[Ord. #1004, § 7]
a.
Tract Setback. All development shall maintain a one-hundred-foot
minimum buffer to all exterior property lines with three exceptions:
where the developer has committed to larger buffers in a settlement
agreement; (2) along municipal boundaries where densities on both
sides of the boundary line will be similar; or (3) at those locations
along an exterior property line where the neighboring property is
zoned for a density similar to what the developer proposes to build
at that location. In the case of exceptions (2) and (3), the required
buffer shall be consistent with the minimum yard setbacks on the neighboring
property. Any required buffer shall be bermed, landscaped or left
in its natural state and remain unoccupied except for entrance roads
crossing the buffer area, utilities limited intrusions by golf paths,
detention facilities or landscaped golf course elements. Buffers for
all single-family and two-family development may include minimum yard
requirements, except for minimum rear yard setbacks.
b.
Setback from Golf Course.
1.
No residential building shall be located closer to any golf course property line than the applicable minimum yard set forth in Subsection 21-84.4 below.
2.
No townhouse or multifamily building shall be located
closer than 50 feet from any edge of fairway, green or tee-off area.
3.
The center line of any golf hole shall be located
a minimum of 150 feet from any clubhouse, maintenance building or
residential building. This distance may be reduced to 100 feet at
the tee, flaring out to 150 feet at the distance, 300 to 360 feet
from the tee and continuing for the length of the hole. This standard
may be waived where, due to design, topography, orientation, landscape
treatment or other features, a lesser distance will protect the safety
and privacy of users and residents of the proposed structures.
c.
Nonresidential Setback. No residential building shall
be located closer than 25 feet from any nonresidential property line.
d.
Collector Road Buffer. Where residential developments
abut major collector roads, adjacent units should front on local streets,
and a landscape buffer should be provided along the property line
abutting the major collector road. The buffer strip shall be minimum
of 25 feet in depth and, where deemed appropriate by the Planning
Board based upon topography, grading conditions, lot size, landscaping,
need for privacy or screening and similar considerations, may include
any combination of trees, shrubs, berms and fences. Fences in this
area must conform to front yard standards. The buffer may be included
as part of the minimum yard or setback requirement and shall be subject
to a conservation easement or restriction.

The system shall be adequate to carry off the stormwater
and natural drainage water which originates not only within the lot
or tract boundaries but also that which originates beyond the lot

from glare, reflection, and overhead sky glow in order to recommend
steps needed to minimize these impacts.
3.
The maximum intensity of lighting permitted on roadways
shall be as required in section 21-41 of this chapter.
c.
Sanitary Sewers. Where required and where a public
or private treatment and collection system is provided, the developer

with a minimum width of 40 to 50 feet.
