B. 
This article shall not apply to construction projects meeting any of the following requirements:
(1) 
The project involves the construction of three residential units or less with no need for any road construction other than curb openings.
(2) 
The project involves construction for which no construction permit is required or for which the estimated cost of the total project pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.5(b)liv is less than $100,000.
The following regulations shall govern persons, firms or corporations participating in construction projects to which this article applies:
A. 
If the project is within 500 feet of an occupied residence, no construction activity shall take place between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. For purposes of this subsection, "construction activity" is defined as any work audible at the boundary of the construction site.
B. 
The person, firm or corporation obtaining a construction permit must request from the Township Manager or his designee an approved route for construction traffic. All construction equipment, including all vehicles used by workers employed in the project for transportation, must follow the route prescribed by the Township Manager or his designee pursuant to § 135-35.
C. 
Adequate parking for all vehicles must be provided on the construction site, unless the Township Manager or his designee approves designated off-site parking areas. Such off-site areas shall be approved only where sufficient on-site space is unavailable.
The Township Manager or his or her designee shall use the following standards when specifying an approved route:
A. 
For vehicles or equipment with a gross weight exceeding four tons, the route shall:
(1) 
Whenever possible avoid paved or partially paved streets which have been or are intended to be dedicated to the Township. This limitation shall not apply to state or county highways or roads within the same subdivision.
(2) 
Avoid streets containing a school or occupied residences.
Where established streets meeting the standards in this subsection are not available, a temporary, unimproved roadway may be required.
B. 
For vehicles or equipment having a gross weight of less than four tons, the route shall:
(1) 
Avoid streets containing a school or occupied residences.
(2) 
Whenever possible be the same route used by heavy construction traffic as specified in Subsection A. If said route is unimproved, an alternate route may be designated.
The Township Manager may waive the requirements of this article when the size or location of the project, weather conditions or other factors make the requirements unnecessary or unduly burdensome.
Any person, firm or corporation, unless previously granted a waiver pursuant to § 135-36, violating any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable as provided in Chapter 1, Article I, of this Code.
