provided that a mandatory 20% of all units are set aside for very-low-,
low- and moderate-income households. Affordable units shall be integrated
with the market rate units throughout the development.
Any and all uses of land that are customarily, habitually and
by long practice, as established by reasonable association with, incidental
and subordinate to, the principal use of the property, including but
not limited to the following:
C. Gate houses/guard booths/welcome booths.
D. Clubhouses, including sales and leasing offices.
G. Passive and active recreation.
M. Utilities, pump stations and other essential services.

through the application of common building materials such as brick,
cultured stone and wood.
B. Trash. Each dwelling unit must be designed to have a dedicated location
for the interior storage of trash or designed in such a way that said
trash shall be stored in a dedicated exterior storage facility. If
there is no interior trash storage provided for, said external facility
shall be constructed in such a way to be a part of the building with
no distinction between construction material, and designed in such
a way as to prevent wildlife from gaining access. If there is no interior
trash storage provided for, said external facility shall be constructed
in an enclosure with a roof using compatible construction material,
and designed in such a way as to prevent wildlife from gaining access.
C. Mailboxes. Mailboxes must be either provided in cluster mailboxes
or located in a clubhouse, or other type of facility.
D. Lighting. The lighting requirements shall comport with §
600-177, Outdoor lighting, of the Township of Denville's Zoning Ordinance.
E. Utility meters. All utility meters may be located in the interior
of the building provided that said meters are located within a common
area and not within an individual dwelling unit. If utility meters
are located on the exterior of a structure, landscaping must be provided
in the vicinity to aid in the screening of said meters.
F. Air-conditioning units, emergency generators, or other sound-producing
equipment. Any emergency generators; air-conditioning units, or other
sound-producing equipment must be adequately screened by either fencing,
landscaping or buffer areas so as to reduce its impact to surrounding
land uses.
G. Signage.
(1)
With the exception of street signs, traffic control signs, and
building identification signs, there shall be a single development
identification sign permitted. Said identification sign shall be a
ground-mounted monument sign, a freestanding sign or, if an accessory
building is utilized for a guard booth/welcome booth, a wall sign
may be permitted.
(2)
A proposed monument or freestanding sign shall be located on
the property, but outside of any required sight triangle area, and
shall contain no more than 24 square feet per side and no more than
two sides. A proposed monument or freestanding sign shall not exceed
eight feet in height from the base of the sign and may be externally
lit.
(3)
A proposed wall sign may be permitted if a guard booth/welcome
booth is proposed, or if a retaining wall is proposed, where said
sign is incorporated into this accessory structure. This wall sign
shall contain no more than 24 square feet and may be externally lit.
No development identification may be permitted on any building that
houses a dwelling unit, garage or clubhouse.
(4)
Temporary signs. Temporary signs shall be permitted and may include "for sale," "open house" and related sale advertising, and construction activity directional signage. Said signs must meet the provisions of §
600-188.
H. Fences and walls. Fences, walls, and retaining walls shall be permitted
provided that no fence or freestanding wall shall exceed six feet
in height, unless located in the front yard between a principal building
and any street or roadway, in which case no fence or freestanding
wall shall exceed four feet in height. Retaining walls may exceed
six feet in height, where the approving board finds that the additional
height in wall outweighs the amount of disturbance a tiered or multiple-tiered
wall would require. Any residential building rear yard that faces
a downsloping retaining wall shall provide a six-foot fence at the
top of the retaining wall. The approving board may, in appropriate
situations, require such walls to provide landscaping to be planted
in front of or atop of such walls in order to reduce their visual
impact. In no case shall a retaining wall exceed eight feet in height.
For the purpose of applying height limits, multiple, staggered or
tiered walls, and/or wall/fence combinations shall be considered single
units unless the horizontal distance between the top of any section
or tier shall meet or exceed five feet.
I. Access.
(1)
If only one permanent point of access is proposed, an emergency
access point must be provided through the use of grass pavers or other
suitable methods or a boulevard access point must be utilized. If
a second point of access is not available, no guardhouse or restricted
access is permitted.
(2)
If gates or other methods of excluding the vehicular traffic
are proposed, the application must provide adequate provisions for
emergency vehicles as well as turnaround provisions for visitors who
have been refused entry.
(3)
Emergency or permanent access.
(a)
For Lots 1, 2 and 3 in Block 21401: Every effort should be made
to provide access (either permanent or emergency) to Forges Avenue
and/or Henning Terrace.

600 are found to be inconsistent with this article, the provisions of this article shall govern.
