A. 
Inspection procedure.
(1) 
When the developer has completed all of the required improvements, the developer shall notify the Board of Supervisors, in writing, by certified or registered mail, of the completion of the required improvements and shall send a copy to the Township Engineer.
(2) 
The Board of Supervisors shall, within 10 days after receipt of such notice, direct and authorize the Township Engineer to inspect all of the aforesaid improvements. The Township Engineer shall, thereupon, file a report, in writing, with the Board of Supervisors, and shall promptly mail a copy of the same to the developer by certified or registered mail. The report shall be made and mailed within 30 days after receipt by the Township Engineer of the aforesaid authorization from the Board of Supervisors; said report shall be detailed and shall indicate approval or rejection of said improvements, either in whole or in part, and if said improvements or any portion thereof, shall not be approved or shall be rejected by the Township Engineer, said report shall contain a statement of reasons for such disapproval or rejection.
(3) 
The Board of Supervisors shall notify the developer, in writing by certified or registered mail, within 15 days of receipt of the Township Engineer's report, of the action of said Board of Supervisors with relation thereto.
(4) 
If the Board of Supervisors or the Township Engineer fails to comply with the time limitation provisions contained herein, all improvements will be deemed to have been approved and the developer shall be released from all liability, pursuant to the improvements bond posted with the Township.
(5) 
If any portion of the required improvements shall not be approved or shall be rejected by the Board of Supervisors, the developer shall proceed to complete the same and, upon completion, the same procedure of notification, inspection and approval, as outlined herein, shall be followed.
(6) 
Nothing herein, however, shall be construed in limitation of the subdivider's or developer's right to contest or question by legal proceedings or otherwise, any determination of the Board of Supervisors or the Township Engineer.
(7) 
The applicant or developer shall be charged by Brady Township for all fees reasonable and necessary, to cover costs incurred by the Township for engineering review and inspection of improvements, as outlined in Article IX. In the event that the amount of the expense is disputed, the procedure outlined in Article IX for resolving disputes shall be followed.
B. 
Release of improvement bond.
(1) 
Upon approval of all of the improvements in the plan, the developer shall be released from any liability pursuant to the improvement bond posted to guarantee the proper installation of those improvements.
(2) 
From time to time, during the installation of the improvements, the developer may request partial release of the improvement bond in an amount necessary for payment of contractors performing the work. Any such request shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors shall have 45 days from the receipt of such request to allow the Township Engineer to certify, in writing, that such portion of the installation of improvements has been completed in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and the approved final plat.
(3) 
Upon such certification by the Township Engineer, the Board of Supervisors shall authorize release of an amount as estimated by the Township Engineer which fairly represents the value of the improvements completed. The Board of Supervisors shall require retention of 10% of the estimated cost of such improvements until such time as all improvements have been installed and the improvements bond is released in its entirety.
A. 
Upon completion of the inspection and approval of the public improvements, the developer shall submit a request to the Board of Supervisors, in writing, to accept the dedication of the public improvements. The request for acceptance shall include deeds of dedication and all other legal descriptive documents necessary to prepare a resolution or ordinance and shall be submitted at least 20 days prior to the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors. At the regular meeting, the Board of Supervisors shall enact a resolution or ordinance accepting the public improvements as part of the Township's public facilities, subject to the posting of the maintenance bond required by § 295-804 of this chapter.
B. 
No property or public improvements shown on a final plat shall be considered to have been finally accepted by the Township until the dedication thereof has been officially accepted by adoption of a resolution or ordinance of the Township, duly enacted and advertised in accordance with law.
A. 
After an approved subdivision or land development plan shall have been officially recorded, the streets, parks, and other public improvements shown thereon shall be considered to be a part of the official plan of the Township.
B. 
Streets, parks and other public improvements shown on a subdivision plan to be recorded may be offered for dedication to the Township by formal notation thereof on the plan, or the owner may note on such plan that any improvements have not been offered for dedication to the Township.
C. 
Every street, park or other improvement shown on a subdivision plan shall be deemed to be a private street, park or improvement until such time as the same shall have been offered for dedication to the Township and accepted by ordinance or resolution, or until it shall have been condemned for use as a public street, park or other improvement.
A. 
