A.
An ordinance of the Township of Polk, Monroe County, Pennsylvania,
regulating driveway construction within streets, roads and rights-of-way;
requiring a permit and fees; providing for correction of improper
work; and prescribing penalties for violations.
B.
Whereas, the Board of Supervisors of Polk Township has determined
that improperly constructed or reconstructed driveways and roads intersecting
with roads of the Township can cause inadequate drainage of water
from the roadways, the accumulation of water and ice on the roadways,
damage to the roadways and unsafe and hazardous conditions upon and
within the roads of the Township, causing risk to the general public,
as well as additional and unwarranted expenses to the Township for
repairs to such roadways, the Board of Supervisors has determined
that it is in the public interest to regulate the placement, design
and construction of driveways and roads intersecting with roads of
the Township or roads which may be dedicated to the Township.
C.
Now, therefore, be it enacted and ordained by the Board of Supervisors
of Polk Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, and it is hereby enacted
and ordained by authority of the same, as follows.
This chapter shall be known and cited as the "Polk Township
Driveway Ordinance."
Allegations that this chapter or any amendment thereto was enacted
in a procedurally defective manner shall be appealed as provided in
state law and filed not later than 30 days after the intended effective
date of the chapter or amendment.
