to the adjoining properties or the traveling public.
H.
Buffering.
(1)
Buffering shall be located to minimize headlights
of vehicles, noise, light from structures, the movement of people
and vehicles and to shield activities from adjacent properties when
necessary. Buffering may consist of fencing, evergreens, shrubs, berms,
rocks, boulders, mounds, bushes, deciduous trees or combinations thereof
to achieve the stated objectives. The preservation of natural vegetation
shall be maximized.
(2)
Extensive buffers shall be provided on nonresidential
land abutting residential zones or areas.
I.
Landscaping.
(1)
Landscaping shall be provided as part of the overall
plan design and integrated into building arrangements, topography,

(2)
A landscaping plan shall be submitted with each site
plan application. The plan shall identify existing and proposed trees,
shrubs, bushes, plant material, ground cover and natural features
such as boulders and rock outcroppings and also utilities. It should
show where they are or will be located and the planting details. When
existing natural growth is proposed to remain, the applicant shall
include in the plans proposed methods to protect the existing trees
and growth during and after construction. These shall include fences,
berms, curbing, tree walls and similar devices. The following principles
should be followed:
(a)
Locate and select landscaping features to provide
for climate control and solar energy usage; for example, shade trees
on the south, of species to shield the hot summer sun, yet permit
the winter sun to filter through.
(b)
Use landscaping to accent and complement buildings;
for example, groupings of tall trees to break up long, low buildings
and lower plantings for taller buildings.
(c)
Provide landscaping in public areas, recreation
sites and adjacent to buildings.
(d)
Consider vines and climbing plants for large
expanses of walls.
(e)
Consider massing trees at critical points rather
than in a straight line at predetermined intervals along streets.
Vary types by neighborhood.
(f)
Use ground cover extensively to prevent erosion.
(g)
Provide for a variety and mixture of landscaping.
The variety should consider susceptibility to disease, colors, season,
textures, shapes, blossoms and foliage.
(h)
Consider local soil conditions and water availability
in the choice of landscaping.
(i)
Consider the impact of any proposed landscaping
plan at various time intervals. Shrubs may grow and eventually block
sight distances. Foundation plants may block out buildings.
(j)
Use fewer large specimens rather than more numerous
smaller ones.
(k)
Use deciduous trees of at least two-inch caliper
at planting. Evergreens should be at least four feet tall, shrubs
at least two feet tall, at planting, except in buffers, where a greater
height may be required. All trees shall be balled and burlapped.
(l)
Provide the following intervals between street
trees depending on the type, if street trees are planted:
|
Type of Tree
|
Planting Interval
(feet)
|
Mature Height
(feet)
| |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Large trees
|
50 to 70
|
75 and up
| |
|
Medium trees
|
40 to 50
|
40 to 75
| |
|
Small and ornamental trees
|
20 to 40
|
40 or less
|
(m)
Provide special landscaping treatment at the
site entrances.
(n)
Save unusual specimen trees or trees on slopes
whose root systems function as soil stabilizers by proper design of
the grade. Maximum effort should be made to save clumps of trees rather
than individual ones.
(o)
Landscape at least 5% of the parking area and
install one tree for each 10 spaces. The landscaping should be located
in protected areas, such as along walkways, center islands and at
the end of bays. In narrow islands, use low spreading plants.
A.
General plans. When an individual water supply or
sewage disposal system is proposed, the plan for such systems shall
be approved by the appropriate local, county or state health agency
and such approval shall be submitted with the preliminary plat. Any
submission or part thereof which does not meet the requirements of
this chapter and other applicable laws, ordinances and regulations
shall not be approved. Any remedy proposed to overcome such a situation
shall first be approved by the appropriate local, county or state
health agency.
B.
Underground utilities. For all major subdivisions,
the applicant shall arrange with the serving utilities for the underground
installation of the utility's distribution supply lines and service
connections in accordance with the provisions of the applicable standard
terms and conditions incorporated as a part of its tariff, as the
same are then on file with the State of New Jersey Board of Public
Utility Commissioners. The applicant shall submit to the Planning
Board, prior to the granting of preliminary approval, a written instrument
from each serving utility, which shall evidence full compliance with
the provisions of this subsection, provided that lots in such subdivisions
which abut existing streets where overhead electric or telephone distribution
supply lines have theretofore been installed on any portion of the
streets involved may be supplied with electric and telephone service
from such overhead lines or extensions thereof, but the service connections
from the utilities' overhead lines shall be installed underground.
The location of access facilities for servicing the utility in the
proposed subdivision shall be developed in conjunction with and as
part of the complete subdivision plan.
C.
Rights-of-way. Wherever the utility is not installed
in the public right-of-way, an appropriate utility easement not less
than 15 feet in width shall be provided.
D.
Inspection and approval by Borough. All such underground
installations for utilities and their service lines shall be subject
to inspection and approval by the Borough Engineer, who shall be notified
of such underground installations at least 48 hours prior to any excavation
therefor. No underground installation shall be covered until inspected
and approved by the Borough Engineer and those agencies having jurisdiction
over the particular installation.
In addition to the provisions of this chapter,
all subdivisions which adjoin, include or affect county roads, county
drainage structures or county drainage facilities shall meet the design
standards specified in and required by the County Development Standards;
and subdivision development shall meet the regulations and requirements
of all the land use chapters.
[Added 6-28-1999 by Ord. No. 8-99]
The provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-56 and 40:55D-57
shall apply to any request by a prospective purchaser, mortgagee,
or other person interested in any land which forms a part of a subdivision,
or which formed part of such a subdivision, three years preceding
the effective date of the Municipal Land Use Law, where such request
is for the issuance of a certificate certifying whether or not such
subdivision has been approved by the Planning Board.
