The arrangements of streets not shown on the Master Plan or Official Map shall be such as to provide for the appropriate extension of existing streets.

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

Subdivisions abutting arterial streets shall be designed in such a manner that a buffer strip, a minimum of 25 feet wide, planted with trees and shrubs alongside the arterial street shall be created. Driveways shall not be permitted to enter to the arterial streets. In the event that the physical limitations of the property are such that this twenty-five-foot buffer strip cannot be provided, then the Planning Board may consider approving a marginal service road between the arterial street and the building lots, with a buffer strip planted with trees and shrubs between the arterial street and the service road.

The right-of-way width shall be measured from lot line to lot line and shall not be less than the following:

No subdivision showing reserve strips controlling access to streets shall be approved except where the control and disposal of land comprising such has been placed in the governing body under conditions approved by the Planning Board.

Subdivisions that adjoin or include existing streets that do not conform to widths as shown on the Master Plan or Official Map or the street width requirements of this chapter shall dedicate additional width along either one or both sides of said road. If the subdivision is along one side only, one-half (1/2) of the required extra width shall be dedicated.

No street grade shall be greater than 10% except where the topography of the land to be subdivided is such as to make it impossible, otherwise, to develop such land the Planning Board may, in its discretion, approve grades in excess of 10% but in no case in excess of 12%. No street shall have a minimum grade of less than one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%). Street intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as possible and in no case shall be less than 60º.

The block corners at intersections shall be rounded off not less than 25 feet.

Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than 125 feet shall be prohibited.

A tangent at least 100 feet long shall be introduced between reverse curves on all streets.

When connecting street lines deflect from each other at any one point by more than 10º and not more than 45º, they shall be connected by a curve with a radius of not less than 100 feet for minor streets and 300 feet for arterial and collector streets.

All changes in grade shall be connected by vertical curves of sufficient radius to provide a smooth transition and proper sight distance.

Dead-end streets (culs-de-sac) shall not be longer than 600 feet and shall provide a turnaround at the end with a radius of not less than 50 feet and tangent, whenever possible, to the right side of the street. If a dead-end street is of a temporary nature, a similar turnaround shall be provided and provisions made for future extension of the street and reversion of the excess right-of-way to the adjoining properties.

No street shall have a name which will duplicate or so nearly duplicate as to be confused with the names of existing streets. The continuation of an existing street shall have the same name.

All streets shall be installed and paved in accordance with the Road Construction Ordinance of the Borough of Stanhope.

Street signs of the same size, durability, quality, design and size as those used generally throughout the Borough or the equivalent thereof shall be provided by the developer and installed at one corner of each street intersection. All street signs shall be installed free of visual obstruction. Where traffic signs are deemed necessary by the Borough Engineer, such signs shall be installed at the expense of the developer.

Guardrails. When the Borough Engineer determines that guardrails, warning rails and other reasonable protective features are required for public safety, they shall be installed by the developer in accordance with New Jersey Department of Transportation standards.

All streets shall have concrete or Belgian block curbing. Gutters shall be installed, wherever required, for proper drainage as determined by the Borough Engineer. All curb and gutter construction shall be in accordance with the New Jersey Department of Transportation Standards Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, as amended.

In the case of site plans, subdivision and variance applications, sidewalks shall be constructed on both sides of new streets and in front of the full frontage of the subject premises on existing streets. Sidewalks shall be constructed 48 inches in width and shall be located no closer than six inches to the property line so as to allow sufficient area for the installation of monuments, as required.

Streetlighting, if required, shall be installed in accordance with the specifications to be described by Borough ordinance.

Block length and width or acreage within bounding roads shall be such as to accommodate the size of lot required in the area by the zoning regulations and to provide for convenient access, circulation control and safety of street traffic.

For all other uses, block sizes shall be sufficient to meet all area and yard requirements for such use.

Lot dimension and area shall be no less than the requirements of the zoning regulations.

Insofar as is practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight streets and radial to curved streets.

Each lot must front upon an approved street at least 50 feet in right-of-way width.

