Accessory buildings as part of principal buildings. Any accessory building attached to a principal building shall be considered part of the principal building and the total structure shall adhere to the yard requirements for the principal building regardless of the technique of connecting the principal and accessory buildings.

Accessory buildings not to be constructed prior to principal building. No construction permit shall be issued for the construction of an accessory building prior to the issuance of a construction permit for the construction of the main building on the same premises. If construction of the main building does not precede or coincide with the construction of the accessory building, the Construction Official shall revoke the construction permit for the accessory building until construction of the main building has proceeded substantially toward completion.

Distance between adjacent buildings. The minimum distance between an accessory building and any other buildings on the same lot shall be as prescribed in §§ 500-12, 500-28, 500-40 and 500-48. Minimum distance between an outdoor wood burning furnace and any other buildings on the lot shall be as per manufacturer's specifications and zoning standards for the respective zone district.

Location. An accessory building may be erected in side or rear yard areas only, and shall be set back from side and rear lot lines as prescribed in §§ 500-12, 500-23C(4)(b), 500-28, 500-40, and 500-48, except that, if erected on lots with more than one street frontage, the accessory building shall be set back from the secondary street to comply with the setback line applying to the principal building for that side street. Outdoor wood-burning furnaces must meet accessory building setbacks in the respective zone district.

Height of accessory buildings. The height of accessory buildings shall be as prescribed in §§ 500-11, 500-34, 500-40 and 500-49.

Location. An accessory building may be erected anywhere on a lot within the principal building setbacks and in side or rear yard areas when meeting the accessory structure side or rear yard setbacks as prescribed herein. Except that, if erected on a lot with two or more street frontages, the accessory building shall be set back from any secondary street to comply with the setback line applying to the principal building for side yards. The secondary street shall be any street that the building does not front on or face with a front door and would otherwise be considered a side yard, if not for the street frontage. Also except that no poultry or livestock shelter shall be erected nearer than 25 feet to any adjacent off-site residential structure.

Accessory buildings not exceeding 100 square feet. All accessory buildings that do not exceed 100 square feet in total area and are not used to shelter livestock or poultry may be located within five feet of any side or rear lot line.

Outdoor wood-burning furnaces shall also adhere to regulations set forth in § 500-__ Outdoor wood-burning furnaces.

Within any residential district, no building with a permitted professional home office or home occupation shall be constructed or altered so as to be inharmonious with the residential character of the adjacent residential area.

The Township Council hereby finds that uniformity in the exterior design and appearance of dwellings erected in the same residential neighborhood tends to adversely affect the desirability of the immediate and neighboring areas for residential purposes and impair existing residential property and the value of both improved and unimproved real property in such areas and, in addition, tends to deprive the municipality of tax revenue and destroy a proper balance between the taxable value of real property in such areas and the cost of municipal services provided therefor. It is the purpose of this section to prevent these and other harmful effects of uniformity in design and appearance of dwellings erected in any housing development in the same residential neighborhood and thus to promote and protect the general welfare of the community.

No more than one construction permit shall be issued for any particular single-family detached dwelling unit design in any housing development consisting of two or more detached dwellings when the houses are substantially alike in exterior design and appearance unless such similar houses either are separated by a distance of at least 300 feet or are situated on individual lots which are themselves separated at all points by a distance of at least 150 feet, whichever distance will provide the least separation between houses.

Houses within such specified distance from each other shall be considered uniform in exterior design and appearance if they have any one of the following characteristics:

To insure conformity with the provisions of this section, no construction permit shall hereafter be issued for more than one dwelling in any housing development until the builder shall post or cause to be posted on each specific lot on the map of the subdivision on file with the Construction Official the type and model for each house for which a construction permit has been or is being issued.

The provisions, requirements, and standards heretofore set forth shall not be considered met where there is an attempt to make minor changes or deviations from building plans and location surveys which show an obvious intent to circumvent the purpose of this section.

