adopted by the Supervisors by resolution, and all such fees and costs
shall be paid to the Township treasury.

necessary and make approval of the granting of any permits subject
to any such alterations, changes or modifications.
All grading, construction, installation, and erection shall
be in strict compliance with the plans and specifications on the basis
of which the permit is granted.
