At the time any application, petition, or request is filed by any person for the approval of the construction, opening, or dedication of any proposed road or street, the Township shall be assured that said proposed street or road shall be completed and the assurance shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter and by New Jersey Statutes 40:55D-1 et seq. (Municipal Land Use Law).

Any person making application or request for the approval of the construction, opening or dedication of any proposed road, shall bear all costs of inspection of such roads and any drainage facilities connected therewith, all engineering costs, all costs of survey, and all other expenses and costs incidental to construction, approval and dedication of such street or road for public use, including legal fees.

Proposed streets shall conform to such County and State street and highway plans as have been prepared, adopted and filed as prescribed by law.

If lots resulting from the original subdivision are large enough to permit subdivision, or if a portion of the tract is not subdivided, adequate street right-of-way to permit further subdivision shall be provided.

Streets that are extensions of existing streets shall bear the names of the existing street. Street names shall not be duplicated within the Township and all street names shall be subject to the approval of the Township Planning Board.

Dead end streets shall be prohibited, except as culs-de-sac.

New half or partial streets shall be prohibited except where essential to reasonable subdivision or land development of a tract in conformance with the other requirements or standards of these regulations and where, in addition, satisfactory assurance for dedication of the remaining parts of the street is secured by escrow funds or surety bonds that said construction will be completed.

Wherever a tract to be subdivided or developed borders on an existing half or partial street, the other part of the street shall be platted within such tract.

Streets shall be logically related to topography so as to produce reasonable grades, satisfactory drainage and suitable building sites. Streets shall be so arranged to be generally parallel to rather than across contour lines. Cut and fill should be minimized. Streets shall be laid out to avoid hazardous areas such as flood-plains, steep slopes and other hazardous natural features.
