Every developer, as a condition for approval
of a subdivision or site plan, shall pay his pro rata share of the
cost of providing street improvements and water, sewerage and drainage
facilities and easements therefor located outside the property limits
of the subdivision or development but necessitated or required by
construction or improvements within such subdivision or development.
All payments provided for by this section shall be made, pursuant
to the regulations set forth herein.
Contributions shall be made for each improvement.
The amount thereof shall be determined as follows:
A. Contribution equals pro rata share multiplied by estimated
cost of facility.
B. The pro rata share and the estimated cost of the facility
shall be as determined hereafter for each of the sanitary sewerage,
storm drainage and street improvements.
C. The contribution shall be determined at the time of
preliminary plat or preliminary site plan approval, as the case may
be.
D. All estimates of the cost of the facility, as required
herein, shall be reviewed and updated as necessary at the same time
as the Master Plan updates are required by the Municipal Land Use
law.
Contributions for off-site sanitary sewerage
shall be for both the transportation of sewage and for the treatment
thereof.
A. The pro rata share shall be determined as follows:
|
Pro Rata Share
|
=
|
Flow From Development
|
|
---|
|
|
|
Capacity of Off-Tract Facility
|
|
B. These parameters shall be quantified as follows:
(1) Flow from development, in gallons per day, shall be
equal to the flow determined in the engineer's report made part of
the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's sanitary sewer
construction permit.
(2) Capacity of off-tract facility, in gallons per day,
shall be equal to the flow determined in the engineer's report made
part of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's sanitary
sewer construction permit, or, if the facility is part of a proposed
facility, it shall be the capacity of the facility stated in the comprehensive
utility plan segment of the Master Plan.
C. The estimated cost of the facility, in dollars, shall
be as determined by the Township Engineer at the time of the first
contribution for the improvement thereof. The Township Engineer shall
prepare a detailed cost estimate thereof and shall file copies in
the Township Clerk's office. The estimate shall include the current
value of the United States Environmental Protection Administration
construction cost index for sewer construction or sewage treatment
plant construction, as the case may be, or, if such is unavailable,
the current value of the Engineering News Record construction cost
index. This shall be the base cost index. Contributions by other developers
at a later date shall then be based on the original cost estimate,
which shall be adjusted by the ratio of the latest cost index to the
base cost index at the time of preparation of the estimate. For the
purposes of cost index adjustments, pumping stations and appurtenances
shall be considered as treatment plants, and force mains therefor
shall be considered as sewers.
Contributions for off-tract storm drainage shall
be for stormwater pipes, culverts, channels and detention basins.
A. The pro rata share shall be determined as follows:
|
Pro Rata Share
|
=
|
Developed Runoff
|
|
---|
|
|
|
Capacity of Facility
|
|
B. The parameters shall be quantified as follows:
(1) All calculations shall be based on methods defined in Article
V of Chapter
362, Subdivision and Site Plan Review, of this Code.
(2) Developed runoff, in cubic feet per second, shall
be the peak runoff from the tract for a one-hundred-year storm subsequent
to development.
(3) Existing runoff, in cubic feet per second, shall be
the peak runoff from the tract for a one-hundred-year storm prior
to development.
(4) Capacity of the facility shall be from the utility
plan segment of the Master Plan, except that in the case of a contribution
for an off-tract detention pond, it shall be the peak rate of stored
inflow of the detention basin required at the point of discharge into
the outfall channel.
C. The estimated cost of the facility, in dollars, shall
be as determined by the Township Engineer at the time of the first
contribution for the improvement thereof. The Township Engineer shall
prepare a detailed cost estimate thereof and shall file copies in
the Township Clerk's office. The estimate shall include the current
value of the Engineering News Record construction cost index. This
shall be the base cost index. Contributions by other developers at
a later date shall then be based on the original cost estimate, which
shall be adjusted by the ratio of the latest cost index to the base
cost index at the time of preparation of the estimate.
Contributions for off-tract street improvements
shall be for improvements required by the traffic generated from the
development.
A. The pro rata share shall be determined as follows:
|
Pro Rata Share
|
=
|
Traffic Demand
|
|
---|
|
|
|
Capacity of Proposed Facility
|
|
B. The parameters shall be quantified as follows:
(1) Traffic demand shall be the total daily traffic generated by the facility as required to be submitted by the provisions of Chapter
362, Subdivision and Site Plan Review, with truck and bus generations adjusted to passenger equivalents by methods stated in the Highway Capacity Manual.
(2) Capacity of the proposed facility shall be the level
of Service C capacity, which shall be considered as follows:
|
Street Classification
|
Vehicles
(per day)
|
---|
|
Major collectors, four-lane
|
10,000
|
|
Minor collectors, two-lane
|
6,000
|
|
Local streets
|
800
|
C. Estimated cost of the facility, in dollars, shall
be as determined by the Township Engineer at the time of the first
contribution for the improvement thereof. The Township Engineer shall
prepare a detailed cost estimate thereof and shall file copies in
the Township Clerk's office. The estimate shall include the current
value of the Engineering News Record construction cost index. This
shall be the base cost index. Contribution by other developers at
a later date shall then be based on the original cost estimate, which
shall be adjusted by the ratio of the latest cost index to the base
cost index at the time of preparation of the estimate.