In the event that any improvements which may be required have not been constructed and installed as provided for in the written agreement, this chapter and the requirements of the Board of Supervisors or in accord with the approved final plan, the Board of Supervisors shall enforce any corporate bond, or other security by appropriate legal and equitable remedies,
B. 
If proceeds of such bond, or other security are insufficient to pay the cost of installing or making repairs or corrections to all the improvements covered by said security, the Board of Supervisors may, at its option, install part of such improvements in all or part of the subdivision or land development and may institute appropriate legal or equitable action to recover the monies necessary to complete the remainder of the improvements.
C. 
All of the proceeds, whether resulting from the security or from any legal or equitable action brought against the developer, or both, shall be used solely for the installation of the improvements covered by such security, and not for any other municipal purpose.
A. 
Before the Township Engineer shall issue to the Board of Supervisors a written certification that all improvements specified and required have been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the agreement and requirements relative to the land development and in compliance with the specifications, standards, ordinances and requirements of the Township, the subdivider or developer shall be required to deposit with the Township a corporate maintenance bond in such amount, under such conditions, in such form and with approved surety as shall be required by the Board of Supervisors. The maintenance bond shall guarantee the repairs and maintenance by the subdivider or developer of the streets, roads, pavement, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, stormwater drains and facilities, sanitary sewer and facilities and any other improvements constructed and installed in the subdivision or development, for a period of 18 months from the date of final and official acceptance of the above said improvements and facilities by the Board of Supervisors. The amount of the maintenance bond shall not exceed 15% of the actual cost of installation of said improvements.
B. 
The repairs and maintenance required to be performed by the subdivider or developer shall extend only to making good any inherent defects which become manifested in the materials and workmanship under ordinary conditions and shall not be held to cover any breakage or damage caused by improper use or by accident resulting from circumstances over which the subdivider or developer has no control.
Prior to the end of the eighteen-month period when the maintenance bond expires and before the maintenance bond is released, the Township Engineer shall make a final inspection and certify in writing to the Board of Supervisors that all the public improvements are in good order. If any repairs are required or maintenance needed, the subdivider shall be notified in writing, and such repairs or maintenance shall be done and approved prior to certification by the Township Engineer.
The applicant shall be responsible from the time there is at least one occupied dwelling in the proposed development to plow snow on development roads as may be necessary to provide ingress and egress to the occupants at the applicant's cost, prior to the acceptance of dedicated streets. The applicant shall post with the Township the sum of $2,500 as an escrow to provide for snow removal prior to acceptance of dedication of the streets. The applicant simultaneously shall present a contract with a snow removal firm indicating that the firm has been contracted to remove snow from the development streets within four hours after snow has stopped falling. All payments for said snow removal shall be made from the escrow fund. In the event that the escrow should become depleted, the applicant shall post an additional sum of $2,500 and such further amounts as may be necessary until such time as the dedication of the streets is accepted by the Township. In the event that the applicant or the snow removal firm does not perform in accordance with the contract presented, the Township may hire contractors to perform the necessary work and pay those contractors from the escrow fund.
A. 
No road, street, land, way or related improvement shall be accepted as a part of the highway system of the Township or for maintenance unless opened, laid out, graded and improved in strict accordance with the standards and regulations of the Township. The requirements, specifications and standards of construction, material and appurtenances as designated herein are considered as minimum and the Board of Supervisors may, as it deems advisable, revise said specifications and requirements to secure a higher standard of improvements and community development.
B. 
No stormwater drainage facilities, sanitary sewer and sewage treatment facilities, water supply and water distribution system, and facilities or any other facilities or improvements will be accepted as a part of the Township's facilities for operation and maintenance unless designed and constructed in strict compliance with all the standards, specifications, rules, regulations, ordinances and requirements of the Township.
If any road or any drainage facilities in connection therewith shall be opened, constructed, or dedicated for public use or travel, except in strict accordance with plats approved and recorded as herein provided, neither the Board of Supervisors nor any public authorities shall place, construct, or operate any sewer, drain, water pipe or other facilities, or do any work of any kind, in or upon such road; and neither the Township Board of Supervisors nor any other public authorities, shall have responsibility of any kind with respect to any such road or drainage facilities, notwithstanding any use of the same by the public. Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the laying of trunk sewers, drains, water or gas mains, if required by engineering necessity for the accommodating of other territory.
