§ 37]
a.
All driveways shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width
and shall be constructed of at least four inches of compacted subbase
material and two inches of five-eighths-inch roadway stone or comparable
material. Aprons shall be provided in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter.

Driveway Grades. Driveway grades shall not exceed
10% at any point along the entire length of the driveway. In addition,

the eight-percent grade and any increase in grade.
c.
Driveway Side Slopes. The side slopes of driveways
shall be topsoiled, seeded, fertilized and mulched or otherwise stabilized
to prevent erosion. If banks exceed a two to one slope, and the slope
face is not stable rock, retaining walls shall be constructed in a
manner approved by the Township Engineer.

[Ord. #1932, 4-10-2007, amended]
[Ord. #585, § 609B; Ord. #760,
§ 49]
a.
The driveway shall be a minimum of 12 feet in width
constructed with four inches compacted subbase material and a two-inch
depth of three-eighths-inch roadway stone (surface course) or equivalent
driveway section.
b.
A stabilized berm of three feet in width shall be
constructed on each side of the driveway. The berm shall have a maximum
cross slope of 5% so that the stabilized berm in conjunction with
the driveway will allow vehicles to pass one another.
c.
The Planning Board may permit an increase in the maximum
driveway grade to 13% if the applicant can demonstrate that the increased
grade would result in less site disturbance, loss of vegetation, help
promote aesthetics and will not have any adverse impact on safety
or surrounding properties.
d.
A turnaround shall be provided at the end of the driveway
which shall be designed for a single unit design vehicle.
e.
Provision shall be made for adequate drainage along
and/or across the driveway so as not to change the existing drainage

vertical curves providing safe stopping distance for a design speed
of 15 miles per hour.
