The arrangement of streets not shown on the master plan or official map shall be such as to provide for the appropriate extension of existing streets.

(Prior code § 13-28.1)

Minor streets shall be so designed as to discourage through traffic.

(Prior code § 13-28.2)

(Prior code § 13-28.3)

The following right-of-way widths, easements and setbacks are required. The right-of-way width shall be measured from lot line to lot line. The easement shall occur on the lot. The setbacks shall be measured from the lot line.

* Note: Cartway widths will be established by the Gloucester County Engineer.

* The right-of-way width for internal roads and alleys in multifamily, commercial and industrial development shall be determined on an individual basis and, in all cases, shall be of sufficient width and design to safely accommodate the maximum traffic, parking and loading needs and maximum access for firefighting equipment, all of which shall be subject to approval by the township engineer and fire marshall or fire commissioner.

(Prior code § 13-28.4)

No subdivision showing reserve strips controlling access to streets shall be approved except where the control and disposal of land comprising such strips has been placed in the township committee under conditions approved by the planning board.

(Prior code § 13-28.5)

Street grades shall conform in general to the terrain and to state and county road design requirements, as well as those established by the township. Where no applicable design requirements exist, the following shall be complied with, except in instances where certification has been obtained from the township engineer that exact conformity is not feasible:

(Prior code § 13-28.6)

Street intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as is possible and in no case shall be less than sixty (60) degrees. The block corners at intersections shall be rounded at the curbline, with a curve having a radius of not less than twenty (20) feet.

(Prior code § 13-28.7)

Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than one hundred twenty-five (125) feet shall be prohibited.

(Prior code § 13-28.8)

A.

A tangent at least one hundred (100) feet long shall be introduced between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets.

B.

When connecting street lines deflect from each other at any one point by more than ten degrees and not more than forty-five (45) degrees, they shall be connected by a curve with a radius of not less than one hundred (100) feet for minor streets and three hundred (300) feet for arterial and collector streets. When connecting streets deflect from each other at any point by more than forty-five (45) degrees, they shall not be connected by a curve with a radius of not less than five hundred (500) feet.

C.

All changes in grade shall be connected by vertical curves of sufficient radius to provide a smooth transition and proper sight distance as determined by the township engineer.

(Prior code § 13-28.9)

Dead-end streets, culs-de-sac, shall not be longer than six hundred (600) feet and shall provide a turnaround at the end with a radius of not less than fifty (50) feet to the outside edge of the cartway and sixty (60) feet to the outside edge of the right-of-way, and tangent, whenever possible, to the right side of the street.

If a dead-end street is of a temporary nature, a similar turnaround shall be provided and provisions made for future extension of the street and reversion of the excess right-of-way to the adjoining properties.

(Prior code § 13-28.10)

No street shall have a name which will duplicate, or so nearly duplicate, as to be confused with the names of existing streets. The continuation of an existing street shall have the same name. All names of new streets shall be approved by the planning board.

(Prior code § 13-28.11)

A.

Design features such as multilegged intersections with more than four legs, acute angle, V-type intersections and job intersections, should be avoided.

B.

Continuous through local streets extending from one major street to another should be avoided.

C.

Four-legged intersections should be used infrequently, although they are not objectionable where noncontinuous local streets join the collector street. T-type intersections should be used more frequently.

D.

Developments of more than twenty-five (25) units shall have two means of access and egress on public streets, which conform to township ordinances.

E.

Developments bisected by any natural gas transmission pipeline right-of-way shall have a separate means of access and egress for the land area on each side of the pipeline right-of-way. At least one access shall connect to a public street. The second access may be designed for emergency purposes and not connect to a public street.

(Ord. 3-1996 § 1; prior code § 13-28.12)

The access road and the area to each side thereof, for a distance of eight feet on each side of the pavement of such road and for a height of fourteen (14) feet from the surface of the road, shall be kept free and clear of tree limbs, vines and other obstructions to permit free and unobstructed view of the access road by emergency vehicles.

(Prior code § 13-28.13)

The pavement thickness design, as a minimum, shall conform to the following schedule:

Thickness may be determined by the certified results of soil testing and analysis conducted by the applicant to determine the bearing strength at the subgrade soil together with the projected use of the street or highway with an adequate margin to cover all contingencies and extraordinary conditions. Where such pavement tests are conducted, the pavement design must be reviewed by and approved by the township engineer, and in no event shall the paving be less than six inches of Type I-5 subbase, with two inches of bituminous stabilized base and two inches of FABC-1 surface.

(Prior code § 13-28.14)

A.

Street lighting shall be installed by the subdivider in locations approved by the township committee, in accordance with the township's street lighting policy. The lighting plan must be submitted to planning board for review prior to approval being granted.

For residential street usage, sixteen (16) foot high laminated wood poles shall be spaced at a minimum distance of four hundred (400) feet, with fifty (50) watt high pressure sodium luminaires.

C.

At residential intersections, sixteen (16) foot high laminated wood poles shall be placed with a one hundred (100) watt high pressure sodium luminaire.

D.

At any intersection of two residential streets, a twenty-five (25) foot high laminated wood pole shall be placed with a one hundred fifty (150) watt high pressure sodium luminaire.

E.

The township will assume the operating expense for street lights in a particular section of township dedicated rights-of-way upon installation where the developer shall assume the instant cost of conduit and lighting fixtures.
