Prior to the granting of final approval, the
applicant shall have either installed improvements required by the
Planning Board or have posted a performance guaranty or surety sufficient
to cover the costs of said improvements. The Planning Board may solicit
local, county, state, federal, public or semipublic agencies and knowledgeable
individuals on what improvements shall be required, the costs for
the same to be paid by the applicant. Improvements recommended by
other agencies, such as a utilities authority, county, state or other
governmental agencies, may be required by the Planning Board as a
condition of final approval. The following are standard required improvements
which are necessary to protect the health, safety, welfare and convenience
of the residents and public. Other improvements may also be required.
It is recognized, however, that in peculiar situations, all of the
improvements listed below may not be appropriate or needed, and may
then be waived.
All street improvements (i.e., pavements, curbs,
gutters and sidewalks) shall be installed in conformance with the
Borough's standards and specifications. The paving width of streets
and the quality of surfacing and base materials shall adhere to the
minimum standards set forth by the Borough or county engineers, when
said paving concerns road under their jurisdiction. All underground
utilities, drains or other facilities located within the roadway portion
of a street shall be installed prior to the placing of material.
Installation of all sewer, water and other utilities
shall be in strict accordance with the standards and specifications
of the Borough or other public utility concerned.
Appropriate street signs shall be installed
by the applicant at all street intersections in accordance with Borough
specifications.
Monuments of prescribed size and shape shall
be located and installed in accordance with the state statutory requirements
(N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.11).
No topsoil shall be removed from a subdivision
site or used as spoil or fill. Topsoil moved during the course of
construction shall be redistributed in the subdivision so as to provide
equal distribution of cover to all areas of the subdivision and shall
be stabilized by seeding and planting.
Drainage shall be provided so that surface water will not flow over private property where the course of natural drainage by existing ditch does not currently flow. The method of disposal of surface waters must be satisfactory in the opinion of the Borough Engineer. In the case of a major subdivision or a site plan, the drainage plan must be submitted with the preliminary plans at the time of the request for preliminary approval of the Planning Board. All driveways from property to street shall be constructed in such a manner as not to interfere with the flow of water in the road or drainage ditches along the public road. Stormwater drainage calculations shall accompany drainage plans. (See §
210-57C.)
The developer shall install or cause to be installed,
at his own expense
