When the developer has completed all of the necessary and appropriate improvements, he shall notify the Borough Council in writing, by certified or registered mail, of the completion of the aforesaid improvements and shall send a copy thereof to the Borough Engineer to inspect all of the aforesaid improvements. The Borough Engineer shall, thereupon, file a report, in writing, to the Council 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 Borough Engineer of the aforesaid authorization from the Council. Said report shall be detailed and shall indicate approval or rejection of said improvements, either in whole or in part. If said improvements or any portion thereof shall not be approved or shall be rejected by the Borough Engineer, said report shall contain a statement of reasons for such nonapproval or rejection.

The Council shall notify the developer, in writing, by certified mail of the action of the Council with regard to approval, nonapproval or rejection of improvements.

If any portion of said improvements shall not be approved or shall be rejected by the Council, the developer shall proceed to complete those improvements, 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 and are accepted by the borough. In addition, 10% of the performance guaranty shall be held back by the borough until the developer has posted a maintenance guaranty and as-built plans are verified and accepted by the borough. The maintenance guaranty shall total 15% of the total costs of the public improvements and shall be binding for a period of 18 months.
E. 
Partial releases of the performance guaranty during the period of construction shall be authorized as per § 220-20.
Within 60 days after completion and borough approval of subdivision or land development improvements as shown on final plans and before borough acceptance of such improvements, the developer shall submit to the Council a plan showing actual locations, dimensions and conditions of streets and all other public improvements, including easements showing geometry and monument locations certified by a registered engineer to be in accordance with actual construction. As-built plans shall show elevations and inverts to all manholes, pipes and roads.
A. 
Upon completion of any public improvements shown on an approved subdivision plan and within 90 days after approval of such public improvements as herein provided, the developer shall submit written offer of such public improvements for dedication to the borough. Said offer shall include a deed of dedication covering said public improvements, together with satisfactory proof establishing the developer's clear title to said property. Such documents are to be filed with the Borough Secretary for review of the Borough Solicitor. Deeds of dedication for public improvements may be accepted by resolution of the Borough Council at the regular meeting thereof. The Council may require that at least 50% of the lots in any approved subdivision or land development (or phase thereof, if final plan approval has been in phases) have certificates of occupancy issued for buildings thereon prior to acceptance of dedication. Should the streets, even though constructed according to the specifications of this chapter, deteriorate before said 50% of the lots have certificates of occupancy issued, such streets shall be repaired in a manner acceptable to the Borough Council before being accepted by the borough.

The Council may require that certain subdivision and land development improvements remain undedicated, with maintenance the responsibility of individual lot owners, a homeowners' association or similar entity or an organization capable of carrying out maintenance responsibilities.
A. 
Where the Borough Council accepts dedication of all or some of the required improvements following completion (whether such dedication is in the fee or by an easement), the Council shall require the posting of financial security to secure the structural integrity of the improvements and the functioning of the improvements in accordance with the design and specifications as depicted on the final plan. The security shall be in the form as is authorized for the deposit of the performance guaranty, as described in § 220-18, shall be for a term of 18 months from the date of the acceptance of dedication and shall be in an amount equal to 15% of the actual costs of installation of the improvements so dedicated.
B. 
Where maintenance of stormwater retention facilities or private streets is to be the responsibility of individual lot owners, a homeowners' association or similar entity or an organization capable of carrying out maintenance responsibilities, the Council shall require that maintenance responsibilities be set forth in perpetual covenants or deed restrictions binding on the landowners' successors in interest and may further require that an initial maintenance fund be established in a reasonable amount.
