All parking areas in all uses other than one-, two- and three-family houses shall meet all of the following requirements: a. All off-street parking areas shall be surfaced with an asphalt, bituminous, or cement binder pavement which shall be graded and drained to dispose of all surface water as provided by the Township Engineer. There shall be a five-foot- wide sidewalk at least five inches above the parking area level between any building and a parking area or drive used by the public. b. The entire perimeter of all parking areas and the edges of all entrance and exit drives shall be enclosed with a concrete or granite block curb at least six inches above the paving surface. Curbing shall not be less than five feet from any fence or screening nor less than five feet from any structure. Where required, concrete wheel stops shall be provided. c.
