The land developer or subdivider shall construct and install
all required improvements at his expense, in strict accordance with
the standards outlined in Article 1371 and as specified by the Town,
the McCandless Township Sanitary Authority, and the West View Water
Authority. Required improvements shall include street grading and
paving, storm drainage facilities, sanitary sewers, water lines and
fire hydrants, street signs, sidewalks and monuments. Prior to the
acceptance of all improvements, it shall be the responsibility of
the developer to provide as constructed drawings.
[Ord. 1127, passed 8-22-1994]
The developer shall post a cash inspection amount in escrow
based on the cost of construction of those facilities anticipated
to be accepted by the Town in accordance with the current Town resolution
establishing such fees.
The inspection amount shall be utilized by the Town for reasonable
fees for the Town's agents, consultants or independent inspectors
as required to assure the Town of proper installation of the various
amenities to become the Town's ultimate responsibility.
All work done by the Town's agents, consultants or independent
inspectors in connection with the site plan either in the field or
office shall be charged to the escrow deposit. If during the progress
of work it appears costs will reduce the escrow amount below the minimum
required, the Town shall notify the applicant who shall do no further
work until there shall be deposited an additional cash escrow amount
as may be necessary to cover the cost of such work and to increase
the escrow account to the minimum required.
Upon completion of construction, the developer shall furnish
the Town with four sets of "as-built" drawings, indicating all items
as constructed. (See Section 1369.07). The Town shall withhold at
all times, a minimum of $1,500 of the escrow deposit, until such time
as the "as-built" drawings have been received, approved and accepted
by the Town. If at any time the aforesaid engineering and inspection
charges shall reduce the escrow below $1,500, the Town shall notify
the applicant, who shall do no further work until there shall be deposited
an additional cash escrow amount sufficient to maintain the minimum
amount.
The Town Manager or relevant official of the McCandless Township
Sanitary Authority or West View Water Authority shall be notified
by the owner or contractor at least 72 hours in advance of the commencement
of any construction operation, such as grading, sewer installation
or paving in order that provisions may be made for proper inspection
of such construction operation. Samples of materials and all reasonable
information for ascertaining whether the work is in conformity with
the provisions of these Land Development and Subdivision Regulations
shall be furnished to the proper officials and employees of the Town.
[Ord. 1127, passed 8-22-1994]
When all public improvements and facilities have been completed,
the developer shall notify the Town in writing, by certified or registered
mail, of the completion of these improvements, and send a copy thereof
to the municipal engineer.
The Town shall within 10 days after receipt of such notice,
direct and authorize the municipal engineer to inspect all such improvements.
A report shall be filed by the municipal engineer in writing with
the Town, and copy mailed to the developer within 30 days after the
aforesaid authority from the Town. The report shall indicate approval
or rejection and contain specific details for rejection if not accepted.
The Town shall notify the developer within 15 days of receipt
of this report, in writing by certified or registered mail, of the
Town's action with relation thereto. On final approval by the municipal
engineer, bonds, cash, checks or securities filed as completion guarantee
shall be returned or released immediately on receipt of final, "as-built"
drawings, which have been certified to be true and correct by the
Town.

checks or securities as are required to meet the expense of completing
such improvements.
