standards and specifications and desires the Township to accept said
improvements, he shall, in writing, by certified mail addressed to
the Township Committee with copies thereof to the Township Engineer,
request the Township Engineer to make a semifinal inspection of said
improvements. Accompanying this request, the subdivider must submit
a wash-off Mylar and two sealed prints of the originally approved
subdivision plans that have been updated to show the final as-built
condition of all improvements, including all subsurface utilities
and drains. The Township Engineer shall inspect all improvements of
which such notice has been given and shall file a detailed report,
in writing, with the Township Committee, indicating either approval,
partial approval or rejection of such improvements with a statement
of reasons for any rejection. The cost of the improvements as approved

shall be released from all liability pursuant to the performance guaranty,
except for a portion sufficient to guarantee the improvements not
yet approved, provided that 30% of the amount of the performance guaranty
posted may be retained to ensure completion of all improvements. Failure
of the Township Committee to send or provide such notification to
the subdivider within 65 days shall constitute approval of the improvements,
