All premises fronting on any Township road, county road or state highway shall be cleared of litter, debris and/or other traffic-generated debris from a point beginning at the edge of the roadway to the right-of-way line inward therefrom for the entire length of the tract fronting the road.
B. 
All nonmunicipal streets in any development that are regularly used as a means of access for residents or businesses shall be cleared of debris by sweeping or other means that will remove loose stones, mud, accumulations of dirt or sand, hay, construction debris or similar matter on an as-needed basis, but at least once every seven days.

At a minimum, the developer or owner shall provide a clear, continuous path across the front of all lots on one or both sides of a street which shall be free at all times of construction materials, construction equipment, rocks of a diameter greater than two inches, surface conditions that present an unreasonable risk of tripping or falling, weeds or grasses higher than eight inches, or ice and snow. Such path shall be at least four feet wide and the path shall have a surface of either hay, grass, bark, wood chips or stone.

Failure to remove ice and snow within the requisite period of time shall result in the penalties provided by § 87-29 of this article. Additionally, should the snow and ice not be removed within eight hours after the same has fallen or has formed thereon, the municipality may provide for the removal of same. The cost of removal of such snow and ice by the municipality shall be certified to the governing body of the municipality. The governing body shall examine such certificate and, if found to be correct, shall cause such cost to be charged against such real property, and the amount so charged shall thereupon become a lien and a tax upon such real property and be added to and be part of the taxes collected with interest in the same manner as other taxes, and/or made a billing on developer's escrow account and/or bonding requirements.
