Appeals from the actions of the Board of Supervisors
with respect to any application for subdivision or land development
approval shall be governed by the provisions of Act 247 as they may
be amended from time to time, or any successor legislation thereto.
[Amended 1-17-2006 by Ord. No. 06-01]
If, in the opinion of the Township Engineer,
the nature of any land disturbance work is such that it may create
a hazard to human life or endanger adjoining property or property
at a higher or lower elevation, or any street or street improvement,
or any other public property, then the Township Engineer may require
that such an applicant file a certificate of insurance showing that
he is insured against claims for damages for personal injury and property
damage (including damage to Upper Uwchlan Township by deposit or washing
of material onto municipal streets or other public improvements),
which may arise from or out of the performance of the work, whether
such performance be by himself, his subcontractor, or any person directly
or indirectly employed by him. The amount of such insurance shall
be prescribed by the Township in accordance with its determination
of the risks involved in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
Such insurance shall be written by a company licensed to do business
in Pennsylvania and approved by the Township. Neither issuance of
a permit nor compliance with the provisions thereto or any condition
imposed by the Township shall relieve any person from any responsibility
for damage to persons or property otherwise imposed by law, nor shall
it impose any liability upon the Township for damages to persons or
property.
