(2) Section 155.068: blocks;
(3) Section 155.069: lots;
(4) Section 155.091(C): curbs;
(5) Section 155.091(D): sidewalks; and
(6) Section 155.091(H): off-street parking.
(B) The following design standards apply to recreational and seasonal land developments not covered elsewhere in this chapter.
(1) Streets.
(a) The land development shall be designed to provide an access and internal traffic circulation system adequate to accommodate the type and volume of traffic to be generated and shall be constructed to provide a sound, all-weather driving surface, reasonably smooth, free from mud, dust and/or standing water. All private streets shall be considered to be required improvements. The following minimum standards apply to all private streets.
1. Right-of-way width: 40 feet.
2. Cartway width: 16 feet for two-way roads; ten feet for one-way roads.
3. Cartway construction: six inches of suitable, compacted and graded stone base material to provide a permanent and all-weather surface which will facilitate storm drainage management.
4. Maximum allowable grade: the maximum allowable grade for private roads shall be a 14% slope for distances of no more than 500 feet; however, special drainage measures and considerations will be required on grades exceeding a 6% slope, including special roadway cross-sections, grading, shoulder construction and stabilization, cross-drainage structures and cut-and-fill slopes, as recommended and/or accepted by the Township Engineer.
5. Cul-de-sac minimum standards: while there are no minimum or maximum length requirements, excessively long segments are discouraged due to emergency vehicle access considerations. A turnaround area shall be provided at the terminus of all dead-end and/or cul-de-sac segments having an unobstructed maneuvering area equal to a 50-foot turning radius.
(b) The internal street and roadway system shall be privately owned and appropriately noted on the final plan and provide safe and convenient access to all campsites and facilities. The alignment and gradients of all internal streets and roadways shall be properly adapted to the topography, to the types of anticipated traffic and to the satisfactory control of surface water. Points of connection between the private street and roadway system and the existing public street system shall be designed to avoid congestion and hazardous intersections, in accordance with § 155.067(G), intersections.
(2) Lots. Individual campsites shall be comprised of a minimum area of at least 1,500 square feet, with no more than a total of 15 individual campsites per acre. Each campsite shall be accessible from the private street/roadway system without the necessity to cross any other campsite. In addition, recreation vehicle campsites shall have a minimum width of 40 feet and a minimum depth of 50 feet or 30% longer than the maximum length of the recreational vehicle anticipated to occupy the space.
(3) Parking. Parking spaces shall be provided to accommodate the number and size of vehicles anticipated. Parking spaces for all campsite users shall be on the campsite lot. In addition, a minimum of one parking space for every two campsites shall be provided for visitors. Parking spaces for visitors may be on a common parking area. The parking spaces shall be of a compacted and graded stone base material to provide a permanent and all weather surface and support the types, lengths and weights of vehicles anticipated to use the facility.
(4) Campsites. Individual campsites and accessory buildings shall be designed to be at least 50 feet from any arterial highway or 35 feet from any other type of public right-of-way. Recreational vehicle campsites for trailers, campers and/or motor homes shall contain a stabilized vehicular parking pad of shale, gravel, stone, paving or other suitable material and shall be dimensioned that when any space is occupied, no portion of any camping unit shall be within ten feet of any portion of any other camping unit or accessory building and at least 15 feet from any internal private roadway.
(5) Relationship with adjoining properties. The design of proposed land developments governed by this section shall take into account potential effects and impacts on adjacent properties. A landscaped buffer strip having a minimum width of 20 feet shall be provided along the perimeter of the land development, within which no campsites shall be located.
(6) Minimum acreage. The minimum size for a recreation vehicle park is five acres, of which 10% shall be set aside and developed as common use areas for open and unenclosed recreation facilities, which may include any required buffer areas.
