The applicant shall execute an agreement, in
form and substance acceptable to the Board of Supervisors and Township
Solicitor, before a final plan for either a subdivision or land development
is released by the Board of Supervisors and filed with the County
Recorder of Deeds. Said agreement shall include the following, as
applicable:
A. The applicant agrees that he will lay out and construct
all streets and other improvements in accordance with the final plan
as approved.
B. The applicant agrees to guarantee completion and maintenance of all improvements by means of a type of financial security acceptable to the Township, as specified in §
181-34B of this chapter.
C. The applicant agrees to tender a deed or deeds of
dedication to the Township for such streets and for such easements
for sanitary and storm sewers, sidewalks, manholes, inlets, pumping
stations and other appurtenances as shall be constructed as public
improvements, provided that the Township shall not be required to
accept dedication of such improvements until their completion is certified
as satisfactory by the Township Engineer.
D. Whenever the plan includes a street which is not offered
for dedication to public use, the Board of Supervisors shall require
the applicant to submit and also to record with the plan a copy of
an agreement made with the Board on behalf of himself and his heirs
and assigns and signed by him and which shall establish the conditions
under which the street may later be offered for dedication and shall
stipulate, among other things:
(1) That an offer to dedicate the street shall be made
only for the street as a whole.
(2) That the Township shall not be responsible for repairing
or maintaining any undedicated streets.
(3) That the method of assessing repair and maintenance
costs of undedicated streets be stipulated and be set forth in recorded
deed restrictions so as to be binding on all successors or assigns.
(4) That, if dedication is sought, the street shall conform
to Township specifications or that the owners of the abutting lots
shall, at their own expense, restore the street to conformance with
Township specifications.
