.
[Amended 7-9-1984]
The site plan shall indicate buffer strips and
planting strips as required by this chapter and the Zoning Ordinance. In the event the Planning Board shall determine that additional
buffer strips or planting strips are required to protect public areas
or neighboring properties from adverse effects of the proposed building
or addition, the Board may require such additional buffer or planting
strips. The Shade Tree Commission may recommend landscaping and foundation
planting which will ensure the attractiveness of premises subject
to this chapter and the protection of soil thereon. The Planning Board
shall approve the landscaping proposed by the applicant in accordance
with such recommendations.
Provision shall be made for the safe and adequate
drainage of the surface runoff waters in and from the premises so
that flooding and erosion of the property and the property of others
will be prevented. Unless otherwise provided by the Planning Board,
drainage facilities shall be in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection,
Chapter 232, Laws of 1975, commonly known as the "90-Day Construction
Act," which requires as a basis for design the one-hundred-year
storm frequency.
Provision shall be made for the protective and
covering fencing and screening of such portions of the property as
the Planning Board, upon recommendation of the Shade Tree Commission,
may deem necessary for the safety and welfare of those persons most
likely to be exposed to the property.
Provision shall be made for the indoor or enclosed
storage of garbage and refuse.
The lighting of the building, the property and
all signs on the property shall be such as not to produce any glare
at the exterior lot lines of the premises. The traffic circulation
patterns shall be such as to eliminate, at the exterior lot lines,
glare from the lights of automobiles on the property.
Provisions shall be made for the elimination
of all offensive noise, vibration or other pollution to the general
public emanating from the use of the property.
Pavement shall be of asphalt, bituminous or
cement pavement and shall be adequate in size and location to direct
surface water runoff away from neighboring properties and toward approved
drainage systems. Concrete curbs shall be provided around all parking
areas.
Retaining walls shall be designed to be safe
and adequate for the purpose intended.
Provision shall be made in accordance with applicable
regulations of all boards and bodies with jurisdiction over the collection
and disposal of sewage. No site plan approval may be granted until
the Board of Health has certified that a sanitary system has been
designed to its satisfaction.
Sidewalks shall be provided where needed to
protect the safety of pedestrians.
Outside storage, when permitted, shall only
be permitted in areas approved by the Board. Such areas shall, as
nearly as may be practicable, be shielded from public view and protected
by adequate fencing or screening.
