The official filing date for all applications
for development shall be the date of the regular Planning Commission
meeting next following the date the complete application for development
including payment of the applicable filing fee, provided that should
the said next regular meeting occur more than 30 days following the
filing of the application for development, the official filing date
shall be the 30th day following the day the complete application for
development is filed.
In the event that the public and private improvements
required to be installed by the provisions of this chapter are not
installed in accordance with the requirements of this chapter or the
final plat prior to the expiration of the improvement security, the
Township shall have the power to enforce the improvement security
by appropriate legal and equitable remedies provided by the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If proceeds from the improvement
security are insufficient to pay the cost of installing or making
repairs or corrections to all the improvements guaranteed by such
improvement security, the Township may, at its option, install part
of the public improvements in all or part of the subdivision or land
development and may institute appropriate legal or equitable action
to recover the moneys necessary to complete the remainder of the improvements.
All of the proceeds, whether resulting from the improvement security
or from any legal or equitable action brought against the developer,
or both, shall be used solely for the installation of the improvements
guaranteed by such improvement security and not for any other municipal
purpose.
Approval of private improvements for which an
improvement security has been required and final release of that improvement
security shall indicate compliance with the specifications shown on
the approved plan; however, it shall not imply approval by the Township
of the method of construction or structural integrity of the private
improvements beyond that which is shown on the approved plan, nor
shall there be any liability associated with or responsibility for
maintenance of those improvements by the Township. The developer shall
not be required to post a maintenance security for private improvements.
Prior to the end of the eighteen-month period
when the maintenance security expires and before the maintenance security
is released, the Township Engineer shall make a final inspection and
certify in writing to the Supervisors that all the public improvements
are in good order. If any repairs are required or maintenance needed,
the developer shall be notified in writing, and such repairs or maintenance
shall be done and approved prior to certification by the Township
Engineer.
