No person, firm or corporation shall clear or
improve any land for a street, right-of-way, road or avenue which
has or may be dedicated to public use and which is not an accepted
street until a permit has been previously obtained from the Township
Committee of the Township of Boonton authorizing such clearing or
improvement.
The provisions of §
102-56 shall apply with respect to the posting of performance and maintenance guaranties.
No street, road or avenue in the Township of
Boonton shall hereafter be accepted as a public street or road, nor
shall any extension of a water main, sanitary sewer or gas main, or
any connection with such mains, or any streetlight be made or placed
therein until the same shall have been approved in accordance with
the requirements as set forth in § 102-67B.
Permanent street signs shall be erected at all
street intersections, as approved by the Township Engineer.
All construction work, including workmanship and materials, shall be subject to the inspection of the Township Engineer, who shall be notified by the developer at least 72 hours prior to the start of construction. No underground installation shall be covered until inspected and approved by said Township Engineer. The developer shall be required to pay to the Township of Boonton such inspection fees as set forth in §
82-1D(2) pursuant to §
102-15B. No improvement shall be accepted by the governing body until the Township Engineer has received and approved tracings showing the plans, grades and profiles of all improvements as finally constructed.
The owner or developer, exclusive of the Township
of Boonton, shall, during the maintenance period, keep and protect
the street pavement and appurtenances in good condition. If this requirement
is not complied with, the Township Committee hereby reserves the right
to revoke building permits and stop construction until such time as
the owner or developer complies with this Article.
The requirements hereof shall be considered
minimum requirements for street improvements in the Township of Boonton.
However, if the owner or developer can clearly demonstrate that, because
of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land, the literal enforcement
of one or more of these regulations is impracticable or will exact
undue hardship, the Township Committee may permit such variance or
variances as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and
intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by this
Article.