Where extra width has been dedicated for widening of existing streets, lots shall begin at such extra right-of-way line, and all setbacks shall be measured from such line.

Where there is a question as to the suitability of a lot or lots for their intended use due to factors such as rock formation, severe topographical condition, flood conditions or environmental circumstance, the Planning Board may, after adequate investigation, withhold approval of such lots.

In large-scale developments, easements along rear property lines or elsewhere for utility installation may be required. Such easements shall be at least 20 feet wide and located in consultation with the companies or municipal departments concerned.

Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided a stormwater easement or drainage right-of-way conforming substantially with the lines of such watercourse and the further width or construction, or both, as will be adequate for the purpose.

Natural features, such as trees, brooks, hilltops and views shall be preserved whenever possible in designing any subdivision containing such features.

Dwelling and residential buildings shall be designed so as to prevent uniformity in exterior design and appearance of neighboring dwellings situated on adjoining lots on the same or opposite sides of the street.

Dwellings and residential buildings shall be considered uniform in exterior design and appearance if the same basic dimensions and floor plans are used without substantial differentiations in any three of the following:

Houses of worship may be permitted based upon the following conditions:

Continuing care facilities may be permitted based upon the following conditions:

Nursing homes may be permitted based upon the following conditions:

Child-care centers may be permitted based upon the following conditions:

Home occupations may be permitted based upon the following conditions:

Cannabis retailers may be permitted as a conditional use in accordance with the following conditions, below:

For all major subdivisions, the applicant shall arrange with the serving utilities for the underground installation of the utilities' (including transformer) distribution supply lines and service connections, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable standard terms and conditions incorporated as a part of its tariff as the same are then on file with the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utility Commissioners, and shall submit to the Planning Board, prior to the granting of final approval, a written instrument from each serving utility which shall evidence full compliance with the provisions of this section, provided that lots in such subdivisions which abut existing streets where overhead electric or telephone distribution supply lines have theretofore been installed on any portion of the streets involved may be supplied with electric and telephone service from such overhead lines or extensions thereof, but the service connections from the utilities' overhead lines shall be installed underground. Wherever the utility is not installed in the public right-of-way, an appropriate utility easement not less than 20 feet in width shall be provided.

Whenever any portion of a lot proposed for subdivision or site plan development is located within 400 feet of an existing sanitary sewer line, the design of the development must include sanitary sewer installation in accordance with municipal standards.

Whenever any portion of a lot proposed for subdivision or site plan development fronts on a public road and is within 400 feet of an existing public waterline in that road, the design of the development must include public waterline installation in accordance with the municipal standards.

Streetlights shall be installed along all new or improved streets, including but not limited to intersections with existing streets.

In any particular situation where the applicant can clearly demonstrate that, because of unusual topographic or other unusual conditions of the land, the installation of such utilities is impractical or not feasible, then the applicant may apply to the Planning Board for design waiver. The Board shall, after hearing the evidence of the applicant and others, make a decision whether to waive such requirements based upon the advice of the Borough Engineer. The need for the construction of booster pumps and/or storage facilities, to meet the potable water requirements of a subdivision, shall not be deemed as unusual conditions to waive the requirement for the provision of a potable water supply.

No site plan or application for development submitted to the Planning Board pursuant to the developmental regulations of the Borough of Stanhope will be granted approval unless it includes a soil and sedimentation control erosion plan approved by the Sussex County Soil Conservation District, except for the following:

General design principles. Control measures shall apply to all aspects of the proposed site development involving land disturbance and shall be in operation during all stages of the disturbance activity. The following principles shall apply to the soil erosion and sediment control plan:

Maintenance. All necessary soil erosion and sediment control measures installed under this chapter shall be adequately maintained for one year after completion of the approved soil erosion and sediment control plan or such longer period of time as the Borough Engineer may determine shall be necessary to permanently stabilize the effect of all soil erosion control measures to be undertaken according to the approved soil erosion and sediment control plan. The Borough Engineer shall give the applicant, upon request, a written certification indicating the date upon which he approved the completion by the applicant of the measures specified in the approved soil erosion and sediment control plan.

