Required. Sidewalks and curbs shall be constructed and installed on both sides of each street in accordance with specifications promulgated by the Department of Planning and Engineering. B. Barrier Free Access. At such points of intersection between sidewalks and streets as the Township Engineer shall decide, the sidewalk shall be constructed so as to slope gradually, to street level, at a gradient of not more than one (1) foot in twelve (12) feet, wherever possible, so as to provide ramp access for handicapped persons between the sidewalk and the street. The curb depression shall be a minimum width of three (3) feet. Construction shall be in accordance with standards prescribed by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. C.
W idth. Sidewalks shall be at least four (4) feet wide. W hen the Approving Authority determines that a sidewalk may be subject to unusually heavy pedestrian traffic or intended equally for bicycles it may require that its width be increased to either six (6) or eight (8) feet. In parking areas where sidewalks abut the curb and cars overhang the sidewalk area, the sidewalk shall be widened by two (2) feet. D. Materials. Sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete or brick material, as determined by the approving authority. E. Concrete Specifications. Materials shall conform to the N.J.D.O.T. Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction in effect at the time of construction. F. Other Materials. Other material specifications shall be approved by the Township Engineer. G.

Sidewalk Location. In residential developments, sidewalks shall be placed in the right-of-way, parallel to the street, unless an exception has been permitted to preserve topographical or natural features, or to provide visual interest, or unless the applicant shows that an alternative pedestrian system provides safe and convenient circulation. In planned developments and cluster developments, sidewalks may be located away from the road system to link dwelling units with other dwelling units, the street, and on-site activity centers such as parking areas and recreational areas. They may also be required parallel to the street for safety and other reasons. I.
Pedestrian Easements. Pedestrian way easements ten (10) feet wide m ay be required by the Approving Authority through the center of blocks to provide circulation or access to schools, playgrounds, shopping, or other community facilities. 19238 3-92
& 192-50 DESIGN GUIDELINES & STANDARDS & 192-51 & 192-50. Sight Easements. [Amended 8-25-97 by Ord. No. 97-25] For residential development these standards are superseded by Residential Site Improvement Standards (N.J.A.C., Title 5, Chapter 21). A. Required. Sight easements shall be provided at each quadrant of an intersection of streets or streets and driveways and shall be shown on the plan. Any development requiring site plan or subdivision approval shall provide adequate sight easements at each driveway with the driveway classified as a local street for purposes of establishing distances. B. Dedicated; easement. The area within sight easement shall be kept as part of the lot and identified as a sight easement. The wording of the sight easement shall be subject to the review and approval of the Board Attorney. C. Clearance. No grading, planting or structure shall be erected or maintained higher than thirty (30) inches above the center-line grade of the intersecting street or driveway or lower than ten (10) feet above their center lines, excluding street name signs and official traffic regulation signs. W here any intersection involves earth banks or vegetation, including trees, the developer shall trim or selectively thin trees and grade to provide adequate sight distance. W ithin these sight easements, plantings should be restricted to low spreading varieties of plants and shrubs. D. Area. The sight easement is that area bounded by the intersecting street center lines and a straight line which connects sight points located on each of the two (2) intersecting street center lines. The sight easement distances shall be in accordance with A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets 1984 by American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. E. Lot Area. Portions of a lot set aside for the sight easement may be calculated in determining the lot area and may be included in establishing the minimum setbacks required by the zoning provisions.
All applications shall comply with the standards for Soil Erosion & Sediment Control in New Jersey by the New Jersey State Soil Conservation Committee. All plans shall incorporate soil erosion and sediment control programs phased according to the scheduled progress of the developm ent, including anticipated starting and completion dates. The purpose is to control soil erosion and
sediment damages and related environmental damage by requiring adequate provisions for surface water retention and drainage and for the protection of exposed soil surfaces in order to promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the community. If no board approval or Freehold Soil Conservation Service approval is required the applicant shall submit a plan conforming to all aspects of this section. 19239
11-97 & 192-51 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 192-51 A.
General Design Principles. 1. Control measures shall apply to all aspects of the proposed land disturbances 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: a. Stripping of vegetation , grading or other soil disturbance shall be done in a manner which will minimize soil erosion. b. W henever feasible, natural vegetation shall be retained and protected. c. The extent of the disturbed area and the duration of its exposure shall be kept within practical limits. d. Either temporary seeding, mulching or other suitable stabilization measures shall be used to protect exposed critical areas during construction or other land disturbances. e. Drainage provisions shall accommodate increased runoff resulting from modified soil and surface conditions during and after development or land disturbance. f. W ater runoff shall be minimized and retained on site wherever possible to facilitate groundwater recharge. g. Sediment shall be retained on site. h. Diversions, sediment basins and similar required structures shall be installed prior to any on-site grading or land disturbance. 2. All lots where fill material is deposited shall have clean fill and/or topsoil deposited which shall be graded to allow complete surface draining of the lot into local storm sewer systems or natural drainage courses. No regrading of a lot shall be permitted which would create or aggravate water stagnation or a drainage problem on site or on adjacent properties. Grading shall be limited to areas shown on an approved site plan or subdivision. Any topsoil disturbed during approved excavation and grading operations shall be redistributed throughout the site. 3. Excavation of soil other than as required for the construction of approved structures and supporting facilities, such as but not limited to streets, driveways and parking areas, shall be prohibited. Regrading of property so as to redistribute topsoil throughout the site from areas excavated shall be done to minimize or eliminate the erosion of soil.
