Any applicant for a building permit shall, in the discretion
of the Code Official, be requested to deposit a performance guarantee
sufficient to guarantee the following:
A. The establishment or reestablishment of ditches and culverts to properly
drain the building area covered by the site plan and the reopening
or reestablishment of any drainageways that may have been interrupted
by the building construction.
B. The repair, replacement and reconstruction of any public road surfaces
damaged in the course of construction so that the same shall be in
comparable status as they existed prior to the commencement of building
construction.
C. The repair of all public utility structures damaged during the course
of construction and the restoration and adjustment of all manholes,
catch basins, grate wells, hydrants and shutoff boxes to the same
conditions that they were in prior to the commencement of building
construction.
D. The establishment of grades on the site pursuant to plans approved
by the Township.
E. The completion of all work necessary to obtain a final certificate
of occupancy for any building for which a building permit has been
issued.
F. The full and complete compliance with all of the provisions of this
chapter and other chapters of the Township Code.
[Amended 4-15-2010]
The performance guarantee shall be returned to the applicant
when all fees that are due have been paid; inspection of the building
and site improvements for which the performance guarantee was provided
have been performed; and the Code Official has determined that the
conditions and requirements of the permit/approval for which the performance
guarantee is to secure have been met and final approval of same has
been granted. There shall be no interest paid to the applicant for
any performance guarantee. The performance guarantee may be returned
by sending the same by first-class mail to the applicant at the address
set forth in the application for the building permit. In the event
that said mailing is returned undelivered, all such funds shall be
held by the Township and returned to the applicant on demand. If no
such demand is made within one year after the issuance of the certificate
of occupancy, any such funds so held shall be forever forfeited.
