Amendments noted where applicable.]
No person, firm or corporation shall grade,
construct, install or erect a drain, culvert, footwalk, drive or driveway,
or other means of ingress or egress, or affecting discharge or passage
of drainage water, onto or along a Township road unless and until
the Township has granted a permit for such grading, construction,
installation or erection.
Application for such permit shall be made by
the owner or occupier, or by his contractor or agent, in writing,
to the Township Secretary, on forms provided by the Township and in

driveway, proposed to be added, and the relationship of the foregoing
to the Township road, particularly with relationship to the effect
on the drainage of said road.
The cost of filing said application and permit
shall be as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors;
provided that in the case of an installation requiring a review or
inspection by the Township Engineer, the applicant shall, in addition,
be responsible for the reasonable cost of said review or inspection.
The Board may alter plans filed with application,
and specify any changes or modifications of any kind which it may
deem necessary, and make its approval of the granting of any permits
subject to any such alterations, changes or modifications.
All grading, construction, installation and
erection shall be in strict compliance with the plans and specifications
on the basis of which the permit is granted.
