This article shall apply to all applications
for residential development in the Township.
The following exhibits shall be submitted with
the site plan or subdivision application:
A. Topography map showing existing contours.
B. Areas with the following slopes as measured between
contour lines shall be identified on a copy of the topography map
and said classifications shall be based on the minimum required contour
interval:
C. Identification and location of the following constraints:
(1) Wetlands and wetland buffers;
(2) Floodways, flood fringes and associated buffers;
(4) High seasonal groundwater areas; and
(5) Shallow depth to bedrock.
D. Constraints shall be identified based on as a minimum
the following:
(1) Minor subdivisions. Data based on available mapping,
except where other regulations require more detailed analysis, in
which case the detailed information shall be shown. Topography may
be based on available mapping, where appropriate, provided the contours
are interpreted to a minimum interval of five feet and further provided
that any man-made structures are shown.
(2) Major subdivisions. Constraints for major subdivisions
shall be based on actual field investigation and permitting documents
as may be supplemented by available mapping. Topography shall be shown
at two-foot contour intervals.
