Manalapan Township City Zoning Code
§ 95-11.3
Cost allocation.
A.
Full allocation. In cases where off-tract improvements are necessitated by the proposed development, and where no other property owner(s) receive(s) a special benefit thereby or where neither the Township nor any other government entity has planned or programmed or accepted the responsibility for any portion of the cost of the improvements, the applicant may be required at the applicant's sole expense and as a condition of approval, to provide and install such improvements.
B.
Proportionate allocation.
(1)
Where it is determined that properties outside the development will also be benefited by the off-tract improvements, and where either the Township or any other government entity has planned or programmed or accepted the responsibility for any portion of the cost of the improvement, the following criteria shall be utilized in determining the proportionate share of the cost of such improvements to the developer.
(2)
Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the municipal agency and the developer from agreeing to use a different method to allocate cost.
(3)
Allocation formula.
(a)
Water supply. The applicant's proportionate share of water distribution, supply, treatment, and storage facilities including the installation, relocation or replacement of water, mains, hydrants, valves, and appurtenances associated therewith, shall be computed as follows:
[1]
The capacity and the design of the water supply system shall be based on the standards specified in Article IX of this chapter, computed by the developer's engineer and approved by the Municipal Engineer.
[2]
The Municipal Engineer shall provide the applicant with the existing and reasonably anticipated peak-hour flows as well as capacity limits or the affected water system in terms of average demand, peak demand, and fire demand;
[3]
If the required system does not exist or the existing system does not have adequate capacity to accommodate the applicant's flow given existing and reasonably anticipated peak hour and fire flows, the pro rata share shall be computed to be the larger of:
[a]
The partial cost of a shared improvement where none now exists:
Total cost of | Capacity of improvement | ||
|---|---|---|---|
improvement | = | (gallons per day) | |
Developer's cost | Development-generated | ||
design flow to be accommodated | |||
by the improvement (gpd) or |
[b]
The total cost of an improvement designed to accommodate only the development flow, if such an alternative is technically possible; or
[c]
The partial cost of a shared improvement where the existing improvement has insufficient capacity:
Capacity of enlargement or | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Total cost of enlarge- | improvement in excess of | ||
ment or improvement | = | existing capacity (gpd) | |
Developer's cost | Development-generated | ||
design flow to be accommodated | |||
by the enlargement or | |||
improvement (gpd) |
(b)
Roadways. The applicant's proportionate share of street improvements, alignment, channelization, barriers, new or improved traffic signalization, signs, curbs, sidewalks, trees, utility improvements uncovered elsewhere, the construction or reconstruction of new or existing streets, and other associated street or traffic improvements shall be as follows:
[1]
The Municipal Engineer or planner shall provide the applicant with the existing and reasonably anticipated future peak-hour volumes for the off-tract improvements.
[2]
The applicant shall furnish, for approval by the Municipal Engineer, the estimated peak-hour traffic generated by the proposed development and the proportion thereof which is to be accommodated by the proposed off-tract improvement.
[3]
If the required improvements do not exist or if the existing system does not have adequate capacity to accommodate reasonably anticipated volumes, the pro rata share shall be the larger of:
[a]
The partial cost of a shared improvement where none now exists:
Capacity of | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Total cost of | improvement | ||
or improvement | = | (peak-hour volume) | |
Developer's cost | Development traffic | ||
to be accommodated | |||
by the enlargement or | |||
improvement (peak-hour | |||
volume) or |
[b]
The total cost of an improvement designed to accommodate only the development traffic volume if such an alternative is technically possible; or
[c]
The partial cost of a shared improvement where the existing improvement has insufficient capacity:
Capacity of enlargement | |||
|---|---|---|---|
or improvement in excess | |||
Total cost of enlarge- | existing capacity | ||
ment or improvement | = | (peak-hour volume) | |
Developer's cost | Development traffic to be | ||
accommodated by the | |||
enlargement or improvement | |||
(peak-hour volume) |
(c)
Drainage improvements. The applicant's proportionate share of stormwater and drainage improvements including the installation, relocation and replacement of storm drains, bridges, culverts, catch basins, manholes, riprap, detention or retention basins, improved drainage ditches and appurtenances thereto, and relocation or replacement of other storm drainage facilities or appurtenances associated therewith, shall be determined as follows:
[1]
The capacity and the design of the drainage to accommodate stormwater runoff shall be based on the standards specified in Article IX of this chapter, computed by the developer's engineer and approved by the Municipal Engineer. The effect of on-site detention, if any, is to be neglected.
[2]
The capacity of the enlarged, extended, or improved system required for the subdivision and areas outside of the developer's tributary to the drainage system shall be determined by the developer's engineer subject to approval of the Municipal Engineer. The plans for the improved system may be prepared by the developer's engineer or the Municipal Engineer at the developer's expense and the estimated cost of the enlarged system calculated by the Municipal Engineer.
[3]
If the required improvements do not exist or if the existing system does not have adequate capacity to accommodate reasonably anticipated volumes, the pro rata share shall be the larger of:
[a]
The partial cost of a shared improvement where none now exists:
Total cost of | Capacity of improvement | ||
|---|---|---|---|
improvement | = | (cfs - peak 25-year storm) | |
Developer's cost | Development-generated peak | ||
runoff to be accommodated by | |||
the enlargement or improvement | |||
(cfs peak 25-year storm) or |
[b]
The total cost of an improvement designed to accommodate only the development flow, if such an alternative is technically possible; or
[c]
The partial cost of a shared improvement where the existing improvement has insufficient capacity:
Capacity of | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Total cost of enlargement | improvement | ||
or improvement cost | = | (cfs peak) | |
Developer's cost | Development-generated | ||
peak runoff to be accommodated | |||
by the improvement (cfs) |
