Upon completion of the inspection and approval
of the public improvements, the developer shall submit a request to
Borough Council, in writing, to accept the dedication of the public
improvements. The request for acceptance shall include deeds of dedication
and all other legal descriptive documents necessary to prepare a resolution
or ordinance and shall be submitted at least 20 days prior to the
regular meeting of Borough Council. At the regular meeting, Borough
Council shall enact a resolution or ordinance accepting the public
improvements as part of the Borough's public facilities, subject to
the posting of the maintenance bond required by this chapter.
Prior to the end of the eighteen-month period
when the maintenance bond expires and before the maintenance bond
is released, the Borough Engineer shall make a final inspection and
certify in writing to Borough Council that all the public improvements
are in good order. If any repairs are required or maintenance needed,
the developer shall be notified in writing, and such repairs or maintenance
shall be done and approved prior to certification by the Borough Engineer.
The applicant shall be responsible from the
time there is at least one occupant in the proposed development to
plow snow and disperse anti-skid material on development roads as
may be necessary to provide ingress and egress to the occupants at
the applicant's cost, prior to the acceptance of dedicated streets,
The applicant shall post with the Borough the sum of $1,000 as an
escrow to provide for snow removal and the dispersal of anti-skid
material prior to acceptance of dedication of the streets. All payments
to the Borough for said snow removal and dispersal of anti-skid material
shall be made from the escrow fund. In the event that the escrow should
become depleted, the applicant shall post an additional sum of $1,000
and such further amounts as may be necessary until such time as the
dedication of the streets is accepted by the Borough.
In any case where Borough Council shall refuse
to approve any plats submitted to them in accordance with this Subdivision
and Land Development Ordinance, any person aggrieved by the action
of Borough Council may appeal as provided by law to the Court of Common
Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
If any road or any drainage facilities in connection
therewith, shall be opened, constructed, or dedicated for public use
or travel, except in strict accordance with plats approved and recorded
as herein provided, neither Borough Council nor any public authorities
shall place, construct, or operate any sewer, drain, water pipe or
other facilities, or do any work of any kind, in or upon such road;
and neither Borough Council nor any other public authorities, shall
have responsibility of any kind with respect to any such road or drainage
facilities, notwithstanding any use of the same by the public.
