Detail the short-term and long-term impact of the proposed commercial development on the street system of a transportation impact area which area shall be determined by the Township Engineer.

Include data on existing street conditions in the impact area, including roadway width, condition, traffic volume and flow, projected levels of service, operating speeds, land use conflicts and safety.

Provide five-year and twenty-year forecasts of the average daily vehicle trips which will be generated by the proposed commercial development plan and distribute and assign these trips to the most probable travel paths over the adjacent street system.

Identify measures needed to safely accommodate the future traffic and the means for implementation of such measures, including measures for providing safe and adequate railroad crossings.

Include all data, computations and information pertinent to the traffic study, and such supplementary information and projections as Council or the Township Engineer may require to clarify or justify the findings of the traffic study.

Floodway delineation. One-hundred-year floodways shall be delineated as per the provisions of the current Township ordinance.[1] Within the floodway, the following uses and activities having a low flood damage potential and not obstructing flood flows shall be permitted, provided that they are in compliance with the provisions of the underlying district and are not prohibited by any other ordinance, and do not require structures, fill or storage of materials and equipment:

Floodplains. A normally dry land area adjacent to stream channels that is susceptible to being inundated by overbank stream flows. Development activities shall be regulated as per the provisions of the current Township ordinance.

Steep slopes. In areas of steep slopes, i.e., those 15% and above, the following standards shall apply:

Forest. No more than 50% of any forest, as defined, may be cleared or developed.

Ponds, watercourses or wetlands. No development, filling, piping or diverting shall be permitted except for required roads and utility line extensions, unless permitted by the appropriate state, county or regulatory agency.

Stormwater drainage and management. All plans shall comply with the provisions of Chapter 385, Part 1, Stormwater Management Regulations, and all amendments thereto.

Soil erosion and sedimentation. With any earth disturbance, there shall be control of erosion and the protection of streams and ponds from sedimentation in accordance with the Clean Streams Law, P.L. 1987,[2] Chapter 102 of Title 25 of the Pennsylvania Code, and the "Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Manual" of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. In addition, a Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ES and SC Plan) shall be required as part of the application for any Township permit where earth disturbance or excavation will occur. As a minimum, where sediment can be transported away from the disturbed area, a silt fence or straw bale barrier shall be erected and maintained in working order until vegetation is fully established or erosion-resistant ground cover has been installed. Additional sediment pollution control measures may be required where land development is more extensive than single-family construction.

No highly flammable, explosive or toxic liquids, solids or gases shall be stored in bulk [over (500) gallons], above ground, except tanks or drums of fuel connected directly with energy devices or heating appliances located and operated on the same lot as the tanks or drums of fuel.

All permanent bulk outdoor storage facilities for fuel over 500 gallons, raw materials and products, and all fuel, raw materials and products stored outdoors, shall be enclosed by an approved safety fence.

No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon a lot in such form or manner that they may be transported off the lot by natural causes or forces; nor shall any substance which can contaminate wells, watercourses, or potable water supplies otherwise render such wells, watercourses, or potable water supplies undesirable as sources of water supply or recreation; nor shall any substance which will destroy aquatic life be allowed to enter any wells, watercourses, or potable water supplies. A Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection approved plan for spill containment shall be submitted to the Township for review by the Township Engineer prior to the issuance of any required permit.

Any materials or wastes which might cause fumes or dust or which constitute a fire hazard or which may be edible or otherwise attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only if enclosed in containers adequate to eliminate such hazards.

All nonconforming storage and waste disposal facilities must be brought into conformity with this article within three years of the adoption of these chapter amendments.

Residential uses: in excess of 60 dBa for a two-hour duration.

Commercial uses: in excess of 65 dBa for more than eight hours during a twenty-four-hour period.

Industrial uses: in excess of 75 dBa for eight hours during a twenty-four-hour period.

Weeds and grass shall be cut prior to their growing to such height as they will go to seed.

All portions of the property shall be kept free of junk, debris, disabled motor vehicles, and dangerous, objectionable or noxious material.

In industrial and commercially zoned areas, all vehicles and movable equipment repair done on the property shall be performed within an enclosed building, except that minor maintenance activities may be completed on the exterior of a lot where space has been provided for the temporary parking or storage of vehicles and movable equipment.

In residentially zoned areas, minor vehicle maintenance activities on vehicles owned by the occupant may be conducted in driveways, but in no case shall repairs be made on vehicles and movable equipment which would result in the storage of said vehicles or movable equipment on the exterior of the lot for more than 48 hours.
