[Added 12-3-1998 by Ord. No. 255-19-98]
A.
Purpose. The purposes of the land use and development of the municipality as set forth in § 102-3 would be furthered by permitting reduction in lot area of individual lots in the case of certain residential developments in the MR Mountain Residential District, but only where such developments of single-family detached dwellings provide compensating open space. Cluster development which provides for a permitted density modification residential development can:
[Amended 12-19-2002 by Ord. No. 255-35-2002; 11-6-2003 by Ord. No. 255-42-2003]
(1)
Be designed with a lower per plot cost for streets
and utilities.
(2)
Result in a lower total length of streets and
utility lines, thereby lowering the municipality's costs of service
and maintenance.
(3)
Be developed to encourage separation of vehicular
and pedestrian traffic.
(4)
Be developed to include recreational facilities
in appropriate relationship to places of residence.
(5)
Serve the needs of conservation and development
by permitting the preservation of the natural ecological features
of the community and enhancing the quality of life of the inhabitants.
(6)
Serve the needs of the municipality and the
county through the extension of parkland, greenways, established trails
or recreational facilities.
(7)
Be developed to permit the continuation of an
existing agricultural use where the property in question is especially
suited for agricultural use.
B.
Cluster development shall be an option for residential development in the MR Mountain Residential District and cluster development may be mandated by the Planning Board for the development of property with a lot area of 25 acres or more when the purposes set forth in § 102-13.1A are met and the evaluation criteria established in § 102-13. 1D are attainable through cluster development. If, after a review by the Planning Board of the purposes and evaluation criteria indicate that a cluster development is not suitable for the proposed site, then a conventional development of the site shall be permitted.
[Amended 12-19-2002 by Ord. No. 255-35-2002; 11-6-2003 by Ord. No. 255-42-2003]
C.
Procedure to determine density. The maximum number
of lots permitted under the clustering concept shall be determined
by establishing the required 70% open space with lots meeting the
yard and area requirements of § 102-13G of this section.
The required open space of 70% shall not include any portion of a
building lot or lots to meet the 70% requirement, even though a portion
of the building lot or lots may include a conservation easement, critical
areas or such other restrictions which limit development on the lot
or lots.
[Amended 4-17-2003 by Ord. No. 255-38-2003]
D.
Evaluation criteria. In evaluating the layout of lots
and open space, the following criteria will be considered by the Planning
Board as indicating design appropriate to the site's natural, historic
and cultural features, and meeting the purposes of this section. Diversity
and originality in lot layout shall be encouraged to achieve the best
possible relationship between development and conservation areas.
Accordingly, the Planning Board shall evaluate proposals to determine
whether the proposed conceptual plan:
(1)
Protects and preserves all floodplains, wetlands
and steep slopes from clearing, grading, filling or construction (except
as may be required for essential infrastructure or active or passive
recreation amenities).
(2)
Preserves and maintains mature woodlands, existing
fields, pastures, meadows and orchards and creates sufficient buffer
areas to minimize conflicts between residential and agricultural uses.
(3)
If development must be located on open fields
or pastures because of greater constraints in all other parts of the
site, dwellings should be sited on the least prime agricultural soils
or in locations at the far edge of a field as seen from existing public
roads. Other considerations include whether the development will be
visually buffered from existing public roads, such as by a planting
screen consisting of a variety of indigenous native trees, shrubs
and wildflowers.
(4)
Maintains or creates an upland buffer of natural
native species vegetation of at least 100 feet in depth adjacent to
wetlands and surface waters, including creeks, streams, springs, lakes
and ponds.
(5)
Designs around existing hedgerows and treelines
between fields or meadows, minimizes impacts on large woodlands (greater
than five acres), especially those containing many mature trees or
a significant wildlife habitat or those not degraded by invasive vines.
Also, woodlands of any size on highly erodible soils with slopes greater
than 10% should be avoided. However, woodlands in poor condition with
limited management potential can provide suitable locations for residential
development. When any woodland is developed, great care shall be taken
to design all disturbed areas (for buildings, roads, yards, septic
disposal fields, etc.) in locations where there are no large trees
or obvious wildlife areas to the fullest extent that is practicable.
(6)
Leaves scenic views and vistas unblocked or
uninterrupted, particularly as seen from public roadways. (For example,
in open agrarian landscapes, a deep no-build, no-plant buffer is recommended
along the public roadway where those views or vistas are prominent
or locally significant. In wooded areas where the sense of enclosure
is a feature that should be maintained, a deep no-build, no-cut buffer
should be respected, to preserve existing vegetation.)
(7)
Avoids siting new construction on prominent
hilltops or ridges by taking advantage of low topographic features.
(8)
Protects wildlife habitat areas or species listed
as endangered, threatened or of special concern by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and/or by the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection.
(9)
Designs around and preserves sites of historic,
archaeological or cultural value and their environs insofar as needed
to safeguard the character of the feature, including stone walls,
spring houses, barn foundations, cellar holes, earthworks, burial
grounds, etc.
(10)
Protects rural roadside character and improves
public safety and vehicular carrying capacity by avoiding development
fronting onto existing public roads. Establishes buffer zones along
the scenic corridor of rural roads with historic buildings, stone
walls, hedgerows, etc.
(11)
Landscapes common areas (such as community greens), cul-de-sac islands and both sides of new streets with native specie shade trees and flowering shrubs with high wildlife conservation value. (See § 102-23 regarding standards pertaining to natural features and landscaping.)
[Amended 12-6-2001 by Ord. No. 255-32-2001]
(12)
Provides active recreational areas in suitable
locations offering convenient access by residents and adequately screened
from nearby houselots.
