DRAFT PROPOSED REVISIONS – OCTOBER 2011 25-8.5 Accessory Uses in Relation to Stream or Drainageways. In any district, no building or accessory building and no wall or fence shall be permitted within fifteen (15) feet of the center line of any stream, water course, or other natural drainage line which carries storm water run-off, in order that access by the duly constituted authorities or the Township may be assured for the purpose of cleaning, dredging and otherwise maintaining such drainage line. In the application of this subsection to a particular lot the Township Engineer shall determine whether access to the stream, intermittent watercourse or natural drainage line which forms a part of such is necessary in the public interest. (Ord. No. 904-88 § 25-5.2E) 25-8.6 Infrastructure Requirements. No site plan shall be approved for development unless sufficient capacity exists in the public sanitary sewers, and storm sewers, or will be made available prior to the start of construction and that there is adequate access to public streets. (Ord. No. 904-88 § 25-5.2F) 25-8.7 Commercial Antennas. Commercial antennas are absolutely prohibited in all districts except as hereinafter set forthin those districts in which they are permitted as a conditional use. The conditional use requirements for commercial antennas are set forth in Section 25-24.2b(2)(e). a. The erection of a commercial antenna in a business, commercial or industrial zone only shall be a conditional use subject to approval by the Planning Board, which shall require the prior submission of a site plan and appropriate engineering drawings, as well as a statement certified by a qualified engineer indicating the projected effective radiated power of all transmitted signals, the probable radiation pattern and an analysis of any potential for reception interference by electronic receiving devices of good design. Approval shall not be denied on the grounds of reception interference but the Planning Board shall submit its comments and objections to the appropriate Federal and State agencies and may withhold decision until such agency response is received. Approval of a commercial antenna may be granted by the Planning Board upon a finding that the site plan and design are structurally sound and conform to local engineering

onse is received. Approval of a commercial antenna may be granted by the Planning Board upon a finding that the site plan and design are structurally sound and conform to local engineering regulations, that the antenna does not result in an undue concentration of such structures in particular location, and that the antenna meets the height limitations hereinafter set forth. b. Applications to the Planning Board for approval of a commercial antenna shall clearly state the number, location and size of all radiating elements. The addition or change in location of any radiating element or elements after Planning Board approval shall be preceded by the submission of a new application for approval which shall set forth the number, location and size of any such addition or change in location of a radiating element and any necessary amendments to prior documents, including the engineering report with respect to radiation. c. The Planning Board may deny or limit approval of a commercial antenna if it reasonably concludes that the number, size and location of the radiating elements are not required for the proposed operation under FCC license, are intended for rental, lease or sale to other persons for unrelated operations and impair the visual environment. d. Each application for Planning Board approval hereunder shall include, if not heretofore placed on file with the Planning Board, a true copy of applicant's FCC Applications and FCC Filings relating to existing or proposed operation with the Township of West Orange made within three (3) years of the application. After the date of filing of the application with the Planning Board and thereafter, unless approval is finally denied, applicant shall promptly serve on the Planning Board a true copy of each FCC filing made by applicant. e. No commercial antenna shall exceed a height of two hundred (200) feet. (Ord. No. 904-88 § 25-5.2G) 32
