The applicant shall construct all roads, streets,
lanes or alleys, together with all other improvements, including but
not limited to grading, paving, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streetlights,
fire hydrants, water mains, street signs, shade trees, storm drainage
facilities, sanitary sewers, landscaping, traffic control devices,

in conformance with the final plan, as approved, the applicable provisions
of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Specifications, Form
408, dated 1976, or the latest revision thereto, and all other applicable
laws, statutes, ordinances, codes and regulations.
If all public improvements are not fully constructed prior to a request for the issuance of any building permit, then no building permit shall be issued except upon the submission of a performance guaranty for the construction of such improvements, which shall be provided in accordance with §
123-18A(4) of this Part
1. In the event that such performance guaranty is provided, then release therefrom shall be in accordance with the following procedure:
A. When the developer has completed all of the necessary
and appropriate improvements, the developer shall notify the Board,
in writing, by certified or registered mail, of the completion of
the aforesaid improvements and shall send a copy thereof to the Township
Engineer. The Board shall, within 10 days after receipt of such notice,
direct and authorize such Township Engineer to inspect all of the
aforementioned improvements. The Township Engineer shall thereupon
file a report, in writing, with the Board and shall promptly mail
a copy of the same to the developer by certified mail. The report
shall be made and mailed within 30 days after receipt by the Township
Engineer of the aforesaid authorization from the Board; and said report
shall contain a statement of reasons for such nonapproval or rejection.
Approval of improvements shall not be given until all construction
debris has been disposed of through appropriate measures; no such
debris shall be buried, burned or otherwise disposed of on the site
except in compliance with properly issued regulatory permits.
[Amended 10-27-1992 by Ord. No. 2-1992]
B. The Board shall notify the developer, within 15 days
of receipt of the Township Engineer's report, in writing, by certified
or registered mail, of the action of the Board with relation to approval,
nonapproval or rejection of improvements.
[Amended 10-27-1992 by Ord. No. 2-1992]
C. If any portion of said improvements shall not be approved
or shall be rejected by the Board, the developer shall proceed to
complete the same and, upon completion, the same procedure of notification,
as outlined herein, shall be followed.
D. The developer shall be responsible for maintenance of all subdivision or land development improvements until such improvements are offered for dedication to and accepted by the Township, and 10% of the performance guaranty shall be held back until a maintenance guaranty as provided for in §
123-53 has been posted and as-built plans are verified and the plans and improvements are accepted by the Township.
Within 30 days after completion and Township
approval of subdivision and land development improvements as shown
on final plans, and before acceptance of such improvements, the applicant
shall submit to the Board a corrected copy of said plans showing actual
dimensions, location and conditions of streets and all other improvements,
certified by a professional engineer to be in accordance with the
actual construction thereof.
