Site Plan Review
- 1. SERVING YOUR BOARD Going Beyond the Site Plan Memo
- 5. As new curbing is being installed, could the landscaped area in front of the restaurant be slightly expanded and extended southward? The southern curb could be widened to 12’R to match the north curb. Low level landscaping could be installed to allow safer movements for vehicles backing out around the bend. The front drive aisle is currently 25.4’ wide, which could be reduced to 22’ in width, as the required minimum width of a one-way aisles is fifteen (15’) feet wide. This would increase the open space and better control vehicular movements. site plan review
- 6. site plan review “more efficient use of land” “better balance between parking and open space” (when there is excess parking and a deficiency in open space) “curb appeal” or “act as a gateway to the municipality” “sidewalks should be provided flush with the interior right-of-way to maximize the distance between the curb and sidewalk” (Bus routes? Schools? Pedestrian safety?) “lighting pollution” vs. “prevent interference with commercial aviation routes to the airport”
- 11. site plan review Figure 9-7. Trees, when located on both sides of the street, create a sense of enclosure that discourages drivers from speeding. Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access, USDOT Federal Highway Administration, 2001 Studies have shown, “patients recovering from surgery who had a view of a grove of trees through their windows required fewer pain relievers, experienced fewer complications, and left the hospital sooner than similar patients who had a view of a brick wall” (Ulrich, R. 1984, View through Window May Influence Recovery from Surgery. Science 224). Additional research has documented that the appropriate use of nature reduces stress (Tyson, Lambert & Beattie, 2002); improves health outcomes (Parsons and Hartig, 2001; Ulrich, 1999); supports pain management (Ulrich, 1984); and promotes a sense of overall well-being among patients, visitors, and staff (Mack, 2001). Shade trees should be provided around the perimeter of the play area to provide shade, per the safety guidelines of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (1997 edition) of the "Handbook for Public Playground Safety" (Pub. No. 325), adopted by reference as the Playground Safety Subcode for New Jersey, which states “Consider shading the playground or providing shaded areas nearby.”

This nationally recognized green building rating system outlines specific standards for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, material selection and indoor environmental quality. McDonald’s participation in the pilot version of the LEED Retail program helped to develop the current LEED Retail rating system for all retailers” (page 33). site plan review

- 27. zoning code • OPEN SPACE. Increase size requirements of contiguous open space (can reduce setback to accommodate this). • PERMITTED USES. Explicitly permit good accessory uses: balconies, outdoor seating, solar energy, etc. • TOWERS. For telecommunications towers, the necessary evil. – Prove it’s not possible to co-locate – Design requirements (camouflage, stealth, monopole, etc.) – Performance standards (buffer, access drive, etc.)

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Suburban area is most important, greatest opportunity and biggest challenge for change
- ‘Fight or Flight’, by the Metropolitan Philadelphia Policy Center
- We can do this one site plan at a time (i.e. Haddonfield Road)
- -Ask a question, as opposed to telling -connect A to B, explain rationale -draw out difficult concepts -be specific (specify feet)
- i.e. lighting ordinance: lighting pollution? Hahaha, interferes with the commercial aviation path to the airport, ok. i.e. “efficient use of land” i.e. excess parking, but open space deficiency? “better balance between parking and open space” i.e. curb appeal = near municipal boundary? Gateway? Redevelopment area? i.e. sidewalks (bus routes? Schools, synagogues, etc.), flush with interior right of way = maximize distance between curb and sidewalk.
- Utilize THEIR sources (FHWA, ITE)
- Utilize THEIR sources (FHWA, ITE)
- Utilize THEIR sources (FHWA, ITE, DVPRC, Department of Justice, etc.)
- Utilize THEIR sources (FHWA, ITE, DVPRC, Department of Justice, etc.)
- Use standards, for each specific use Quote your master plan, special area studies, other plans, guidebooks, federal documents, ITE, etc. Connected streets = Obama, Emergency service access NJDOT Complete Streets Policy
- Use photos and graphs, as well as existing photos to document conditions
- Show them how it should be
- Google image search is your friend, embarrass them into it! “neighborhood prototype” vs. “standard prototype”, get specific about types of improvements: Ground level windows, cloth awnings, canopies or porticos, arches, friezes, tile work, murals, or moldings, green wall, façade articulation, pilasters, parapet variation, roof detailing such as cornices, moldings, trim, or variations in brick coursing, etc.
- Also have a Wal-Mart with dormers
- Look for other best practices, it’s better to look local Use APA, looking for a good plan, who’s been awarded a good plan lately (i.e. sustainability plan, bike/ped plan, etc.)
- Connect resources (Cherry Hill High School West, Kingston Assembly, etc.) Administrative approval? Ask for a tree or two, a fence, bench, etc.
- regulate and quantify your landscaping requirements = everybody on the same page
- -establish maximum widths for drive aisle and curb cuts -parking maximums -compact car parking -thermoplastic vs. paint, continental over angled striping (lasts longer) -bike parking ‘No Idling’ signs, as recommended by NJDEP (www.stopthesoot.org), shall be wall-mounted and maintained in prominent locations at reasonable intervals to be readily visible to vehicles subject to the idling restrictions within all loading areas.
- Stormwater (exceeding the state requirement) -does the water flow there? Retrofit that grate too Basin (again, specify and quantify so everyone’s on the same page) -setbacks -design (no box), “The shape of the basin shall be irregular and asymmetrical in nature, maximizing the preservation of existing tree stands and vegetation.” -specify the landscaping! (we did it by storm levels) -restrict mowing -Actually read the basin report for conformance, don’t just leave it to the engineer -additional (and non conventional) sources of technical guidance (CNU stormwater zones, Rutgers rain garden manual, etc.)
- 5. Sign Base. a. Monument. Signs utilizing a monument base or style sign when not required, shall be allowed an additional ten (10) square feet than what is permitted in size. All monument signs shall be a maximum of ten (10’) feet in height, with the bottom of any text being three (3’) feet above grade or higher. b. Pole Design. All freestanding signs utilizing a pole base shall be skirted to enclose the supporting pole or pylon of the sign from the bottom of the sign to the ground. The skirting shall not be included in the sign size calculation unless it displays a message. In substitution of the skirting, a masonry or similar decorative base may be utilized. c. Landscaping. The base of the freestanding sign shall be surrounded with a combination of shrubs, ground cover, flowers, or other plant material, as large as at least the same size as the area of copy.
- -increase open space to 500sf = more meaningful open space, reduce setback minimums to accommodate this -good accessory uses to explicitly permit: balconies, outdoor seating, solar energy infrastructure, -telecommunications tower? Prove you can’t co-locate, design requirements (camouflage, stealth, monopole, etc.), performance standards (buffer, access drive), etc.
