5. Grading and Drainage-
a. Except as may be noted below, proposed site grading reflects a conceptually acceptable design. Proposed site grading will properly convey all stormwater flows to stormwater management facilities while still providing for acceptable parking and driveway area slopes.
a.1 Chapter 364 of the Municipal Code regulates soil and fill importation and required proper permitting be secured. No permit is required for any development that requires Planning Board/Zoning Board approval provided said approval contains conditions that meet the specific standards of Chapter 364. Should the current application anticipate placement of fill as regulated by Chapter 364, the applicant should be prepared to address how the specific provisions of Chapter 364 are being met. Specifically:
The applicant submits proof that the soil/fill material has been tested consistent with any applicable requirements of Chapter 364.
The soil/fill meets the definition of “acceptable soil/fill” per Chapter 364.
The application otherwise conforms with the standards of Chapter 364.
The applicant's attention is directed to Chapter 364-3.E.2 for the specific information which must be provided on the plans currently under consideration by the Board.
a.2 Ordinance 244-166 Regulated Soil Removal as follows:
No topsoil, subsoil sand or gravel shall be removed from any property or site in any zone unless and until a soil removal permit and/or license shall be obtained pursuant to Chapter 185, Excavations, Mining and Dredging, of the Code of the Township of Jackson; provided, however, that the following exceptions shall apply:
The Township Engineer may issue a soil removal permit, in conjunction with a building permit application, for removal of soil for building foundations and other structures, provided that the total amount of soil to be removed from any site does not exceed 500 cubic yards.
The Planning Board may approve a soil removal permit, as a condition of its approval of an application for development, upon finding that the removal is necessary for the development of the site as approved by the Board, and further provided that the amount of soul to be removed from property or site does not exceed 1,000 cubic yards.
The applicant should confirm the 1,000 CY limitation will not be exceeded or if soil removal permit is required.
b2. Stormwater management facilities consist of a porous pavement recharge area.
Although conceptually acceptable, the applicant should address:
Stormwater system construction, inspection and maintenance responsibilities.
Dewatering times.
Design compliance with Ordinance 244-209 relating to stormwater management facilities.
