The owner and/or developer of any property within Lower Windsor Township which contains any private community road and/or unadopted street shall maintain such private community road and/or unadopted street so as to ensure that vehicular traffic can reasonably navigate the roadway without obstruction and in a safe manner that does not risk injury or damage to a vehicle. Owners of private community roads and/or unadopted streets shall ensure the following: roadways shall be surface graded or resurfaced at intervals to ensure appropriate passage of vehicles; shall be maintained substantially free of potholes; shall have appropriate drainage systems in place which ensure stormwater does not pond on the roadway; shall maintain unobstructed vision at any intersection regardless of whether the intersection is an intersection of public or private roads; shall ensure dust-control measures are employed, and shall ensure that grass and weeds are appropriately controlled so as not to encroach into the path of travel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Code Official may, in consultation with the Township Engineer, determine that vehicular travel on a roadway is impeded due to potholes or other obstructions. Should the Code Official, in consultation with the Township Engineer, determine that vehicular travel is impeded on a roadway due to potholes or other obstructions, such impediment shall be a violation of this chapter.
The owner and/or developer of any property within Lower Windsor Township which contains any private community road or unadopted street shall remove any snow and ice from a private community road or unadopted street within 12 hours of the time any snowfall or accumulation of ice occurs. If ice is so thick as to make removal impractical, the owner or developer shall cause each roadway to be thoroughly covered with sand, rock salt, antiskid material or similar product within 12 hours after the accumulation of ice.
Notwithstanding the requirements set forth in §§ 310-3 and 310-4, if it is determined that any private community road or unadopted street is in a state of disrepair such that police, fire, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle travel is impeded, or that such emergency vehicles cannot safely or expeditiously travel the roadway, it shall be in violation of this chapter. Such a determination shall be requested by the chief of the emergency department which believes travel of emergency vehicles on the roadway is impeded and shall be made by the Township Engineer.
