All developments shall be serviced by paved public streets. The arrangement of streets not shown on the Master Plan shall be such as to provide for appropriate extension of existing streets and should conform with the topography, as far as practicable, and allow for continued extension into adjoining undeveloped tracts.

When a new development adjoins land capable of being further developed; suitable provisions shall be made for optimum vehicular access of the remaining and/or adjoining tract to existing or proposed streets, including the possibility of a sketch of a feasible plan for vehicular access to the adjoining lands.

Any site improvements associated with any application for residential subdivision, site plan approval or variance before the Land Development Board shall be governed by N.J.A.C. 5:21 et al., "Residential Site Improvement Standards" (RSIS), except where a deminimus exemption has been granted by the approving authority or a special standard. These rules shall control all matters concerning the construction, alteration, addition, repair, removal, demolition, maintenance, and use of any site improvements constructed by a developer in connection with residential developments including streets, roads, parking facilities, sidewalks, drainage structures, grading, and utilities.

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

In all residential districts, development bounded by an arterial or collector street shall control access to said streets by having all driveways intersect minor streets.

In the event that a development adjoins or includes existing Township streets that do not conform to the street width requirements of this chapter and RSIS, additional land along both sides of said street sufficient to conform to the right-of-way requirements shall be required in the development design. If the development is along one side only, at least 1/2 of the required extra width shall be required. Moreover, a portion of the existing street or road adjoining or included within a development shall be improved, including excavation, grading, base and surface courses.

No street shall have a name, which duplicates or so nearly duplicates in spelling or phonetic sound the name of an existing street within the Township or a nearby street of an adjacent municipality. The continuation of an existing street shall have the same name. The approving authority must approve the names of new streets.

Sight triangles shall be required at each corner of an intersection of streets and at intersections of streets and driveways serving nonresidential and multifamily housing developments. Driveways shall be classified as a local street for purposes of establishing distances. The area within sight triangles shall be either dedicated as part of the street right-of-way or kept as part of the lot and identified as a sight triangle easement. No grading, planting, or structure shall be erected or maintained more than 30 inches above the centerline grade of the intersecting street or driveway or lower than 10 feet above their centerlines, excluding street name signs and official traffic regulation signs. Where any intersection involves earth banks or vegetation, including trees, the developer shall trim or selectively thin trees and grade to provide the sight triangle. Where a street or driveway intersects a State or County road, the sight triangle shall conform to State or County requirements. The sight triangle is that area bounded by the intersecting street lines and a straight line connecting sight points located on each of the two intersecting street lines the following distances from the point of intersection:

Where the intersecting streets are both arterial, both collectors or one arterial and one collector, two overlapping sight triangles shall be required, formed by connecting the sight points noted above with a sight point 35 feet on the intersecting street. The classifications of existing and proposed streets shall be those shown on the adopted Master Plan or as designated by the approving authority where a new street is not included on the Master Plan.

A sight triangle easement shall be expressed on the plat as follows: "Sight triangle easement subject to grading, planting and construction restrictions as provided in the Township of Southampton Development Regulations Ordinance."

Portions of a lot set aside for the sight triangle may be included in determining the lot area and minimum setbacks required by the zoning provisions.

Concrete curb, Belgian block curb shall be installed at all street intersections.

The standard curb section shall be 10 feet in length with preformed bituminous cellular-type expansion joint material on not more than twenty-foot centers and shall be set in accordance with approved lines and grades, and radial curbs shall be formed in a smooth curve. The finish shall be a smooth float finish with corners rounded. Concrete curbs shall be six by eight by 18 inches (six inches exposed face), having a twenty-eight-day compressive strength of 4,000 pounds per square inch, and shall be air-entrained.

Barrier-free curb ramps shall be constructed in accordance with the Design Standards for Curb Ramps for the Physically Handicapped of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

Where curbs are waived or where alternate curbs are allowed, such as granite block or rolled concrete curb, an appropriate method of stabilizing the edge of paving, controlling erosion and managing stormwater shall be incorporated in the design.

Curb requirements shall vary according to street hierarchy and intensity of development in accordance with the requirements set forth in Table 4.3 in N.J.A.C. 5:21-4.2.