Maintenance guaranty. The Planning Board shall require a maintenance guaranty to ensure the maintenance of all measures as required by Subsection B(4) in an amount satisfactory to the Borough Engineer. Said guaranty shall be in the form of a cash deposit or a maintenance bond in such form and with such sureties as may be required by the Borough Attorney.

For all new buildings or additions to existing buildings, off-street parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with the following schedule:

Uses similar or related to one of the above uses shall provide adequate off-street parking in accordance with the above standards. For all other uses, a minimum requirement of one off-street parking space for each 200 square feet of building floor area shall be applied.

For all residential buildings, regardless of the district in which they may be located, and for all nonresidential buildings in residential zone districts, required parking shall be provided on the same lot with the building.

For all other nonresidential buildings, the required parking shall be provided within 150 feet of the use.

All off-street parking should be located in the front, side or rear yard. Such parking shall be no closer than 10 feet to any property line, except when provided in conjunction with a single-family residential use.

All parking spaces in the High Density Zones shall be related to the dwelling unit so that the maximum walking distance therefrom to the exterior building of any dwelling unit shall not exceed 200 feet. Parking on any private street within the entire development shall be prohibited and shall be confined to areas specifically designated on the site plan for that purpose. Parking spaces should not be constructed closer than 30 feet to any building. Parking areas may be constructed only in rear and side yards but in no event closer than 50 feet to any side or rear line.

Parking areas for business uses are permitted in the residential zones that are contiguous to the business zones, provided that all the requirements of § 100-124 are complied with, and further provided that:

Paving requirements.

There shall be a five-foot sidewalk, at least five inches above the parking area pavement, between any building and a parking area or drive of any retail sales or service establishment.

All parking spaces within parking areas shall be at least ten by twenty (10 x 20) feet, with the exception of parking spaces for the handicapped which shall be twelve by twenty (12 x 20) feet, and clearly and legibly marked with white paint on the pavement showing the parking arrangement within the parking area. Handicapped spaces must also be provided with a painted handicapped sign on the pavement surface as well as a vertical sign at the head of each space. A ramp providing handicapped access must be provided within 20 feet of any such parking space.

Any lighting in connection with off-street parking shall be so arranged and shielded as to reflect the light downward, away from all adjoining streets, residential zones or residential buildings.

Any parking area shall be effectively screened on any side which adjoins or faces premises situated in any residence district by a privacy fence, wall or hedge maintained in good condition as required by the Planning Board. If, in the judgment of the Board, said fence is not necessary to protect the adjoining residential property because of topographical or other extraordinary or exceptional conditions, this requirement for a fence may be waived.

The parking area and drives must be enclosed with concrete or Belgian block curbing, as approved by the Planning Board, at least six inches above the paving surface, except at ramps provided for the handicapped that are to be constructed to suit the barrier-free design regulations of the State of New Jersey. All curbing shall be constructed at a distance to meet the following requirements:

Parking areas shall be used solely for the parking of passenger automobiles, and no commercial repair work or service of any kind shall be conducted on said parking lot. No sign other than entrance, exit and condition-of-use signs shall be maintained; provided, however, that said sign shall meet the requirements of § 100-127.

Within all business zones, in every parking area of 10,000 square feet or more, provision shall be made for one shade tree of three-inch caliper or greater for each 1,000 square feet of parking area, which tree shall be situated within a planting area of not less than 100 square feet. For the purposes of this subsection, a parking area will be considered one continuous area unless separated by a building or landscaped area at least 50 feet in width. Preference should be given to existing trees.

Off-street parking spaces shall be dimensioned in accordance with the following schedule, except that a minimum of one space, but not more than 5% of all spaces, shall be a minimum of 12 feet wide, located in one area, designated as parking for the handicapped and located so that access does not require wheeling or walking behind parked cars. All parking areas shall be designed with service aisles to meet the following:

Each exit from and entrance to such parking lot shall be at least 50 feet distant from any adjacent property located in any residential zone.