All permitted fences shall be situated on a lot in such a manner that the finished side of the fence shall face adjacent properties. No fence shall be erected of barbed wire, topped with metal spikes, or constructed of any material or in any manner which may be dangerous to persons or animals, except that these provisions shall not apply to farms or where necessary for the keeping of farm animals as provided in § 500-90 and except further that fences permitted for commercial and industrial uses may be topped by a barbed wire protective barrier. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, retaining walls which are less than four feet in height, part of a larger project certified by an engineer, or on a site plan approved by the Township Engineer do not require a separate zoning or building permit application. Retaining walls which are four feet or over in height require both a zoning and building permit application. Any Township review of the submitted request shall consider the safety and aesthetic aspects of the proposed retaining wall.

On any lot in any residential district, the maximum permitted height of a wall or fence is four feet in front yard areas and six feet in side or rear yard areas except:

On any lot in any nonresidential district, no wall or fence shall be erected or altered so that the wall or fence shall be over three feet in height in the front yard areas and six feet in height in side and rear yard areas.

Sight triangle easements shall be required at intersections, in addition to the specified right-of-way width, in which no grading, planting or structure shall be erected or maintained except for street signs, fire hydrants, and light standards. The "sight triangle" shall be defined as that area outside of the street right-of-way which is bounded by the intersecting street lines and the straight line connecting "sight points," one each located on the two intersecting street center lines; arterial streets at 300 feet; collector streets at 200 feet; and local streets at 90 feet. Where the intersecting streets are both arterials, both collectors, or one arterial and one collector, two overlapping sight triangles shall be required, formed by connecting the "sight point" noted above with a "sight point" 90 feet on the intersecting street. Such easement dedication shall be expressed on the site plans as follows: "Sight triangle deeded for the purposes provided for and expressed in the Land Development Ordinance."

In all zone districts, any walls must be located at least one foot from any property line. Walls are prohibited from being placed within any right-of-way.

Streetlighting of a type supplied by the utility and of a type and number approved by the Township Engineer shall be provided for all street intersections and along all arterial, collector, and local streets and anywhere else deemed necessary for safety reasons. Wherever electric utility installations are required to be underground, the applicant shall provide for underground service for streetlighting.

All parking areas and walkways thereto and appurtenant passageways and driveways serving commercial, public, office, industrial, apartment, or other similar uses, having common off-street parking and/or loading areas and building complexes requiring area lighting shall be adequately illuminated for security and safety purposes. The lighting plan in and around the parking areas shall provide for nonglare, color-corrected lights focused downward. The light intensity provided at ground level shall be a minimum of 0.3 footcandle anywhere in the area to be illuminated, shall average a minimum of 0.5 footcandle over the entire area, and shall be provided by fixtures with a mounting height not more than 25 feet or the height of the building, whichever is less, measured from the ground level to the center line of the light source, spaced a distance not to exceed five times the mounting height. Any other outdoor lighting such as building and sidewalk illumination, driveways with no adjacent parking, the lighting of signs and ornamental lighting, shall be shown on the lighting plan in sufficient detail to allow determination of the effects to adjacent properties, traffic safety, and overhead sky glow. The objective of these specifications shall be to minimize off-premises effects. No lights shall shine into windows or onto streets and driveways in such manner as to interfere with or distract driver vision. To achieve these requirements, the intensity of such light sources, the light shielding, and similar characteristics shall be subject to site plan approval.

Insofar as is practical, side lot lines shall be either at right angles or radial to street lines.

Each lot shall front upon a street and be capable of providing safe access to and from any uses situated thereon.

Where extra width has been dedicated for widening of existing streets, lots shall begin at such new street 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 poor drainage conditions or flood conditions, percolation tests or test borings, indicating the ground conditions are inadequate for proper sewage disposal for on-lot sewage treatment or similar circumstances, the Board, after adequate investigation, may withhold approval of such lots. If approval is withheld, the Board shall give reasons and notify the applicant and enter such reasons in the minutes.

Monuments shall be installed for all newly created lots in compliance with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.11. All lot corners shall be marked with a metal alloy pin of permanent character.

Natural features such as trees, hilltops and views, natural terrain, open waters, trails, stream corridors, and natural drainage lines shall be preserved whenever possible in designing any development containing such features.

No topsoil shall be removed from areas intended for lawn or open space. Topsoil moved during the course of construction shall be redistributed so as to provide sufficient cover to all such areas, which shall be stabilized by the approved seeding and/or planting.

