The subdivider shall provide for the disposal of sanitary sewage and
stormwater and for the installation of such other utilities as may be necessary.
The subdivider shall install underground service connections before
the street is paved and shall provide extensions to the lot line.
The Board may require easements not exceeding 12 feet in width at the
rear lot lines and, additionally, an access easement not exceeding 12 feet
in width, unless other access for utilities to the rear lot lines is provided,
for poles, wires, conduits, storm and sanitary sewers, gas, water or other
utilities. Easements of the same or greater width may be required along the
lines of or across lots wherever necessary for the extension of existing or
proposed utilities.
All installations of storm drains and sanitary sewers shall be connected
with an approved system, shall be adequate for all present and probable future
development and shall be made according to the requirements of the Township.
A.
Wherever it is impossible to provide or connect to a
sanitary sewer system, the Board may approve an individual sewage disposal
system which conforms to all requirements of the Health Code and the Building
Code of the Township.[2] In such cases, the subdivision plat shall show the proposed location
of the individual sanitary sewage disposal units and system and shall be accompanied
by plans for such units and system and by a certified copy of percolation
tests which have been made at such proposed locations. No subdivision, or
part thereof, shall be approved where results of said percolation tests do
not meet with the established requirements of this chapter or other applicable
ordinances or regulations, nor shall any subdivision, or part thereof, be
approved where other physical characteristics of the land would cause septic
conditions unhealthful to the public or which is contrary to the requirements
of this chapter or other applicable ordinances or regulations. Any remedy
proposed to overcome such situations or conditions shall first be approved
by the Health Department of the Township.
B.
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prohibit or
to prevent the Board from requiring the installation of sanitary sewer mains
and service connections in cases where it approved an individual sewage disposal
system.
The subdivider shall arrange with the Superintendent of the Water Bureau
for the installation or water mains and water hydrants.
Telephone and electric lines shall be placed at the rear of lots or underground. Easements therefor shall be provided as set forth in § 301-14 in all cases, even though utilities immediately constructed may not be required to follow such easement.
Metal ornamental streetlight poles shall be installed where required,
the poles to be of the general design and character of those installed in
new residential subdivisions since 1950. Electrical service connections to
said poles shall be by underground installations.
