[Added 12-6-2006 by Ord. No. 451-2006]
A. In order for the Township to provide for appropriate recreation facilities for all Township residents, the Planning/Zoning Board shall require all major subdivisions to post an off-tract assessment in accordance with Subsection
B herein.
B. The contribution cost is established at $5,000 on each newly created
lot (not including the original lot) and dwelling unit, as the case
may be. The requirements for such fee shall be imposed by the Planning/Zoning
Board at the time of the major subdivision approval or site plan,
and shall be made a condition to be satisfied prior to the subdivision
plat being filed with the County Clerk, it being the responsibility
of the Planning/Zoning Board Chairman to confirm such payment prior
to the signing of a final plat.
C. If the applicant perfects the subdivision by the filing of deeds
rather than the filing of the subdivision plat, the fee shall be paid
prior to the filing of such deeds. The applicant shall send written
confirmation of payment to the Chairman of the Planning/Zoning Board.
D. The contribution for dwelling units created by site plans for residential
development shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit
for any such dwelling unit.
Before any developer effectively assigns any
of his or her interest in any preliminary or final approval, he or
she must notify the Administrative Officer and supply detailed information
with regard to the name, address, principals, type of organization,
competency, experience and past performance of the assignee, transferee
or agent. Notice of such assignments or transfer shall be given no
later than 10 days after its effective date. The assignee must be
made acquainted with all the conditions of approval, and the developer
shall so certify.
A maintenance guaranty shall be furnished by the developer upon release of the performance guaranty, acceptable of public improvements by the Township Committee and/or approval of site improvements by the Township Engineer. The developer may elect to furnish such maintenance guaranty either by maintaining on deposit with the Township the ten-percent cash or certified check portion of the performance guaranty provided in accordance with §
155-74 of this article or by a bond issued by a bonding company or surety company, or other type of surety acceptable to and approved by the Township Attorney and Township Committee in an amount equal to 15% of the total performance guaranty provided in accordance with §
155-74 of this article. The maintenance guaranty shall begin with the release of the performance guaranty and shall run for a period of two years. The maintenance guaranty shall be to the effect that the applicant, developer, owner or user guarantees the complete maintenance of all improvements for a period of two years from the release of his or her performance guaranty. Should he or she fail in his or her obligation to properly maintain all improvements, the Township may, on 10 days' written notice or immediately, in the case of hazard to life, health or property, proceed with necessary repair or replacement of any unacceptable improvements and charge the cost thereof against the guaranty. At the end of the maintenance guaranty, the cash or certified check on deposit will be returned to the subdivider less any sums, properly documented by the Township, which have been expended to repair or replace any unsatisfactory improvements.