A conscious effort shall be made to preserve existing trees and shrubs on the site. Stripping trees from a lot or filling around trees on a lot shall not be permitted unless it can be shown that grading or construction requirements necessitate removal of trees, in which case, those lots shall be replanted with trees. All newly planted shade trees shall be nursery-grown stock not less than 2 1/2 inches in diameter, planted and staked in a manner approved by the Planning and Building Department. Trees shall be of the following species: willow oak, red oak, scarlet oak, pin oak, ginkgo (male only), Japanese pagoda tree, thornless sunburst honey locust, Norway maple, Norway red, and columnar maple. All trees not surviving after one growing season shall be replaced by the developer. Other species may be proposed in writing to the Planning Board for its approval. In any case, a sufficient number of shade trees shall be provided and planted to insure a minimum of eight trees per acre of lot area.

The building designs shall attempt to work with the existing conditions (topography, rock outcroppings, etc.) rather than alter them, to minimize the impacts of development.

All residential subdivisions for the creation of new building lots shall, in addition to this section, also comply with the land disturbance criteria as set forth in § 470-14C, Land disturbance criteria. Any lot adjustments made to comply with the provisions of this section of this chapter that do not reduce the minimum required lot size will be reviewed through a waiver process.

Critical areas. Certain areas of the Township exhibit various environmental and physical constraints such as steep topography, floodplains, wetlands, rock outcrop areas, etc. Development of these areas would have a severe and negative impact upon the land and water quality within the Township.

Lots.

Structures.

In all nonresidential zones where any building or structure is erected, enlarged or increased in capacity, there shall be provided off-street parking for automotive, bicycle and other vehicles and off-street loading facilities in accordance with the requirements set forth herein as well as the parking space requirements for the handicapped contained in N.J.S.A. 52:32-11 et seq. All required parking and loading facilities shall be paved with an all-weather impervious surface and shall be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.

Required parking spaces or loading berths may not be located on streets, access aisles, or driveways. No areas specifically intended for loading use may be located between the front building line and the street line unless otherwise specified in other sections of this chapter.

All required parking spaces shall be on the same lot or tract of land as the building or use to which they are accessory, unless the Planning Board, as part of the site plan review, shall approve collective off-street parking facilities for two or more buildings or uses on contiguous lots. The total number of spaces in such collective off-street parking facilities shall be not less than the sum of the spaces required for the individual uses, computed separately. Such approval shall be granted only subject to the submission of appropriate deed restrictions, acceptable to the Planning Board Attorney, guaranteeing the availability of such facilities throughout the life of the buildings or uses to which they are proposed to be accessory.

Where it can be demonstrated, at the time of Planning Board review, that the parking or loading area requirements of this chapter are in excess of actual needs, the Planning Board may permit a portion of the proposed parking or loading areas to be appropriately graded and landscaped, but left unpaved. If, following construction, the experience with the actual operation of the proposed use should show the need for additional off-street parking or loading, the Planning Board may require such unpaved space to be paved upon recommendation of the Planning Director and Township Engineer.

Every public or private off-street parking or loading area shall be maintained in good condition, free of hazards and deterioration. All paved areas, sidewalks, curbs, drainage facilities, lighting, bumpers, guardrails, markings, signs, bicycle parking devices, landscaping and other improvements shall be maintained in workable, safe and good condition. Further, the Township Council may authorize repairs for such improvements if, after proper notice, the owner fails to maintain any improvements that are governed by a development of other similar agreement or if said body finds that the resulting conditions constitute a public health and safety hazard.

Landscaping.

Lighting. Lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas shall be arranged to reflect the light away from residential premises and streets and be in accordance with § 500-69.

All parking and loading areas and access drives shall be paved as outlined below or the equivalent, as determined by the Township Engineer and approved as part of the development application approval. All parking areas, regardless of size and location, shall be suitably drained and maintained and curbed with Belgian block or granite curbing.

Areas of ingress or egress, loading and unloading areas, major interior driveways or access aisles and other areas likely to experience similar heavy traffic shall be paved with not less than four inches of compacted base course or plant-mixed bituminous, stabilized base course, constructed in one layer and prepared and constructed in accordance with Division 3, Section 2A, of the New Jersey State Highway Department Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridge Construction (1961) and amendments thereto. A minimum two-inch-thick compacted wearing surface of bituminous concrete (MABC) shall be constructed thereon in accordance with Division 3, Section 10, of the aforesaid New Jersey State Highway Department Specifications and amendments thereto.