(13)
Includes a pedestrian circulation system designed
to assure that pedestrians can walk safety and easily on the site,
between properties and activities or special features within the neighborhood
open space system. All roadside footpaths should connect with off-road
trails, which in turn should link with potential open space on adjoining
undeveloped parcels (or with existing open space on adjoining developed
parcels, where applicable).
(14)
Provides open space that is reasonably contiguous
and whose configuration is in accordance with this section. For example,
fragmentation of open space should be minimized so that these resource
areas are not divided into numerous small parcels located in various
parts of the development. To the greatest extent practicable, this
land shall be designed as a single block with logical, straightforward
boundaries. Long thin strips of conservation land shall be avoided,
unless the conservation feature is linear or unless such configuration
is necessary to connect with other streams or trails. The open space
shall generally abut existing or potential open space land on adjacent
parcels and shall be designed as part of larger contiguous and integrated
greenway systems.
E.
Design process and criteria. Each conceptual plan
shall follow a four-step design process, as described below. When
the conceptual plan is submitted, applicants shall be prepared to
demonstrate to the Planning Board that these four design steps were
followed by their site designers in determining the layout of their
proposed streets, houselots and greenway lands.
(1)
Designating the open space. During the first
step, all potential open space areas are identified.
(2)
Location of house sites. During the second step, potential house sites are tentatively located. Because the proposed location of houses within each lot represents a significant decision with potential impacts on the ability of the development to meet the 14 evaluation criteria contained in Subsection D above, applicants shall identify tentative house sites on the conceptual plan.
(3)
Street and lot layout. The third-step consists
of aligning proposed streets to provide vehicular access to each house
in the most reasonable and economical way. When lots and access streets
are laid out, they shall be located in a way that avoids or at least
minimizes adverse impacts on conservation areas.
(4)
Lot lines. The fourth step is simply to draw
in the lot lines.
F.
In order to develop single-family detached dwellings
with no common open land as a conventional development within the
MR Mountain Residential District, the applicant must demonstrate to
the Planning Board's satisfaction that all of the following conditions
are met, where applicable:
[Amended 12-19-2002 by Ord. No. 255-35-2002; 11-6-2003 by Ord. No. 255-42-2003]
(1)
The tract in question is unsuitable for cluster development due to factors such as the size or shape of the tract or the location of natural features, and the purposes for a cluster development as set forth in § 102-13.1A and the evaluation criteria established in § 102-13.1D are not applicable to the applicant's site.
(2)
Where the property is wholly or partially in
agricultural use, that the property is not feasible for continued
or future agricultural use due to its physical characteristics. Existing
features such as soil conditions, rock outcroppings, wooded areas,
the tract's shape or size, past farming activities and suitability
for efficient use of farm machinery shall be considered.
(3)
The proposed conventional development will not
have a disruptive effect on the existing topography, steep slopes,
floodplains, wetlands, mature woodlands or other natural features
on the site.
(4)
An environmental impact statement and visual
inventory of the site have been submitted.
(5)
The proposed conventional development shall
be consistent with good design principles and land development practices.
Specifically, it shall be designed to minimize views of dwellings
from exterior roads and to avoid stripping out of lots along these
roads.
(6)
The tract in question can be developed in a
manner consistent with community goals as expressed in the Bethlehem
Township Master Plan.

Mt. Laurel housing requirements.
(1)
By Order of the Superior Court of New Jersey,
in resolution of Mt. Laurel II related litigation known as "Bethlehem
Land Limited Partnership vs. The Township Committee of the Township
of Bethlehem, docket number HNT-L-763-90," the developer of the approximate
sixty-four-acre tract of land, situated in the MR Mountain Residential
District with the optional development alternative for affordable
housing residential development, shall be responsible for the following
monetary contributions for the purposes indicated in lieu of the actual
construction of low- and moderate-income housing units on-site if
the optional development alternative is utilized:
(a)
The developer shall contribute a total sum of
$230,000 to a fund for the rehabilitation of the 23 dwelling units
of the Township's indigenous need in accordance with the following
schedule:
[1]
Fifteen thousand dollars to be paid as a condition
of preliminary subdivision approval for the preparation by the Township
of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan; plus
[2]
Two hundred fifteen thousand dollars to be paid
on a lot-by-lot basis as follows:
[a]
Two thousand one hundred ninety-three
dollars and eighty-eight cents per dwelling unit, payable upon the
receipt of a construction permit for each dwelling unit; and
[b]
Two thousand one hundred ninety-three
dollars and eighty-eight cents per dwelling unit, payable upon the
receipt of a certificate of occupancy for each dwelling unit.
[c]
Where a lot is sold prior to the
issuance of a construction permit for the dwelling unit, $4,387.76
is to be paid per residential lot in lieu of Subsection G(1)(a)[2][a]
and [b] hereinabove, payable 90 days after the date of the sale of
the lot or upon receipt of a construction permit, whichever occurs
first.
(b)
The fees per dwelling unit set forth in the schedule in Subsection G(1)(a)[2] hereinabove may be modified by the Planning Board at the time of preliminary subdivision approval if the number of residential lots is less than the 49 maximum permitted residential lots.
(c)
The fees per dwelling unit set forth in the schedule in Subsection G(1)(a)[2] hereinabove shall be increased by the amount of interest that may be incurred by the Township, based on actual costs, if the township implements the rehabilitation program prior to sufficient funds becoming available for such rehabilitation program in accordance with Subsection G(1)(a) hereinabove.