B.
All erosion and sediment control measures installed shall be maintained for one (1) year after completion of the improvements or until such measures are permanently stabilized as determined by the Township Engineer, whichever is longer. 19240 3-92
& 192-52 DESIGN GUIDELINES & STANDARDS & 192-52 & 192-52. Solid Waste & Recyclable Storage & Disposal. [Amended 12-13-93 by Ord. No. 93-74] A.
Required. Solid wastes and recyclables, if stored outdoors, shall be placed in metal receptacles within a screened refuse area in accordance with the standard details on file in the Department of Planning and Engineering and subject to the following minim um standards: 1. The screened refuse area shall not be located within any front yard area. 2. The refuse storage area shall be surrounded on all sides. All commercial and industrial refuse storage area facilities shall be constructed of masonry material. All refuse storage areas shall contain swinging cedar gates and address the need for storage of recyclables. The height of the storage receptacle and stored refuse shall not exceed the height of the refuse storage area. 3. A five (5) foot minim um width landscaping area shall be provided along the fence or wall enclosing the refuse storage area. The landscaping to be provided shall be shown on the site plan submitted for approval. The planting shall be placed so at maturity the plants do not encroach upon the refuse container, nor result in an opening less than ten (10) feet for vehicle access. 4. The opening in the enclosed refuse area should be located to minimize the view of refuse from adjoining properties or public streets. 5. If located within or adjacent to a parking area or access drive, the enclosed refuse area shall be separated from such parking areas or access drive by curbing.
6. The enclosed refuse area shall not be located so as to interfere with traffic circulation or the parking of vehicles. 7. All refuse and recyclables shall be deposited in containers maintained within the refuse area. No containers shall be maintained anywhere on a site except in a refuse area meeting these requirements. 8. If outdoor storage of solid waste and recyclables is not proposed, the site plan submission shall detail the methods proposed for accommodating solid waste within the structure. The Approving Authority may require that a suitable area be set aside, but not improved, for a future solid waste storage area meeting these requirements even if indoor accommodations for solid waste are proposed. B. Multifamily Housing Developments. [Added 12-13-93 by Ord. No. 93-74] 1. In any new multifamily housing development an indoor or outdoor recycling area for the collection and storage of residentially-generated recyclable materials shall be provided. The dimensions of the recycling area shall be sufficient to accommodate recycling bins or containers which are of adequate 19241
12-93 & 192-52 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 192-53 size and num ber, and which are consistent with anticipated usage and with current methods of collection in the area in which the project is located. The dimensions of the recycling area and the bins or containers shall be determined in consultation with the municipal recycling coordinator, and shall be consistent with the district recycling plan adopted pursuant to section 3 of P.L. 1987, c. 102 (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-99.13) and any applicable requirements of the municipal master plan, adopted pursuant to section 26 of P.L. 1987, c. 102. 2. The recycling area shall be conveniently located for the residential disposition of source separated recyclable materials, preferably near, but clearly separated from, a refuse dumpster. 3. The recycling area shall be well lit, and shall be safely and easily accessible by recycling personnel and vehicles. Collection vehicles shall be able to access the recycling area without interference from parked cars or other obstacles. Reasonable measures shall be taken to protect the recycling area, and the bins or containers placed therein, against theft of recyclable materials, bins or containers. 4. The recycling area or the bins or containers placed therein shall be designed so as to provide protection against adverse environmental conditions which might render the collected materials unmarketable. Any bins or containers which are used for the collection of recyclable paper or cardboard, and which are located in an outdoor recyclable area, shall be equipped with a lid, or otherwise covered, so as to keep the paper or cardboard dry. 5. Signs clearly identifying the recycling area and the materials accepted therein shall be posted adjacent to all points of access to the recycling area. Individual bins or containers shall be equipped with signs indicating the materials to be placed therein. 6. Screening shall be provided in accordance with 192-52A above around any outdoor recycling area. & 192-53. Storm Drainage Facilities. [Amended 8-25-97 by Ord. No. 97-25; 2-27- 06 by Ord. No. 06-05; 7-20-09 by Ord. No. 09-16] For residential development these standards are superseded by Residential Site Improvement Standards (N.J.A.C., Title 5, Chapter 21). A. Scope and Purpose 1. Policy Statement Flood control, groundwater recharge, and pollutant reduction through nonstructural or low impact techniques shall be explored before relying on structural strategies. Structural strategies should be integrated with nonstructural storm water management strategies and proper maintenance plans. Nonstructural strategies include both environmentally sensitive site design and source controls that prevent pollutants from being placed on the site or from being exposed to stormwater. Source control plans should be developed based upon physical site conditions and the origin, nature, and the anticipated quantity or amount of potential pollutants. Multiple stormwater management strategies may be necessary to achieve the established performance standards for water quality, quantity, and groundwater recharge. 19242
12-09 & 192-53 DESIGN GUIDELINES & STANDARDS & 192-53 2. Purpose The purpose of this ordinance is to establish minimum stormwater management requirements and controls for “major development,” which is defined in Chapter 132-3 as “Any development or redevelopment that provides for disturbance of one quarter (1/4) acre of land. Disturbance for the purpose of this rule is the placement of impervious surface or exposure and/or movement of soil or bedrock or clearing, cutting, or removing of vegetation”.
