A.
From and after the enactment hereof, all driveways within
the Township of Concord which intersect with a highway shall be constructed
so as to provide a grade of not less than one inch of fall per foot from road
edge to gutter line.
B.
Where feasible, a paved basin shall be constructed in
the gutter rather than inserting a pipe. However, where pipe is inserted in
gutters for drainage purposes, said pipe shall be inserted as established
by the Township Roadmaster.
Hereafter no driveway shall be constructed unless the property owner
first receives a permit for the construction thereof from the Township Roadmaster,
who, upon completion of the construction of said driveway, shall inspect and
approve the same. Such permit shall be good for a period of six months, and
the fee for such permit shall be as set from time to time by resolution of
the Board of Supervisors.
[Amended 12-3-1996 by Ord. No. 206]

Any person who shall violate any provision of this article
or who permits the violation of any provision of this article shall pay a

Each violation for each separate day and each violation
of any provision of this article shall constitute a separate and distinct
violation.
C.
Any person who violates or permits the violation of any
provision of this article shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil
enforcement proceeding commenced by Concord Township, pay the fine prescribed
by this article, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney fees,
incurred by Concord Township.

in, nor shall any telephone, telegraph or electric light or power poles or

Editor's Note: See 53 P.S. § 67322.
A.
Each application for a permit shall be submitted to the
township in duplicate. The township shall collect a fee as determined by the
Department of Transportation for processing the application and another fee
for making the inspection. Each application shall be accompanied by both fees.
B.
When the township grants the permit, the Board of Supervisors
or its agent shall inspect the work authorized by the permit upon completion
thereof and, when necessary, enforce compliance with the conditions, restrictions
and regulations specified by the township. In addition to that inspection,
the Board of Supervisors or its agents may reinspect the work not more than
two years after its completion, and if any settlement of the road surface
or other defect appears in the work contrary to the condition, restriction
and regulations of the township, it may enforce compliance therewith.
C.
If the applicant fails to rectify a defect which presents
an immediate or imminent safety or health problem within 48 hours or any other
defect within 60 days after written notice from the Board of Supervisors to
do so, the Board or its agents may do the work and impose upon the applicant
the cost thereof, together with an additional 20%, which may be recovered
by action in assumpsit in the court of common pleas of the county. All fees
received by the township shall be paid into the township treasury.
D.
Nothing in this article shall be construed to require
a permit in advance for emergency repairs necessary for the safety of the
public or the restoration or continuance of public utility service or other
public service, but application for the permit and the fees shall be submitted
within five days after completion of the work, after which time the remaining
provisions of this article apply. Nothing in this article authorizes the township
to regulate or control the operation of any permittee, except as specified
in this article.
