[Amended 7-23-2008 by Ord. No. 08-24]
A. The subdivision plat and site plan shall conform to
design standards that will encourage good development patterns within
the Borough. Where an Official Map or Master Plan has been adopted,
the subdivision and site plan shall conform to the proposals and conditions
shown thereon. The streets, drainage, rights-of-way, school sites,
public parks and playgrounds shown on an officially adopted Master
Plan or Official Map shall be considered in approval of all plats.
B. Subdivisions and site plans for properties located
within the B-1 and PB-2 Zoning Districts and/or as specified in the
map attached to and made a part of Chapter
60, Town Center Task Force, shall be in conformance with the Town Center Task Force’s standards and guidelines, which are hereby adopted, approved and incorporated herein. A copy of such standards and guidelines shall be kept on file in the Offices of the Borough Clerk and the Planning Board Secretary.
Areas of land in residential developments normally
having a total area of five acres or more, but in special cases less,
may be dedicated for use as neighborhood recreation areas, conservation
areas or public facilities serving the neighborhood, provided that
the individual lots to be used for dwelling purposes conform to the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance of the Borough, which allows an alternate of a reduced lot size where
such common areas are provided. These areas shall incorporate natural
features, such as trees, brooks, hilltops and views, where they exist,
wherever possible.
Those lands located in the flood way may be
included in all calculations relating to minimum lot size and building
coverages.
