The street design standards and construction specifications
herein are regarded as minimum standards and specifications. These
standards were developed giving high priority to the safety and durability
of future Township streets. Where the provisions of this chapter and
any other ordinance conflict, the provisions of this chapter shall
prevail. However, the Township reserves the right to require designs
in excess of these standards when conditions warrant it, and also
to approve alternate designs when proven to the Township Engineer
that they are equal or better in design.
Neighborhood streets shall meet all the design standards of
a local street, except for the criteria and restrictions described
below:
A. Can serve only a residential use.
B. Must be a nonthrough street, i.e., a street that serves only the
adjacent residences.
C. The minimum center line horizontal curvature shall be no less than
107 feet.
D. Sidewalks are required pursuant to §
180-16.
E. Sight obstructions that do not meet twenty-mile-per-hour design requirements as described by §
177-18A are prohibited. Areas where obstructions would conflict with sight distance on the inside portion of horizontal curves must be shown on the plan.
F. The streets must be posted at either 15 miles per hour, or five miles
per hour lower than the design speed determined by the designer.
G. There can be no straight stretches of road longer than 300 feet.
H. The developer must show that each residence can provide a minimum
of two off-street parking spaces.
