Before constructing, widening or extending any private driveway, the
property owner must submit an application with a sketch of the proposed work
and obtain a permit from the Code Enforcement Officer or his designee. The
sketch must be approved and signed by Township Engineer. No permit shall be
required for the resurfacing of an existing driveway.
The Township Engineer shall be notified of any construction in ample
time to allow for the inspection of said work.
The fee for the permit required hereunder shall be in such amount as
the Board of Supervisors shall set from time to time by resolution.
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this chapter shall,
upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced
by the township before a District Justice, pay a fine of not more than $600,
plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred
by the township in the enforcement of this chapter. No judgment shall be imposed
until the date of the determination of the violation by the District Justice.
If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the township
may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable Rules of Civil Procedure.
Each day a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense. Further,
the appropriate officers or agents of the township are hereby authorized to
seek equitable relief, including injunction, to enforce compliance herewith.
