Prior to commencement of any construction project in the Borough
of Haddonfield (hereafter Haddonfield) on private property, if determined
to be required by the Construction Official, the private property
owner and the contractor shall be responsible to cause a video or
digital photographs to be taken of public roads, sidewalks, curbs,
stormwater facilities, wastewater facilities, Haddonfield trees, and
any other public property contiguous with or in the immediate vicinity
of the private property in question, wherein such public property
could be subject to damage. The video or digital photographs shall
be submitted to the Construction Official before commencement of construction,
electronically in a format and manner approved by the Construction
Official. Construction permitting shall not be issued absent the electronic
submission in question to the Construction Official.
The video and digital photographs shall be available for review
by anyone at any time, to determine if damage occurred to public property
or other owner's property during the construction project in
question.
The Construction Official may waive the need to take a video
or digital photographs of a construction project in the event the
Construction Official determines that due to the size, location, type,
cost, etc. of the construction project, the Construction Official
reasonably determined that public property probably would not be subject
to damage.
A private property owner and project contractor who caused damage
to public or private property shall be responsible to repair, replace
and/or monetarily compensate the property owner of the damaged property.
The property owner or project contractor shall pay Haddonfield
$250 as a video or photographs review fee to compensate Haddonfield
for the cost of reviewing the video and/or digital photographs.
