[Added 7-23-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-16]
A.
Purpose.
(1)
The State of New Jersey Uniform Construction
Code, N.J.S.A. 52:27D-126e, permits the governing body of any municipality
to provide by ordinance that no person shall be charged a construction
permit surcharge fee or enforcing agency fee for any construction,
reconstruction, alteration or improvement designed and undertaken
solely to promote accessibility by disabled persons to an existing
public or private structure or any of the facilities contained therein.
(2)
The governing body of the Borough of South River
believes that the promotion of such accessibility improvements in
residential buildings is for the public good.
B.
DISABLED PERSON
Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the
following definitions shall apply:
A person who has the total and permanent inability to engage
in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment, including blindness, and shall include,
but not be limited to, any resident of the Borough who is disabled
pursuant to the Federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 416),
or the Federal Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 (45 U.S.C. § 231
et seq.), or is rated as having a sixty-percent disability, or higher,
pursuant to any federal law administered by the United States Veterans'
Act. For the purposes of this definition, "blindness" means central
visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with the use of
a correcting lens. An eye which is accompanied by a limitation in
the fields of vision such that the widest diameter of the visual field
subtends an angle no greater than 20° shall be considered as having
a central visual acuity of 20/200 or less.
C.
Waiver of fees. A disabled person, or a parent or
sibling of a disabled person, shall not be required to pay any municipal
fee or charge in order to secure a construction permit for any construction,
reconstruction, alteration, or improvement which promotes accessibility
to his or her own living unit.
D.
Exclusions. This section specifically excludes accessibility
improvements made to buildings or structures devoted to commercial
use.
