[Ord. 95, 7/11/1990, § 4; as amended by Ord. 115, 9/2/1992, § 1]
In addition to any other remedies provided herein, any violation of this Part may be deemed to constitute a nuisance and may be abated by the Township by its seeking appropriate equitable or legal relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. Further, the Township may withhold an occupancy permit for any new residence, building, or other structure on a property which is not in compliance with the requirements of this Part (subject to the Township's right to defer compliance until weather conditions permit the required paving; provided, that the financial security described in § 21-205 below has been deposited with the Township.)
[Ord. 95, 7/11/1990; as added by Ord. 115, 9/2/1992]
In order to assure compliance with the requirements of § 21-202 above, it shall be a condition precedent to issuance of a building permit for the premises that the applicant or property owner shall have deposited with the Township financial security (in cash or as otherwise permitted by the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code for completion of public improvements and in an amount equal to 110% of the cost of completion) to assure completion of paving of the first 20 feet of driveway either before the building or structure is occupied, or when weather permits. If the property owner fails to complete such paving before the building or structure is occupied, or if weather does not permit completion at that time, when weather conditions are satisfactory to allow completion, the Township shall have the right (but not the obligation) to complete the required work using the financial security for such purpose. If the applicant for building permit or property owner completes the paving work as required above, the financial security shall be released to him without interest upon such completion.