Every off-street parking area shall be subject to site plan approval by the Planning Board to ensure its adequacy, relation to traffic safety and protection of the adjacent properties and to further ascertain that all requirements of this section are complied with.

If any applicant can clearly demonstrate to the Planning Board that because of the nature of the operation or the use of the premises the parking requirements, as outlined above, are unnecessary and excessive, the Planning Board may approve parking plans showing less parking area than is required. In such event, a landscaped area shall be reserved that can readily be converted to off-street parking if the conditions for allowing a lesser parking area ever change. The total number of parking spaces shall be shown on the site plan and shall consist of a square foot area of the principal building or accessory building which such parking is intended to serve.

For every building or part thereof hereinafter erected which is to be occupied by a use which requires the receipt or distribution in vehicles of materials or merchandise, there shall be provided and maintained on the same premises with such building off-street spaces in relation to floor area as follows:

Joint parking facilities. Persons developing property in this zone may meet the required parking provisions of this section by participation in a joint parking program of two or more business uses, provided that plans for such a joint programs have been approved by the Planning Board, and further provided that the area of the parking facilities equals the sum of the parking area requirements of each use participating therein.

The following standards and procedures shall be used in the design of drainage systems:

When required by the approving authority on recommendation of the Borough Engineer to handle stormwater runoff, detention facilities shall be designed and installed to provide a maximum outlet discharge of flows which occur under preconstruction conditions based on a two-year storm. Additional emergency outlets must be provided to accommodate for the flow from unexpected storms of greater frequency than a one-hundred-year storm. Sufficient storage shall be provided in order to accommodate anticipated flows from a one-hundred-year storm. The method of designing the detention facilities shall be based on the "Urban Hydrology for Small Watershed," Technical Release No. 55, published by the United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service.

All developments and all lots shall incorporate on-site stormwater detention facilities in the following manner:

All developments may incorporate the following on-site stormwater detention or impoundment facilities in the following manner:

All planting shall conform to the United States Department of Agriculture map of hardiness zones for Sussex County, New Jersey.

Trees, when planted, shall be balled and burlapped and properly staked.

The above listed standards are the minimum allowed under this chapter. A greater height or size of any evergreen tree, deciduous tree, shrub or plant may be required by the Board when, for reasons of topography or other conditions of the land, the minimum size planting set forth herein is not adequate to serve as a buffer between dissimilar uses as is defined in § 100-3 of this chapter. The Board shall have the right to require the construction of berms out of the use of a combination of natural and manmade materials to ensure that an adequate buffer exists between dissimilar uses in order that the objectives set forth in §§ 100-35 and 100-3 of this chapter are accomplished.

General application. As a condition of approval and the continuance of any use, occupancy of any structure and operation of any process or equipment within the Industrial Zone, the applicant shall supply evidence, satisfactory to the Planning Board or to its designated representative, that the proposed use, structure, process or equipment will conform fully with all of the applicable performance standards.

As evidence of compliance, the Board may require certification of tests by appropriate government agencies or by recognized testing laboratories, any costs thereof to be borne by the applicant. The Planning Board may require that specific types of equipment, machinery or devices be installed or that specific operating procedures or methods be followed if the government agencies or testing laboratories examining the proposed operation shall determine that the use of such specific types of machinery, equipment, devices, procedures or methods are required in order to assure compliance with applicable performance standards. Permits and certificates required by other government agencies shall be submitted to the Planning Board as proof of compliance with applicable codes.

A building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued only when the intended use will not exceed the following limitations or violate the following requirements.

Commercial uses in the Highway Commercial Zone may display goods for sales purposes or store goods for sale on the premises outside of the principal structure in which such use is carried on, provided that such outdoor selling or storage areas shall not encroach upon any of the required yard areas or the required off-street parking areas for the zone in which they are located, and further provided that the area set aside for such outdoor selling or storage shall not exceed an area equal to the gross floor area of the principal building. In the calculation of the percentage of the lot occupied by buildings and the required off-street parking area, the area of such outdoor selling or storage areas shall be included in the same manner as the area of the principal building. The area to be used for any such outdoor selling or storage areas shall be appropriately set forth at the time of application for a zoning permit. Any subsequent establishment or relocation of such areas shall be subject to the issuance of a supplementary zoning permit. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to permit the outdoor storage of goods in transit or goods intended for sale at other than the point of storage.

