Upon completion of the public and/or private improvements in
a plan, "as-built" plans and profiles of the public and/or private
improvements, as constructed, shall be filed with the Township Zoning
Officer by the developer within 10 days of the mailing of the notice
of completion. An electronic form of the plan, compatible with the
Township's graphic information system, and a sepia and print of each
"as-built" drawing for public and/or private improvements shall be
submitted. "As-built" plans and profiles shall be marked "as-built"
and shall contain the final grade of all sanitary and storm sewers

[Ord. 686, 8/12/2015]
If, upon final inspection of the site by the Township Engineer and the Township Zoning Officer, the installation of all private improvements has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, all applicable provisions of the Township Zoning Ordinance [Chapter
27], and the terms of the approved plan, the Township Zoning Officer shall issue a certificate of completion which bears the signatures of the Township Engineer and the Township Zoning Officer. The certificate of completion shall be prerequisite to the issuance of the permanent certificate of occupancy required by the Township Zoning Ordinance [Chapter
27].
[Ord. 686, 8/12/2015]
Issuance of the certificate of completion of private improvements required by §
22-710 shall indicate approval by the Township of private improvements for which an amenities bond has been posted. Final release of the amenities bond shall not occur until the certificate of completion is issued and shall only indicate compliance with the specifications shown on the approved plan. Such approval and release of the amenities bond shall not imply approval by the Township or the Township Engineer of the method of construction or the structural integrity of the private improvements, nor shall there be any liability associated with or responsibility for maintenance of those private improvements by the Township. A maintenance bond shall not be required to be posted for private improvements as a condition of release of the amenities bond.
[Ord. 686, 8/12/2015]
Following issuance of the certificate of completion and release of the amenities bond, the landowner shall be responsible for maintaining all private improvements in good condition and repair to the satisfaction of the Township. All private improvements shown on the approved land development plan shall be maintained in the location shown on the approved plan and in conformance with the specifications shown on the approved plan, unless a revised plan is subsequently approved by the Township. Failure to continue to maintain private improvements in an approved plan or any deviation from the terms of the approved plan without prior approval of the Township shall constitute a violation of this chapter and, if requirements of the Township Zoning Ordinance [Chapter
27] are involved, a violation of the Township Zoning Ordinance, as well, and shall be subject to the applicable enforcement provisions of that ordinance.
