[Adopted 7-11-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-7]
The owner or owners of the real estate along
which improvements are undertaken for the construction, reconstruction,
paving and repaving, curbing and recurbing, repairing and improving
of driveway aprons, sidewalks, curbs and gutters along the streets
and highways in the Township shall be made at the expense of the owner
or owners thereof.
Before undertaking such improvements, the Township
Committee shall cause a notice of the proposed improvement to be given
to the owner or owners of all real estate affected thereby. Said notice
shall contain a description of the improvement and a statement that
unless the owner or owners complete the same within 30 days after
service thereof, the Township will make the improvement at the expense
of the owner(s).
If the owner or owners of the real estate affected by such improvements shall fail to make such improvements after notice is given in accordance with § 342-28 above, the Township may cause the improvement(s) to be made under supervision of the municipal engineer, who shall keep an accurate account of the cost thereof and shall assess such cost upon the several properties fronting on the improvement in proportion to the respective frontage thereof, and file a report thereof with the municipal Clerk. The Township Committee shall examine such report and, if properly made, confirm and file it with the officer charged with the collection of assessments, who shall record the same in the book in which other assessments of the Township are recorded. Before confirming the report, the Township Committee shall give notice to the owner or owners of the time and place fixed for examination of the report.
All sidewalks, driveway aprons, curbs and gutters
in the Township shall be well and sufficiently constructed, repaved
and maintained, under the supervision of the municipal engineer, at
the expense of the person or persons in front of or along whose lot
or lots ground such paving, curbing, or guttering may be required
to be done.