Prior to and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any building or occupancy permit for the construction and/or use of any high density residential building, the Borough Planning Board shall review and approve a site plan for the entire proposed high density residential project as required by Article VI.

Access. Every residential development site shall abut, be contiguous to at least a minimum length of 100 feet of and have permanent access to a municipally approved public street, constructed in accordance with current Borough road design standards.

Utilities. All utilities and other similar facilities shall be provided for the multifamily dwelling development and shall be independent for the property without dependence upon other properties. Connection to a publicly owned or publicly controlled water supply system and sewage system, which have been determined as adequate to serve the development, shall be required. All utility installations shall be underground, in accordance with the subdivision regulations.

Building layout. Buildings shall be designed so that a minimum break of 10 feet, either forward or backward from the nominal building line of the front facade, shall occur between building segments thereof containing eight or less dwelling units. A maximum of three such building segments may be parallel, attached end to end, after which the next building segment shall be oriented 90º to the nominal building line as to create an open courtyard. In no event shall the closest point between two buildings be less than 50 feet.

Building length. No high density residential building shall exceed a total of 180 feet as measured along the front building line.

The owner-operator or owners' association of the high density residential tract shall, at his own expense, maintain, repair, regulate and prevent obstruction of all roadways, driveways and parking areas, including the prompt and adequate removal of snow, ice, leaves or any debris therefrom, no parking shall be permitted on access drives or roadways.

Homeowners' association. In all projects in which there is common property or common open space, a homeowners' association shall be established for the purpose of owning and maintaining such common property designated within a development, provided that the Planning Board and governing body are satisfied that the homeowners' association will have a sufficient number of property owners to reasonably expect a perpetuation of the association in a manner enabling the association to meet its obligations and responsibilities. If established, a homeowners' association shall incorporate the following provisions:

Illumination at ground levels shall be as follows:

Mainline and ramps.

Location of sources.

Poles for all but street-related lighting.

Purpose. The purpose of this area is to recognize the increased threat, severity and frequency of higher water levels along most streams, rivers and lakes as a result of increased development. It is intended to render areas adjacent to streams, rivers and lakes free from structures and other obstructions to the water flow during periodic rises in the water level so that rising water level may have a natural course to flow, the watercourses may not be constricted or altered in a manner that will increase water velocities or create a dam, the water may rise without danger to persons or property and the water may rise and cover larger land surfaces for the purpose of greater water percolation and recharging of the underground water supply.

Permitted uses. In the floodways and flood hazard area, no lot shall be used and no structure shall be erected, altered or occupied for any purpose except the following:

Prohibited uses. The following are prohibited uses:

State regulations.

No principal or accessory structure or any off-street parking or loading areas or other use shall be permitted within the buffer area, except as permitted by the Planning Board on site plan review.

No access or driveways, other than as may be permitted by the Planning Board under the site plan review, shall be permitted within a buffer area.

Buffer areas shall be maintained in their natural state when wooded and, whether or not wooded, shall be planted with evergreens or similar natural year-round screening and/or fencing to form a year-round visual barrier. Buffer areas shall be maintained in conformity with § 100-128. The entire buffer area shall be maintained and kept clean of all debris and rubbish.

It shall be the responsibility of the owner or owners to maintain any buffer areas and replace plants if they die or repair or replace fences if and when necessary.

The certificate of occupancy for the use of the premises shall not be issued until such time as the landscaping requirements, as set forth in this section, are installed with the plan approved by the Planning Board pursuant to § 100-128. In the event that the season is not appropriate, the certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until a performance bond, in the amount estimated equal to 120% of the total estimated cost of the installations, is posted with the Borough Council. In any event, a maintenance bond shall be posted with the Borough Council, in an amount equal to 15% of the total estimated cost, to ensure that the installed landscaping complies with the requirements set forth above at the completion of the second growing season.
