Surface and curbing. All on-site off-street parking and loading areas and access driveways shall be paved and curbed as determined by the Borough Engineer and approved by the Borough.

Location of parking spaces. All required off-street parking spaces shall be located on the same lot or premises as the use served, except that in cases when it is determined that the requirements for on-site off-street parking cannot be met because of existing conditions, the location and adequacy of off-street parking spaces to service the use shall be specified on a site plan for approval by the Planning Board. In the case of uses other than detached dwellings, no parking facility shall have an access to or from Ocean Avenue or extend within 150 feet of the westerly right-of-way line of Ocean Avenue.

In the case of "for sale" and "for rent" signs, the following additional criteria shall apply:

"Open house" signs. Such a sign may be displayed on the property in addition to a "for sale" or "for rent" sign if the broker or owner is having an "open house" that has been publicly advertised in newspapers or in the realtor's multiple listing system.

Freestanding signs. Freestanding signs are permitted, provided that the sign is located on the premises and identifies that particular use and subject to the following conditions:

Awnings and awnings as signs. Awnings are permitted as accessory structures, accessory to the building to which they are affixed, in accordance with the following criteria:

Lighting and illuminated signs. All illuminated signs are subject to the following limitations:

Directory signs. In addition to other signage, a building with businesses and offices that do not have exposure on the street level, such as an office building, is permitted either, but not both, of the following:

Sidewalk signs. Food service businesses are permitted the use of free-standing sidewalk sandwich signs, hand-lettered menu boards, and any chalk board signage indicating specials. The maximum dimensions are to be 24 inches in width and 48 inches in height, and must be displayed within 30 inches of the food service business, maintaining a safe, continuous path of four feet for pedestrians.

Box signs. Box signs are not permitted. Existing box signs shall be removed upon change of tenant unless the name of the business remains exactly the same.

Real estate listing signs. Real estate businesses are allowed to display real estate listing signs in the lower half of their windows provided that the signs are kept neat and orderly.

Window covering during construction. Windows must be covered with white paper to include the name of the new business and an approximate opening date. The window covering should be neat and maintained.

Blinds and shades on first floor storefronts. Retail storefronts shall not have curtains, blinds, or shades closed covering more than 25% of the window area.

Change of tenants. All signage shall be removed from the façade of a building within ten days of the tenant vacating the space.

Miscellaneous provisions.

The minimum public street right-of-way for municipal streets shall be as approved by the Borough, but in no case shall any municipal street have less than a fifty-foot right-of-way. Concerning streets under Monmouth County jurisdiction, the county recommendations shall prevail.

The pavement width of streets and the quality of surfacing and base materials shall adhere to the standards set forth by the Borough, county or state engineers when said paving concerns the roads under their jurisdiction.

Glenwood Avenue.

Edgewood Place.

Valandora Court.

The minimum slope of an unpaved yard surface shall be 1 1/2% except for well-defined swales which shall have a minimum slope of 1%.

The minimum slope on a paved yard surface shall be 1%.

The maximum slope of an unpaved yard surface shall be 10% within five feet of a structure and 25% elsewhere.

The maximum slope of a paved yard surface shall be 5% except for a driveway which shall have a maximum slope of 10%.

All plans must conform to the most recent stormwater management regulations.[1]

Each dry well or seepage pit shall provide a minimum of 75 cubic feet of storage volume exclusive of the perimeter stone. A minimum of one cubic foot of storage volume exclusive of the perimeter stone shall be provided for each 12 square feet of roof area tributary to the dry well.

The dry wells shall be a minimum of two feet above the groundwater table and have a minimum of one foot of cover. They shall be located a minimum of 10 feet from any structure or property line and shall not be located under an impervious surface.

The dry well shall be placed on, and be surrounded on the sides by, a six-inch layer of stone wrapped with a geotextile material to prevent migration of the backfill material into the stone.

Overflows to the yard surface shall be provided at each leader pipe in case of back up of the dry well.

Basement floor slabs shall be a minimum of two foot above the seasonal high groundwater elevation.

Single-family homes. Space should be allowed in the kitchen, laundry room, basement or the garage for storage of recyclables. Approximately three square feet of floor area will adequately hold a week's accumulation of recyclables. Municipalities with biweekly or monthly collection may need to allow extra space for material storage. This is enough space to hold either a three-tier unit of three or four five-gallon buckets.

Condominiums/townhouses/apartment buildings. Each individual unit should be designed to accommodate a week's accumulation of paper, glass and metals. This can be accomplished by allowing space under the sink area or in a closet for a three-tier stacking unit or for five-gallon buckets. This would occupy only three square feet of floor area and would give residents a convenient area for storing their recyclables. A central location should be provided so that residents can drop off their source-separated recyclables for storage until collection occurs. A suggested location for these sites would be near the refuse receptacle units. These could be outdoor recycling bins located near the refuse units or in a common area of the condominium units, e.g., near the laundry room. These storage areas should be easily accessible for the residents of the building to drop off their materials. They should also be planned with truck access in mind in order to facilitate loading of materials for delivery to markets. In a multistory building, a space provided on each floor will produce the highest participation rates. The bins should be clearly labeled so it is obvious they are for recyclables and not trash.

Commercial establishments. Developers of commercial establishments generating a homogenous waste stream must have a plan for recycling these materials. The most likely materials will be office paper, corrugated containers, glass, tin cans and food waste. In order to determine the amount of space required, cubic-yard equivalents have been given for the number of bottles or cans.

Office paper. The average office worker generates 3/4 pounds of office paper per week. The loading dock areas should be designed for interim storage of Gaylord containers or hampers. These containers are approximately four feet by four feet by four feet and hold approximately 500 pounds of paper. The size of the storage area required will be dependent on the number of workers in the buildings and the frequency with which the vendor picks up the materials.

Corrugated containers. Because corrugated is a particularly bulky item for disposal, it needs to be flattened and baled, compacted or tied in bundles. Space will be required for storage of materials prior to pickup by either a paper vendor or a recycling contractor. The amount of space required for storage will depend on the amount of material generated by the establishment, and whether the material is baled, tied in bundles or stored in a compactor.

Glass. The simplest method for storing glass, after it has been separated by color, is by purchasing or leasing a glass crusher. This will obviously allow more glass to be stored in a smaller space. If this is not available, glass will need to be rinsed, color separated and stored in fifty-five-gallon drums, in small dumpsters or in four-by-four-by-four pallet boxes which can be loaded by a fork lift. There are approximately three twelve-ounce bottles in a pound, and one cubic yard of whole bottles weighs 600 pounds or approximately 900 twelve-ounce bottles.

Tin cans. A commercial establishment generating ferrous (tin-plated steel) cans, which are used for food storage, in large quantities may be required to recycle them. For sanitary reasons, cans should be rinsed before storing. There are approximately 12 cans in a pound and approximately 1,800 cans in a cubic yard.

Food waste. Food waste is any edible waste material resulting from the handling, preparation, processing, cooking or consumption of food.

The chairs and tables shall be either black, forest green or hunter green in color and shall be constructed of the materials as established by resolution.

At all times there shall remain a minimum of three feet of clearance for pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk.

There shall be no electric fixtures other than those installed on the exterior wall of the building. Any exterior lighting shall be controlled by timers and shall not illuminate any area beyond the area directly in front of the structure utilized for the café.

The business operator shall keep trash cans inside the business establishment at all times.

All paper products and condiments shall remain inside the business establishment.