Parking stall areas and other areas likely to experience similar light traffic shall be paved with not less than three inches of compacted base course of plant-mixed bituminous, stabilized base course, prepared and constructed in accordance Division 3, Section 10, of the aforesaid New Jersey State Highway Department Specifications and amendments thereto.

Where subbase conditions of proposed parking and loading areas are wet, springy, or of such a nature that surfacing would be inadvisable without first treating the subbase, the treatment of the subbases shall be made in the following manner: The areas shall be excavated to a depth of six to 12 inches below the proposed finished grade and filled with suitable subbase material as determined by the Township Engineer. Where required by the Township Engineer, a system of porous concrete pipe or PVC subsurface drains shall be constructed beneath the surface of the parking area and connected to a suitable drain. After the subbase material has been properly placed and compacted, the parking area surfacing material, as described heretofore, shall be spread thereon.

Car parking standards. All required car parking spaces shall be laid out and located in accordance with the following standards set forth below. Compact car spaces may be permitted by the Planning Board only where the total number of spaces proposed to be provided exceeds 50 and shall not exceed 30% of the total number required. If permitted, compact car parking spaces shall be clearly identified by marking the pavement with the letter "C" and shall be grouped in one or more locations rather than dispersed throughout the site.

All parking spaces shall be identified by means of four-inch painted lines. Where possible, areas should be separated from roads or aisles by islands with a minimum width of 10 feet.

Types of vehicles.

Access. Access points from any one lot crossing the street line shall be limited to a maximum of two along the frontage of any single street. The center lines of any separate access points shall be spaced at least 65 feet apart, shall handle no more than two lanes of traffic, be at least 20 feet from any property line, and shall be set back from the point of tangency of the existing or proposed curb or pavement radius of any corner of any intersecting street at least 50 feet, or 1/2 the lot frontage, whichever is greater, except that in no case need the setback distance exceed 200 feet. Driveway design shall give due consideration to the proposed width, curbing, direction of traffic flow, radii of curves, and method of dividing traffic lanes. Curbing shall be depressed at the driveway or the curbing may be rounded at the corners and the driveway connected with the street in the same manner as another street.

Any exit driveway lane shall be located and designed, in profile and grading, so as to provide the following minimum sight distance measured in each direction from the driver's seat of a vehicle touching the street line:

A change in the speed regulations shall not affect a building or use for which a construction or land use permit has been issued.

No driveway shall have a grade which exceeds 5% within 50 feet of the street line and 10% overall.

Each driveway shall, as much as practicable, design driveways so that they are 90 degrees to the adjacent road.

Upon the determination of the Township Engineer, acceleration and/or deceleration lanes shall be provided and designed in accordance with design criteria established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Standards Manuals.

Residential driveways on arterial or collector roads shall be provided with on-site turnarounds to prevent vehicle backing onto the roadway. The Township Engineer may require on-site turnarounds to be provided on local roads in order to promote safe and efficient access.

Residential driveways being proposed through subdivision of lands shall as much as practical utilize joint driveways to the public road system.

Electrical and/or electronic devices. All electrical or electronic devices shall be subject to the provisions of Public Law 90-602, 90th Congress, HR 10790, dated October 18, 1968, entitled "An Act for the Protection of Public Health and Safety from the Dangers of Electronic Product Radiation." Radiation products as defined in U.S. Department of Health and Welfare Publication No. (FDA) 75-8003 shall be so limited and controlled so that no measurable energy can be recorded at any point beyond the property boundaries. The applicant, upon request, shall produce certified data wherein measurements made in accordance with the procedure and standards set forth in the U.S. Department of Health and Welfare Publication No. (FDA) 75-8003 adequately demonstrate compliance with the minimum standards established by the Act. All other forms of electromagnetic radiation lying between 100 KHz and 10 GHz shall be restricted to the technical limits established in the Federal Communications Commission's Rules and Regulations. Additionally, electric or electronic equipment shall be shielded so there is no interference with any radio or television reception at the lot line, or beyond the operator's dwelling unit in the case of multifamily dwellings, as a result of the operation of such equipment.