a. This ordinance shall be applicable to all site plans and subdivisions for the following major developments that require preliminary or final site plan or subdivision review: (1) Non-residential major developments; and (2) Aspects of residential major developments that are not pre-empted by the Residential Site Improvement Standards at N.J.A.C. 5:21. (3) All major developments undertaken by East Brunswick Township
Development approvals issued for subdivisions and site plans pursuant to this ordinance are to be considered an integral part of development approvals under the subdivision and site plan review process and do not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to secure required permits or approvals for activities regulated by any other applicable code, rule, act, or ordinance. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare. This ordinance is not intended to interfere with, abrogate, or annul any other ordinances, rule or regulation, statute, or other provision of law except that, where any provision of this ordinance imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other ordinance, rule or regulation, or other provision of law, the more restrictive provisions or higher standards shall control. B. General Standards 1. Stormwater management measures for major development shall be developed to meet the erosion control, groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quantity, and stormwater runoff quality standards herein. To the maximum extent practicable, these standards shall be met by incorporating nonstructural stormwater management strategies into the design. If these strategies alone are not sufficient to meet these standards, structural stormwater management measures necessary to meet these standards shall be incorporated into the design. 2. The standards in this ordinance apply only to new major development and are intended to minimize the impact of stormwater runoff on water quality and water quantity in receiving water bodies and maintain groundwater recharge. 3. Stormwater management measures shall avoid adverse impacts of concentrated flow on habitat for threatened and endangered species as documented in the New Jersey Departm ent of Environmental Protections’s (NJDEP) Landscape Project or Natural Heritage Database established under N.J.S.A. 13:1B-15.147 through 15.150, particularly
19243
12-06 & 192-53 EAST BRUNSWICK CODE & 192-53 4. The following linear development projects are exempt from the Groundwater Recharge, Stormwater Runoff Quantity, and Stormwater Runoff Quality requirements of this Section: a. The construction of an underground utility line provided that the disturbed areas are revegetated upon completion; b. The construction of an aboveground utility line provided that the existing conditions are maintained to the maximum extent practicable; and c. The construction of a public pedestrian access, such as a sidewalk or trail with a maximum width of 14 feet, provided that the access is made of permeable material. 5. The applicant may be required by the approving authority to carry away by pipe or open ditch any spring or surface water that may exist either previously to, or as a result of the application. Such drainage facilities shall be located in the road right-of-way where feasible, or in perpetual unobstructed easements of appropriate width, and shall be constructed in accordance with the Township construction standards and specifications. 6. All storm drainage shall be piped underground, except that where it is not feasible to pipe, open ditches may be constructed. a. W here storm drainage is piped, an easement of not less than twenty-five (25) feet shall be shown on the approved plan and conveyed to the township. b. W here the storm drainage flows in an open ditch, an easement of not less than fifty (50) feet shall be shown on the approved plan and shall be conveyed to the township. The ditch shall be constructed so as to prevent erosion, be easily maintainable and shall be provided with safety features as it may deem necessary to protect and safeguard the public. 7. The applicant's Engineer shall also determine and identify to the Approving Authority the effect of each application on existing downstream drainage facilities outside the area of the application. Studies may be required of the applicant and, as shall be appropriate, shall serve as a guide to needed improvements. 8. W here in the opinion of the Township Engineer, underdrainage is required, the subdivider shall install subbase underdrains or Type F underdrains in accordance with the New Jersey State Highway Specifications of 1989 as amended and supplemented; and shall be of the size specified by the Township Engineer. If in the opinion of the Township Engineer, and existing conditions exist, the applicant may be required to construct a (supac or equivalent filter fabric) lined ditch backfilled with 3/8" washed stone, with a minimum slope of 2% and concrete porous wall pipe set in the stone and connected to a downgrade inlet. Construction of such underdrains shall be in
accordance with the standard details on file in the Department of Planning and Engineering. All underdrain systems constructed within a site or subdivision shall be provided with a clean-out in accordance with the standards details on file in the Department of Planning and Engineering. 19244
