General requirements.
(1)
Financial security required by this section shall
be in the form of a federal or commonwealth chartered lending institution
irrevocable letter of credit, a restrictive or escrow account in such
institution or with a financially responsible bonding company, cash
or cash equivalent, or such other type of financial security subject
to the approval of the Township. The bonding company may be chosen
by the party posting the financial security, provided that the said
bonding company or lending institution is authorized to conduct business
within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and stipulates that it will
submit to Pennsylvania jurisdiction and Chester County venue in the
event of legal action.
(2)
All agreements for required guarantees shall be executed
by the applicant or developer and shall be approved by the Township
provided that such agreement is satisfactory to the Township Solicitor.
(3)
If financial security has been provided in lieu of
the completion of improvements required as a condition for the final
approval of a subdivision or land development proposal as set forth
by this section the Township shall not condition the issuance of a
building, grading, or other permit relating to the erection or placement
of improvements, including buildings, upon the lots or land as depicted
upon the finally approved plan upon actual completion of the improvements
depicted upon the finally approved plan. Moreover, if said financial
security has been provided, building permits for any building or buildings
to be erected shall not be withheld following:
(a)
The completion of the construction of new streets as described in Article VI of this chapter in all respects except for the installation of the wearing course.
(b)
The completion of all other improvements as
depicted upon the finally approved plan, either upon the lot or lots
or beyond the lot or lots in question if such improvements are necessary
for the reasonable use of or occupancy of the building or buildings.
B.
Improvements guarantee.

The applicant shall deposit with the Township financial
security in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of all improvements,
both public and private, and common amenities, including but not limited
to streets, walkways, shade trees, stormwater detention and retention
facilities, pipes and other related drainage facilities, recreational
facilities, open space improvements, buffer or screen plantings, water
mains and other water supply facilities, fire hydrants, and sanitary
sewage disposal facilities.
(2)
The said financial security shall provide for, and
secure to the public, the completion of all subdivision improvements

of such improvements.
(3)
The amount of financial security to be posted for
the completion of the required improvements shall be equal to 110%
of the estimated cost of completion, including engineering and inspection
costs, as of 90 days following the completion date anticipated by
the applicant.
(4)
The Township may adjust the amount of the financial
security annually by comparing the actual cost of the improvements
which have been completed and the estimated cost for the completion
of the remaining improvements as of the expiration of the 90th day
after either the original date scheduled for completion or a rescheduled
date of completion. Subsequent to said adjustment, the Township may
require the applicant to post additional security in order to assure
that the financial security equals 110%.
(5)
The amount of financial security required shall be
based upon an estimate of the cost of completion of the required improvements,
submitted by the applicant and prepared by a professional engineer
licensed as such by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and certified
by such engineer to be a fair and reasonable estimate of such cost.
The Township, upon the recommendation of the Township Engineer, may
refuse to accept such estimate for good cause shown. If the applicant
and the Township are unable to agree upon an estimate, then the estimate
shall be recalculated and recertified by another professional engineer
licensed as such by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and chosen mutually
by the Township and the applicant. The estimate certified by the third
engineer shall be presumed fair and reasonable, and shall be the final
estimate. In the event that a third engineer is so chosen, fees for
the services of said engineer shall be paid equally by the Township
and the applicant.
(6)
If the party posting the financial security requires
more than one year from the date of posting of the financial security
to complete the required improvements, the amount of financial security
shall be increased by an additional 10% for each one-year period beyond
the first anniversary date from posting of financial security or to
an amount not exceeding 110% of the cost of completing the required
improvements as reestablished on or about the expiration date of the
preceding one-year period by using the above procedure.
(7)
In the case where development is projected over a
period of years, the Board of Supervisors may authorize submission
of final plans by section or stage of development, subject to such
requirements or guarantees for improvements within the future sections
or stages of development as the Board finds essential for the protection
of any finally approved section of the development.
(8)
As the work of installing the required improvements
proceeds, the party posting the financial security may request the
Board of Supervisors to release or authorize to be released, from
time to time, such portions of the financial security necessary for
payment to the contractor or contractors performing the work. Any
such requests shall be in writing addressed to the Board of Supervisors,
and the Board shall have 45 days from receipt of such request within
which to allow the Township Engineer to certify, in writing, to the
Board that such portion of the work upon the improvements has been
completed in accordance with the approved plans. Upon such certification,
the Board shall authorize release by the bonding company or lending
institution of an amount as estimated by the Township Engineer fairly
representing the value of the improvements completed. If the Board
fails to act within said forty-five-day period, the Board shall be
deemed to have approved the release of funds as requested.
(9)
The Township Engineer, in certifying the completion
of work for a partial release, shall not be bound to the amount requested
by the applicant, but shall certify to the Board his independent evaluation
of the proper amount of partial releases.

thereof, shall not be approved or shall be rejected by the Township
Engineer, said report shall contain a statement of reasons for such
nonapproval or rejection.
