[Adopted 4-17-1990 by Ord. No. 90-34; amended in its entirety 9-18-1990 by Ord. No. 90-50]
[Amended 9-6-1994 by Ord. No. 94-87]
A.
Whenever a residential or commercial structure is
built in the R-75 and R-90 Residential Zones in the Township, the
owner of the property upon which the construction has taken place
shall be required to install curbs on said property. The owner of
the subject property, in lieu of installing curbs, may elect to pay
the Township, in cash or certified check, an amount equal to 120%
of the Township Engineer's estimate of the cost of the installation
of the curbs.
B.
The property owner shall retain the right to install
the curbs, and, upon the Township Engineer's certification that the
curbs have been installed in accordance with Township regulations,
the owner shall be entitled to a return of the money paid to the Township
for the curb installation. In the event that the property owner has
not installed the curbs by the time the Township awards a contract,
or authorizes Township personnel, to pave, repave or reconstruct the
street upon which said property abuts, the Township shall assume full
responsibility for the installation of the curbs, and the Township
shall retain all moneys paid by the property owner to the Township
for the curb installation.
[Amended 3-3-1992 by Ord. No. 92-09]
A.
All new curbs shall be constructed in accordance with
the line and grade established by the Township Engineer. It shall
be the duty of the property owner to make inquiry to the Township
Engineer respecting such line and grade. Only one driveway depression
shall be permitted for each buildable lot for each street frontage,
so that corner lots can have one driveway depression located on each
street frontage.
B.
Where a driveway depression is permitted, a concrete
apron 10 feet six inches in depth measured from the front face of
the curb shall be installed for all driveways to be constructed of
a pervious surface and a concrete apron of three feet six inches,
minimum, for all driveways to be constructed of an impervious surface,
including but not limited to bituminous concrete and concrete pavers.
All driveways shall have a minimum setback dimension from the adjoining
property line of five feet where the garage doors front a public street
or where the garage is detached from the principal structure or three
feet where the garage doors do not front a public street (i.e., side-load
garage).

Application for permit and inspection fees.
Whenever any curb or driveway apron is required to be installed, an
application for a permit shall be made by the owner of the abutting
lands or his contractor to the Zoning Officer. The application form
for the permit shall be prepared by the Zoning Officer. The fee for
the issuance of a permit for the construction of any curb or driveway
apron shall be the sum of $15, together with an inspection escrow
fee of $75; provided, however, that where an applicant is installing
continuous curbs for five or more contiguous lots, the applicant shall
have the option of having the Township Engineer prepare an estimate
for the inspection escrow and the applicant shall have the option
of paying that Engineer's estimate for the inspection escrow rather
than the escrow fee of $75 per lot. In the event of reinspection,
there shall be an additional inspection escrow fee of $45.
No final certificate of occupancy shall be issued
for any house or commercial building constructed on property subject
to the provisions of this article until such time as the curbs have
been installed in accordance with the provisions of this article.
The failure of the owner or his contractor to
construct such curbs in accordance with the requirements of this article
shall be and constitute a violation hereof. Any person violating the
terms of this article shall be subject to a fine of not less than
$100 nor more than $1,000.
