[Ord. 918, 6/19/2002]
When the Borough shall improve or pave any street, the Borough
Manager shall first give notice to all persons owning property abutting
the street to be paved or improved, and to all public utilities and
authorities operating in the Borough, and all such persons, utilities
and authorities shall make all connections as well as any repairs
thereto which would necessitate excavation of the street, within 30
days from the date of such notice. The time shall be extended if permission
is requested in writing and approved by the Borough Manager.
[Ord. 918, 6/19/2002]
No permit shall be issued by the Borough Manager which would
allow an excavation or opening a paved and improved street surface
less than five years old unless the applicant can clearly demonstrate
that public health or safety require that the proposed work be permitted
or unless an emergency condition exists.
[Ord. 918, 6/19/2002]
If, by special action of the Borough Manager a permit is issued
to open any paved and improved street surface less than five years
old, a penalty charge shall be made for the opening, except that the
penalty shall be waived in the event the work is of an emergency nature.
The penalty charge shall be on a sliding scale and shall be equal
to 2% of the costs of restoring the opening for each unelapsed month
or fraction thereof of the five-year restricted period.
