In addition to permits required pursuant to Article I of this chapter, a construction permit shall be required before any construction or development is undertaken within the Township.
A.
No building or zoning permit required pursuant to this chapter or any other chapter of this Code for the construction of a new residential or nonresidential structure which will constitute a principal use of the property shall be issued until the Township Zoning Officer has determined that access to the structure from a public road will meet the requirements of Chapter 161, Article II, of this Code.
(1)
For lots or tracts of land which have no frontage on a public road or street (also referred to as "landlocked"), access from a public road or street shall be by a private street pursuant to § 165-37H(6) of the North Codorus Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance.
B.
Prior to the issuance of a building or construction permit
pursuant to this chapter, or a zoning permit pursuant to the Township's
Zoning Ordinance,[1] the Zoning Officer shall review the application for permit to determine if all other necessary permits required by this Code, or state or federal laws or regulations, have been obtained, including but not limited to sewage, highway occupancy, or NPDES permits, or any permits required pursuant to Chapter 102 of this Code.
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this article shall,
upon conviction by a District Justice under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal
Procedure, be guilty of a summary offense, and shall be punishable by a fine
of not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution. In default of payments
thereof, the defendant may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not to
exceed 90 days. Each day or portion thereof that such violation continues
or is permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense, and each
section of this article that is violated shall also constitute a separate
offense.
