[Amended 11-16-1987 by Ord. No. 405-87]
No driveway or field entrance may be constructed within or along an existing Borough street unless the owner first obtains a driveway permit from the Borough Engineer or Zoning Officer. The applicant shall pay the Borough an application fee as prescribed in Chapter
10, Fees, of this Code and shall further deposit with the Borough Clerk an amount to be determined by the Borough Engineer, not to exceed $1,000, which shall constitute an inspection deposit from which the Borough shall be reimbursed for the expense incurred for engineering site inspections required.
No building permit shall be issued by the Zoning Officer for
the construction or alteration of any structure where it appears from
the review of the application for such permit that a driveway permit
is also required, in which case the applicant shall obtain a driveway
permit, and all work required thereunder shall be completed, except
that the surface course of bituminous concrete may be completed after
issuance of the certificate of occupancy, provided that a sum sufficient
to reimburse the Borough to pay for the cost of completing the improvement
has been deposited with the Borough Clerk or has been provided for
through issuance of a performance bond satisfactory in amount to the
Borough Engineer and in form to the Borough Attorney.
The Borough Engineer shall be notified 48 hours prior to the
commencement of work so as to permit an inspection of the work.
Any person or persons, firm or corporation violating any of
the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be
subject to a fine of $75 per day for any violation of this chapter.
Each and every day that said violation continues shall constitute
a separate and specific violation.