Glare. No use shall produce a strong, dazzling light or a reflection of a strong, dazzling light, or glare beyond its lot lines. Exterior lighting shall be shielded, buffered, and directed so that glare, direct light, or reflection shall not become a nuisance to adjoining properties, adjoining dwelling units, adjoining districts, or streets.

Heat. No use shall produce heat perceptible beyond its lot lines. Further, no use shall be permitted which would cause the temperature to rise or fall in any body of water.

Noise.[1]

Noxious odors. Odors due to nonagricultural operations shall not be discernible at the lot line or beyond. Further, no open burning shall be permitted in any zone.

Storage and waste disposal.

Ventilation. No use shall obstruct the natural ventilation of adjacent uses nor contaminate the air with excessive heat or odor. No air conditioners or exhaust fans shall be permitted to discharge exhausted air unless set back from all property lines 10 feet or equipped with baffles to deflect discharged air away from the adjacent use.

Vibration. There shall be no vibration which is discernible to the human sense of feeling beyond the immediate lot.

Air pollution.[4]

No residential dwelling shall be located within 100 feet of the right-of-way of a high-tension electric power line. The lot size for a residential use shall be increased if the Planning Board finds that the area within the one-hundred-foot distance constrains the lot so that inadequate outdoor living space results from the location of the high-tension line right-of-way.

Underground installation. All public services shall be connected to an approved public utilities system where one exists. The developer shall arrange with the servicing utility for the underground installation of the utilities' distribution supply lines and service connections in accordance with the provisions of the applicable standard terms and conditions incorporated as part of its tariff, then on file with the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utility Commissioners, and the developer shall provide the Township with four copies of a final plan showing the installed location of the utilities. The developer shall submit to the Board, prior to the granting of final approval, a written instrument from each serving utility which shall evidence full compliance or intended full compliance with the provisions of this subsection; provided that lots which abut existing streets where overhead electric or telephone distribution supply lines and service connections have heretofore been installed may be supplied with electric and telephone service from these overhead lines, but any new service connections from the utilities' overhead lines shall be installed underground. In cases where extensions of service are needed to existing buildings or new buildings in established subdivisions, industrial parks, or shopping centers, the present method of service may be continued. In the case of existing overhead utilities, however, should a road widening or an extension of service or other such condition occur as a result of the development and necessitate the replacement or relocation of such utilities, such replacement or relocation shall be underground.

Easements. 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 Township departments concerned, and to their fullest extent possible, be centered on, or adjacent to, rear or side lot lines. Easement dedication shall be expressed in the plan.

If a public treatment and collection system is accessible or planned, the developer shall construct facilities in such a manner as to make adequate sewage treatment available to each lot and structure within the development from the treatment and collection system.

Any treatment plant and collection system, including individual on-lot septic systems, shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of the State Department of Health and Senior Services or Township ordinances enforced by the Township Health Department, whichever is more restrictive, and shall be subject to approval by the Township Health Department.

Where central water facilities are accessible, water mains shall be constructed in such a manner as to make adequate water service available to each lot or building within the development. The entire system shall be designed in accordance with the requirements and standards of the local and/or state agency having approval authority and shall be subject to their approval. The system shall also be designed with adequate capacity and sustained pressure.

Where no central water facilities are accessible, water shall be furnished on an individual lot basis. Well installation, sealing, and testing shall be in accordance with the New Jersey Standards for Construction of Water Supply Systems in Realty Improvements, N.J.S.A. 58:11-23 et seq., as amended.

All developments shall be served by paved public streets with an adequate crown. The arrangement of streets not shown on the Township Master Plan or Official Map, as adopted by the Township Council, shall be such as to provide for the appropriate extension of existing streets and should conform to the topography as far as practicable.

When a new development adjoins land susceptible to being subdivided, suitable provisions shall be made for optimum access of the remaining and/or adjoining tract to existing or proposed streets.

Local streets shall be so planned and identified with appropriate signs so as to discourage through traffic.

