25 feet from curbline to front of building.
(2) Side:
12 feet from curbline to side of building.
(3) Minimum
distance between buildings: 20 feet.
D. Maximum
building cover: 30% of site area.
E. Maximum
impervious coverage: 60% of site area.
F. Wetland
setback:
(1) Building:
15 feet; minimum setback for a building.
(2) Parking
area: five feet; minimum setback for a parking area.
(3) Filling:
Filling adjacent to a wetlands area shall not extend into the wetlands.
(4) New
bulkheading: New bulkheading may be proposed within the wetland and

Such filling shall only be permitted with the approval of the Township
Engineer and after all required state and federal permits have been
obtained.
G. Filling
within a flood fringe area: Filling adjacent to a waterline shall
not extend over the waterline. New bulkheading may be proposed to
stabilize and secure an existing waterline area. Filling shall be
permitted for this purpose only with the approval of the Township
Engineer and after all required state and federal permits have been
obtained.
H. Landscaping: Street trees shall be provided every 25 feet along all public street frontages or streets offered for dedication. Where parking areas are located between the street and the proposed principal building, plant materials shall be installed at the edge of the parking area closest to the street which shall be at least three feet in height when planted and which shall meet the landscape requirement of Chapter
177, Subdivision and Land Development.
I. Parking.
(1) All parking areas shall be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the ultimate right-of-way line of any public street which is offered for dedication unless otherwise specified in §
205-130A of this chapter. The area between the cartway and the parking area shall be devoted to required street trees, landscaping, and sidewalks.
(2) The
parking layout shall provide for pedestrian circulation throughout
the parking area. The pedestrian circulation system shall be illustrated
on the site plan.
(3) Parking
space requirements are 2.5 parking spaces for each dwelling unit;
one parking space for each three seats in the sit-down restaurant
with an additional space for each employee on the largest shift; and
one parking space for each marina boat slip open for public use.
(4) Parking
spaces may be shared parking for multiple use.
J. Lighting.
(1) Parking
areas, walkways, and passages shall be adequately illuminated with
a light system designed to compliment the general area and the site
of the proposed development and to prevent any off-site glare and
spillover light onto adjacent properties.
(2) Lighting
plans must provide detailed isocandle levels with a minimum 1.0 maintained
footcandle level and a maximum 3.0 maintained footcandle level. The
incident spillover light at property boundaries shall not exceed 0.3
footcandles except that this maximum may be increased to 0.5 footcandles
along adjacent public roadways.
(3) All
light sources are to be high-pressure sodium.
(4) Freestanding
fixtures.
(a) Freestanding fixtures shall utilize appropriate sharp cutoff luminaries
with shielding of the light source at angles above 72° from the
vertical.
(b) Various freestanding fixture types may be permitted as approved by
the Township. The design lighting plan shall provide details on all
proposed fixtures and poles and shall be accompanied by appropriate
manufacturer cut sheets at the time of plan submission.
(c) The maximum height of freestanding fixtures shall vary to provide
scale and dimension to the project. A maximum of 25% of the fixtures
required on the site shall not exceed 25 feet in height. All other
fixtures shall not exceed 15 feet in height. Fixture heights shall
be measured from the bottom of the fixture to ground level.
(5) Building
mounted lighting shall be shown on all plans. All building mounted
lighting shall be designed so that all light from the source is shielded
at angles above 72° from the vertical so as not to create any
glare or visible source of light. Lights are not permitted along the
outline of buildings or along rooflines.
(6) All
canopy lighting shall be recessed in the canopy with no lens extending
below the canopy surface. Canopy lighting sources shall be shielded
at angles above 90° from the vertical glare and view of the lighting
source.
K. Signs.
(1) Developments
shall comply with all applicable sign regulations of this chapter,
except as modified or supplemented by these regulations.
(2) All
building-mounted signs shall be consistent and compatible with the
style, composition, materials, colors, and details of the building
and the purposes of this district.
(3) Internally
lit signs shall consist of a dark background and light lettering so
that the characters, letters, and graphics of the sign are illuminated
but the background is not.
(4) Freestanding
signs shall not exceed a height of eight feet and shall be mounted
to the ground and landscaped to the satisfaction of the Council.
(5) Flashing,
rotating or revolving signs, pennants, flags, banners, balloons, and
objects such as tires, automobiles, food products, or other items
designed to draw attention to a product or business are prohibited.
L. Building
design. The following building design guidelines are recommendations
which should be considered for any buildings within the marina residential
development. Although only recommendations, every effort should be
made to follow the suggested guidelines so that future development
along these portions of State Road occur in a uniform fashion.
(1) All
sides of a building should be architecturally consistent with the
front facade, and all building faces visible from the street or abutting
properties should have the same architectural features and style as
the front facade. Modifications may be made in the design for necessary
loading and other utility areas.
(2) Recommended
building materials include stone, clapboard (wood, vinyl, or simulated),
brick, stucco, board and batton, cedar shakes or simulated shakes
looking like cedar, slate or slate substitute, and decorative block.
(3) Pitched
roofs are recommended. Flat roofs are discouraged, except where there
is a partial or pent roof that extends along all sides of the building.
HVAC units should not be visible from the surrounding properties or
any public street on the same elevation.
(4) Buildings
and roofs should be designed to use primarily earth tones, colors
of natural materials, or colors of traditional building materials
such as brick, stone, or wood. The use of appropriate augmenting trim
colors is encouraged.
M. Additional
Use A-3 requirements. Any development which includes Use A3 Single-Family
Attached Dwelling must comply with other regulations applicable to
Single-Family Attached Dwelling (Use A3) as listed below.

access drives which are dedicated for public use shall be improved
to minimum standards contained in Section 503 of the Bristol Township
Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance. If not dedicated for public use, conveyance to a community
association or condominium association shall be required and provision
for maintenance charges shall be made.
(3) It is not necessary that each lot have frontage on a public street. Some lots may have frontage on a public street, while others may have access by right-of-way owned by a community association or a condominium association, provided that all required improvements involving street and/or private right-of-way access shall require an appropriate bond guaranteeing completion of the improvements, conforming to the provisions of Article
VII of the Bristol Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance.
N. Site capacity
calculations: Site capacity calculations shall not be applicable except
for the above-referenced area and dimensional requirements and other
standards.
O. Environmental
performance standards: Environmental performance standards shall not
be applicable except for the above-referenced area and dimensional
reqqirements and other standards.
