New residential structures should harmonize in scale and massing with the existing historic structures in surrounding blocks. For instance, a narrow two-and-one-half-story structure should not be built in a block largely occupied by one-story bungalows.

New structures which will be larger than their neighbors should be designed in modules, with the greater part of the mass located away from the main facade to minimize the perceived bulk of the structure.

New residential structures should present their front door and major architectural facades to the primary street and not to the side or rear yard.

In some cases on corner lots, a corner entryway between two defining architectural facades may be appropriate.

Accessory structures shall be subordinate in size to the principal structure on the lot.

Accessory structures shall not be placed within the front setback. If placed in side yard, accessory structures shall not be located closer to the street than the front building line of the principal structure.

Accessory structures shall not be located closer than 10 feet to the rear and side property lines nor closer than 10 feet to the principal structure, unless otherwise indicated in this chapter. Storage sheds of less than 144 square feet may be located as close as three feet to the rear and side property lines.

On corner lots, accessory structures shall not be located between any portion of the principal structure and either street.

The maximum height of an accessory structure shall not exceed 18 feet or shall not be taller than the height of the principal structure, whichever is lower. In case of accessory structures that serve as outdoor storage sheds associated with a principal residential structure, the height limit shall be measured from grade for each level of the structure.

No part of any such structure, with the exception of accessory dwelling units as defined herein, shall be designed or used for sleeping purposes, and no cooking fixtures shall be placed or permitted therein.

Pools are subject to the accessory use provisions herein and subject to a building permit.

Outdoor play equipment, such as swing sets and similar large recreational structures which are typically anchored to the ground and are not easily relocated, shall be placed in side or rear yards.

A swimming pool accessory to a one- or two-family dwelling may be located within a rear yard subject to the setback requirements for accessory uses.

A swimming pool shall be enclosed by a fence or other enclosure at least four feet in height above the adjacent ground level, which pool shall be locked when unattended by an adult in order to prevent accidental or unauthorized entry.

All lights used for illumination of the pool area shall be appropriately located or shielded to eliminate direct sight of light bulbs from outside the property lines.

Portable pools and children's pools shall be covered or protected in a manner to prevent access by children of tender age when unattended unless and until the children are attended by an adult over 21 years of age. They are only permitted in the Borough from May 1 through September 30.

Customary and incidental accessory structures and uses shall be regulated as follows:

The permitted accessory buildings and uses include, but are not limited to, the following:

The maximum height of any structure other than a tower-based wireless communications facility is 65 feet or seven stories high.

The maximum height of any tower-based wireless communications facility is 100 feet. A variance may be requested on the basis that a gap in coverage cannot be eliminated through the use of a tower less than 100 feet in height and that there are no other locations that can eliminate the gap in coverage without a variance. A variance from the height restriction cannot exceed 50 feet from the limit, for a total permissible height of 150 feet.

Storage of merchandise and goods normally carried in stock in conjunction with the principal use on the same parcel or lot of ground.

Storage of goods used in, or produced by, manufacturing activities on the same parcel or lot of ground.

Off-street motor vehicle parking areas and loading and unloading areas.

When possible, as determined by the Borough Engineer, a proposed development shall share ingress and egress with surrounding existing developments and proposed developments. This will limit the amount of traffic entering and exiting Route 30. The goal is to have combined entrances and exits where retail stores, restaurants and other facilities share a combined parking space and shared ingress and egress onto the Route 30 corridor.

The potential development shall not change the character of the district as stated in § 260-62 above. Buildings shall not exceed the maximum building heights, maximum widths, and maximum square footages. The proposed developments shall not create a visual impact on the district due to the bulk and the size of the structure.

The proposed development shall not impact traffic patterns and/or the volume of traffic within the district, based upon a review by the Borough Engineer and a traffic study, if required by same.

The operation of the proposed development shall not impact the character of the neighborhood. Operational impacts include, but are not limited to, the following: management of traffic servicing the development, unloading inventory, on-site operations that would cause continuous use of the proposed development site. The proposed development shall not impact the character of surrounding developments. The proposed development shall not create operational impacts that may create additional expenses for the surrounding developments, including, but not limited to, the cost of monitoring the operational impacts. The developer who creates operational impacts, as described herein, may be charged additional, reasonable fees in order to cover the costs incurred by the Borough of Irwin for monitoring and inspecting the operation of the development. If, at the sole and exclusive discretion of the Borough of Irwin and/or the Zoning Hearing Board, it is determined that the proposed development adversely impacts the character of the surrounding areas, developments or proposed developments within the Borough of Irwin, such operations may be terminated by the Borough. The proposed development shall not create health and safety hazards that affect environmental and characteristic conditions of the district, including but not limited to noise emissions or vibrations, excessive smoke and air pollution emissions, and other potential safety and/or health hazards.

Buildings shall be clustered together to preserve natural and landscaped open areas along the corridor. Buildings shall be arranged in a manner that creates well-defined open space that is viewable from the traveled portion of the corridor.

The maximum height of any structure other than a tower-based wireless communications facility is 65 feet or seven stories high.

The maximum height of any tower-based wireless communications facility is 100 feet. A variance may be requested on the basis that a gap in coverage cannot be eliminated through the use of a tower less than 100 feet in height and that there are no other locations that can eliminate the gap in coverage without a variance. A variance from the height restriction cannot exceed 50 feet from the limit, for a total permissible height of 150 feet.

The maximum height for accessory structures shall not exceed 18 feet.

Storage of equipment, supplies and goods normally carried in stock in conjunction with the principal use on the same parcel or lot of ground.

Off-street motor vehicle parking areas and loading and unloading areas.

All planting for this district is required within the setback area to act as a buffer.

Existing vegetation. Trees and shrubs on the development parcel adjacent to the abutting agriculture, conservation or residential lot may be used to satisfy the buffer area planting requirements, provided that all performance standards regarding width, height and mix of types are met. The applicant may use a combination of existing and new planting to meet the buffer requirements.

Structures and parking.

Maintenance.

The development must not increase the flow of traffic within the district. A traffic impact analysis must be completed by a transportation engineer. The analysis must be inclusive of the following:

If the traffic impact analysis indicates that the proposed uses would generate more than 500 average daily trips or more than 75 additional a.m. or p.m. peak hour car trips per day, the applicant shall develop a traffic mitigation plan for approval by the Borough and all applicable state regulatory agencies.