In the event that a development adjoins or includes existing streets that do not conform to widths as shown on the adopted Master Plan and/or Official Map or the street width requirements of this chapter, additional land along either or both sides of the street sufficient to conform to the right-of-way requirements may be dedicated for the location, installation, repair and maintenance of streets, drainage facilities, utilities and other facilities customarily located on street rights-of-way. If the development is along one side only, 1/2 of the required extra width shall be dedicated. Additionally, that portion of the existing street or road adjoining or included within a site plan or major subdivision shall be improved, including excavation, grading, base courses and surfacing in accordance with the road improvement standards of this chapter.

In all developments, the minimum public street right-of-way shall be measured from lot line to lot line and shall be in accordance with the following schedule.

Cartway width for local roads.

Grades on all streets shall not exceed 10%. No street shall have less than a minimum grade of 1/2%.

Street intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as is possible and in no case shall be less than 60 degrees; approaches to all intersections shall follow a straight line for at least 100 feet. No more than two streets shall meet or intersect at any one point, and the center lines of both intersecting streets shall pass through a common point. Measuring from this common point, two intersections shall be spaced a sufficient distance to permit a minimum of two lots between the two street rights-of-way or 300 feet, whichever is more.

Any development abutting an existing street classified as an arterial or collector shall be permitted only one new street connecting with the same side of the existing street, except where the frontage is sufficient. More than one street may intersect the arterial or collector street, provided the streets shall not intersect with the same side of the existing street at intervals of less than 800 feet. The block corners at intersections shall be rounded at the curbline with the street having the highest radius requirement as outlined below determining the minimum standard for all curblines:

A tangent at least 200 feet long shall be introduced between reverse curves on arterial and collector streets. When connecting street lines deflect from each other at any one point, they shall be connected by a curve with a radius conforming to current AASHTO standards so that the minimum sight distance within the right-of-way shall be 350 feet for local streets, 500 feet for a collector street and 800 feet for an arterial street.

Culs-de-sac of a permanent nature, where provision for the future extension of the street to the boundary of the adjoining property is impractical or impossible, or of a temporary nature, where provision is made for the future extension of the street to the boundary line of adjoining property, shall be no more than 750 feet in length and shall provide a turnaround at the end with a radius of 50 feet on the curbline plus a utility and planting strip width of 10 feet around the entire cul-de-sac. The center point for the radius shall be on the center line of the associated street, or if offset, offset to a point where the radius becomes tangent to the right curbline of the associated street. Culs-de-sac may, however, be up to 1,200 feet in length for conventional development in the R-4 Zone.

No street shall have a name which will duplicate or so nearly duplicate the name of an existing street that confusion results. The continuation of an existing street shall have the same name. Curvilinear streets shall change their names only at street intersections. The Board shall reserve the right to approve or name streets within a proposed development.

In all residential zones, all major subdivisions bounded by any existing or proposed arterial street shall control access to such streets by having all driveways intersect marginal service streets, parallel streets or streets intersecting the arterial street.

Contiguous open driveways in excess of 15 feet wide shall be prohibited. Moreover, any use providing direct driveway access to an arterial street, as indicated on the Master Plan, shall include a turnaround area on-site.

Sight triangles. At all street corners, the areas bounded by the right-of way lines and a straight line connecting sight points on street center lines which are the following distances from the intersection of the center lines shall be dedicated as sight triangles:

No fences or any other obstruction nor any planting exceeding 24 inches in height as measured above the elevation of the center line of the road may be placed in any such sight triangle.

The Planning Board may require street widening or other street improvements on arterials and collectors, including acceleration and deceleration lanes and curbing, to assure safe ingress and egress to the adjoining property.

The approval of any map of land delineating streets by the Township Council shall in no way be construed as an acceptance of any street indicated thereon.

The pavement width of streets and the quality of surfacing and base materials shall adhere to the minimum standards set forth by the Township, County or State Engineers when the paving concerns roads under their jurisdiction and where such standards exist.

Streets under the jurisdiction of the Township having rights-of-way widths in excess of 50 feet shall be designed and paved as specifically approved by the Township Engineer. Streets having a fifty-foot right-of-way width shall be paved with a seven-and-one-half-inch bituminous concrete pavement and be constructed according to the following specifications:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, all streets in the Limited Manufacturing and Industrial Zone shall have a minimum cartway width of 40 feet and shall be constructed according to the following specifications:

Curbs. Belgian block, and granite, or concrete curbing shall be installed as required by the Board within all subdivisions, and site plans and at intersections with existing Township, county or state roads and these shall be laid in a manner approved by the Township Engineer.

