No person shall lay out, open, grade or pave any public street or other public thoroughfare nor construct or install therein any curb, gutter, sidewalk, sanitary sewer, storm drain or other type of street improvement without first having obtained permission therefor from the Mayor and Council.
Any person desiring permission as required in § 235-34 shall make application therefor to the Mayor and Council.
An application made as provided in § 235-35 shall be accompanied by detailed plans, profiles, cross sections, grade maps and specifications of the proposed work. Such maps and drawings shall be submitted in the number and for the use as follows: one blueprint for the Borough Engineer; one blueprint on cloth for the Public Works Department; and one white print on cloth for the Borough Clerk. Where a sewer improvement is included in the project, two additional blueprints shall be submitted for the use of the State Board of Health.
Any person making application as provided in § 235-35 shall submit a certified check made payable to the Borough in a sum estimated by the Borough Engineer to be sufficient to cover his fees for services in examining the plans, profiles, cross sections and grade maps and the cost for inspecting and supervising the proposed work. In the event that the deposit shall be less than was estimated to cover these charges, the deficit shall be paid to the Borough by the applicant prior to approval and acceptance of the improvement by the Mayor and Council, or if the sum deposited for such purpose shall be more than required to defray such expenses, the moneys in excess shall be returned to the applicant.
Any person making application as provided in § 235-35 shall make a cash deposit or furnish a corporate surety bond, approved by the Borough Attorney, conditioned upon the completion of the improvement in question to the satisfaction of and within the time designated by the Mayor and Council. The cash deposit or bond shall be in double the amount of the estimated cost of the improvement, as determined by the Borough Engineer. In the event that a cash deposit is made and the work is not completed within the specified time, the Mayor and Council may, at its option, proceed to have the work completed using the funds so deposited and returning the excess thereof, if any, to the applicant.
The plans, profiles, cross sections, grade maps and specifications filed as provided in § 235-36 shall be submitted by the Mayor and Council to the Borough Engineer for his examination and approval.
Upon the approval of the plans, profiles, cross sections, grade maps and specifications filed as provided in § 235-36 and upon the written certification thereof by the Borough Engineer, permission to make the proposed improvement shall be granted by the Mayor and Council, provided that the applicant has complied with §§ 235-37 and 235-38.
Except as provided in the following Article, all improvements mentioned in § 235-34 shall be done under the supervision of the Borough Engineer and shall conform to the minimum specifications contained in the Standard Specifications for the Borough of Oradell, Bergen County, New Jersey on file in the office of the Borough Clerk.
No improvement made pursuant to permission granted under § 235-40 shall be accepted by resolution of the Mayor and Council as having been satisfactorily completed until the Borough Engineer shall certify in writing to the Mayor and Council that the work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans, profiles, cross sections, grade maps and specifications.
