[Amended 8-5-1963; 1-31-1977 by Ord. No. 77-35]
As a condition to the granting of final approval, the subdivider will install in accordance with Township specifications or shall furnish performance guaranties for the ultimate installation of the following improvements or any other improvements where required:
A.
Streets.
B.
Street signs.
C.
Curbs.
D.
Sidewalks shall be required in all subdivisions and shall be four feet wide; unless, however, the Planning Board finds that there should be sidewalks on only one side of the street, or that no sidewalk should be provided because of one of the following conditions which the Planning Board shall also find exists and further finds that the public safety will not be adversely affected thereby:
(1)
The new street shown on the subdivision plat is an extension of an existing street where there is a sidewalk on only one side or there is no sidewalk, as the case may be.
(2)
There are other subdivisions in the neighborhood where there are sidewalks on only one side of the street or no sidewalks, and it would be unreasonable to require a sidewalk on more than one side of the street or any sidewalk.
(3)
The open or rural character of the subdivision development would be best preserved by a sidewalk on only one side of the street or by no sidewalk.
E.
Shade trees.
F.
Topsoil protection. No topsoil shall be removed from the site or used as spoil. A minimum depth of six inches of topsoil shall be stabilized and maintained in all open areas. The subdivider shall ensure that no rubbish or debris (dead trees and the like) is left on public land at the completion of his project.
G.
Monuments as required by state statute.
H.
Water mains, culverts, storm sewers and sanitary sewers or other means of sewage disposal, drainage structures and all appurtenances to such facilities. All such installations shall be properly connected to the Township, county and state systems and shall be adequate to handle all present and probable future development.
I.
Fireboxes as required by the Fire Department.
J.
Rear yard electric service and telephone service shall be required and easements therefor shall be provided as set forth in § 234-15B(2). If, however, the Township Planning Board finds that one of the following conditions exists and further finds that the public safety, public good and general welfare will not be adversely affected thereby, the requirement for rear yard electrical and telephone service may be waived and the service installed in the bed of the street, provided that:
(1)
The street or streets in the subdivision are an extension of an existing street or streets which have the electrical and telephone service within the bed of the street and the area of the subdivision and area of land proposed to be in street use would not exceed that in Subsection J(3) of this section.
(2)
The physical characteristics or topography of land within the subdivision is such that it would be impractical to require rear line service.
(3)
The total area of the subdivision does not exceed five acres and the total area of land to be used for street purposes within the subdivision, not including existing developed streets, does not exceed 27,500 square feet.
K.
Ornamental streetlighting and underground conduits therefor, with location being determined by the Township Engineer.
L.
The subdivider shall be responsible for setting final property grades in such a way as to protect property from the action of runoff water. The Township Engineer will approve final grades for the subdivision.
