The developer shall provide all improvements
required by these regulations.
[Amended 3-6-2012 by Ord. No. 59]
In the event that any improvements which may
be required have not been installed as provided in this chapter or
in accordance with the approved final plan, the Board of Supervisors
may enforce any corporate bond or other security by appropriate legal
and equitable remedies. If the proceeds of such bond or other security
are insufficient to pay the cost of the improvements covered by said
security, the Supervisors may, at their option, install part of such
improvements in all or part of the subdivision or land development
and may institute appropriate legal or equitable action or recover
the moneys necessary to complete the remainder of the improvements.
All of the proceeds, whether resulting from the security or from any
legal or equitable action brought against the applicant, or both,
shall be used solely for the installation of the improvements covered
by such security, and not for any other municipal purpose.
