The minimum cluster lot area (43,560 square feet) shall apply only to those lots located on soils that have a percolation rate of 30 minutes per inch or more and depth to ground water of 6 feet or more.

12.

The lot area requirement for a cluster lot shall increase in addition to the minimum in Subsection 12-3.10e,2. The minimum lot area for a cluster lot that does not meet the criteria in Subsection 12-3.5e,11 will be based on the calculation in the sections below.

13.

The lot area requirement for a standard lot shall increase in addition to the minimum in Subsection 12-3.9e only if the resultant lot size calculated from the formula below is greater than the minimum lot size for a standard lot (87,120 square feet).

14.

For those lots that do not meet the criteria in Subsection 12-3.53e (11 and 13), the lot area requirements shall be based upon the following calculation:

Total lot area =

43,560 sf + (43,560 sf x ((Perc. Rate (min/inch) - 30 min/inch)/30 min/inch) + (43,560 sf x (6 feet - Actual depth to G.W.)/2 ft)

For example: 40 minutes percolation rate 4.5 feet depth to SHWT

Total lot area =

43,560 sf +

[40 min/in -

x 43,560 sf

=43,560 + (43,560 sfx (10/30)) + (43,560 sf x (1.5 ft/2 ft))

=43,560 sf + 14,520 sf + 32,670 sf

=90,750 sf or 2.08 acres

15.

In the absence of any testing the following shall apply based on map classifications:

Natural drainage limitations

30 minutes

40 minutes

60+ minutes

Limitations for septic effluent disposal

6 feet

3 feet

1 foot

16.

All State Standards, specifically NJDEP Standards for the Construction of Individual Subsurface Sewage, as amended, shall apply.

17.

Minimum distance from any component of the disposal system to a property line or where applicable, the public right-of-way shall be 50 feet.

18.

Any development of 25 acres or more, which is immediately adjacent to an active agricultural operation, shall include a buffer area along the common property line, which shall consist of the requirement in Subsection 12-5.2. This buffer shall be included on the building lots.

19.

In order to limit nitrate and related pollutant buildup in ground water caused by septic systems, the use of a nitrate dilution model is required in development of lots. See Subsection 12-4.22 for background information and related definitions. The ground water nitrate concentrations for these developments shall be constrained by the potential for nitrate pollution of the aquifer as quantified by the pertinent Nitrate Dilution model using the parameters as defined below.

Minimum lot size shall be determined by the application of the equation listed above under Subsection 12-3.5f, 14 or the application the residential carrying capacity model as provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) utilizing the variables provided below. The minimum lot size required for this zoning district shall be the greater lot size calculated by the two above referenced models. Those areas considered to be watercourses and/or wetlands (except isolated wetlands) are not considered part of the acceptable recharge area and therefore shall not be permitted as contributing to the required area for minimum lot size.

(a)

Carrying-capacity formula variables:

(1)

Population density: The population density shall be based on demographic information from the American Housing Survey, Bureau of the Census, which provides the average household size for the northeast region according to the number of bedrooms proposed per dwelling unit.

(2)

N03 TARGET: 3mg/l.

(3)

Soil type: Dependent on parcel location. If more than one soil type exists on the parcel, the resultant lot size shall be the sum of the model outputs for each soil type divided by the percentage of area the soil type covers on the parcel. In the absence of on-site soil samples, the soil type shall be determined by utilizing the Burlington County Soil Survey mapping, If there is a discrepancy between on-site soil boring results and the Burlington County Soil Survey mapping, the results of at least 3 soil samples in the area of discrepancy shall be considered the correct input for the formula variable. The NJDEP recharge model excludes hydric soils, wetlands, and waterways. Those areas considered to be watercourses and/or wetlands (except isolated wetlands) are not considered part of the acceptable recharge area and therefore shall not be permitted as contributing to the required area for minimum lot size. For isolated wetlands, when the NJDEP model is applied and the soil type does not result in a recharge value, a soil type with an equivalent recharge factor and recharge constant to the hydric soil or wetland may be substituted in the model.