Sidewalks shall be required on both sides of all streets serving an arterial or collector function as stipulated in the adopted Township Master Plan and/or Official Map of the Township and on local residential streets as required by the Board. Sidewalks in nonresidential developments shall be required, at the Board's discretion, depending upon the probable volume of pedestrian traffic, the development's location in relation to other populated areas, and the general type of improvement intended. Brick pavers in conjunction with the Town Center Plan shall be required.

Where required, sidewalks shall be at least four feet wide and located as approved by the Board. Sidewalks shall be concrete or an equivalent approved by the Board and shall be constructed in accordance with Division 5 of the specifications of the New Jersey State Highway Department.

Planting.

All trees shall be nursery-grown stock and shall have a root ball wrapped in burlap, with a replacement guarantee by the developer for two years.

No private residential pool shall be constructed or installed on any lot unless the lot contains a residence building. Such pool shall be located in the rear or side yard areas only, shall occupy no more than 75% of the yard area in which it is located and shall not be located within 10 feet of the property line nor within 10 feet of any building on the site.

A private, below-ground residential swimming pool area shall be surrounded by a suitable fence with a self-latching gate at least four feet but no more than six feet in height.

A private, aboveground residential swimming pool shall require a latched ladder.

All swimming pools shall meet the appropriate design standards as set forth by the National Swimming Pool Institute and requirements of the Uniform Construction Code.

It is hereby declared that the use of Greenwood Lake for the purpose of the landing, and takeoff, of seaplanes or the establishment of commercial aviation facilities or seaplane bases on land surrounding Greenwood Lake is contrary to the chief use and general purpose of Greenwood Lake as to public recreational resource. It is hereby further declared that such seaplane operations are deemed to be potentially dangerous to the safety and welfare of the majority of persons who use Greenwood Lake for various recreational activities in the nature of boating, fishing, swimming, water skiing and other similar sports.

In those zoning districts surrounding and encompassing Greenwood Lake, the use of the waters of Greenwood Lake for the purpose of accommodating the landing and takeoff of seaplanes or the establishment of any commercial aviation facility or seaplane base is specifically prohibited.

The provisions of this section shall not affect:

Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this section, or any person aiding or abetting or permitting or allowing violations of any provisions of this section, shall be subject to the penalty imposed in Chapter 1, Article III, General Penalty, of the Township Code of the Township of West Milford, as amended.

It is hereby declared that the keeping, storage or abandonment of any vehicle, motor vehicles, motor-drawn vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer, not currently used for transportation, and not being licensed for the current year, or of any unused machinery or equipment upon lands within the limits of the Township, is inimical to the public welfare in that the exposure to view of such vehicle, motor vehicle, motor-drawn vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, machinery or equipment is unsightly and detrimental to the neighborhood.

No person shall keep, store, abandon or leave upon any parcel of land, street, road, alleyway or parkway in the Township any vehicle, motor vehicle, motor-drawn vehicle, trailer or semitrailer, not currently used for transportation and not being licensed for the current year, or any unused machinery or equipment. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit the placing, keeping, storing or abandonment of any such vehicle, motor vehicle, motor-drawn vehicle, trailer or semitrailer, machinery or equipment in a garage or other building located within the Township.

Whenever it shall appear to the Construction Official of the Township of West Milford or his duly authorized and designated assistant that the presence upon any lands within the Township of any vehicle, motor vehicle, motor-drawn vehicle, trailer or semitrailer, not currently used for transportation, and not being licensed for the current year, or any unused machinery or equipment is inimical to the general welfare in that it is unsightly, the owner or tenant of any land shall be required to remove therefrom the vehicle, motor vehicle, motor-drawn vehicle, trailer or semitrailer, machinery or equipment or to place the same in a garage or other building within five days after receipt by the owner or tenant of written notice from such Construction Official of the Township of West Milford or his duly authorized and designated assistant, requiring the removal. This notice may be served personally upon the owner or tenant, or may be directed to him by certified mail.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, farm animals shall be housed and kept in a manner which will not constitute a public nuisance.

A minimum tract for the keeping of farm animals shall be:

No farm animals shall be kept unless they can be contained on the property of their owner or the agent of their owner.
