exclusive of local deliveries.
The Board of Supervisors may issue a permit for the use of the roads
and highways maintained and owned by the Township of Raccoon by vehicles or
combination of vehicles in excess of the eight-ton weight restriction hereby
imposed where it appears there is no other means of access and the proposed
user posts a surety bond or like security satisfactory to the Supervisors
of the Township of Raccoon, and conditioned upon the user restoring and repairing
any damage to the road or highway for which a permit is issued.
The surety bond or other security for the use of Township roads and
highways will be in an amount as set from time by resolution of the Board
of Supervisors.
No permit issued shall be issued for a period in excess of six months
and the Supervisors may issue permits of less than six months.
Prior to the issuance of any permit the Township Engineer shall inspect
the road or highway for which a permit is to be issued, which inspection may
include the taking of photographs and a written report of which shall be delivered
to the Township Supervisors. The Township Engineer shall also inspect the
road or highway at the time of expiration of a permit and report to the Supervisors
what damage, if any, has been suffered by said road or highway along with
an estimate of damage, if applicable.
A permit fee in an amount as set from time to time by resolution of
the Board of Supervisors is hereby imposed for the issuance of a permit under
this article in order to underwrite the expenses and costs of administration
of this article. The Supervisors may from time to time by resolution adjust
