  • A. 
    The applicant shall agree, in writing, to construct all streets, together with all other improvements, including grading, paving, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, fire hydrants, water mains, street signs, shade trees, storm drainage facilities, sanitary sewers, landscaping, traffic control devices, open space and restricted areas and erosion and sediment control measures in conformance with the final plan, as approved, the applicable provisions of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Specifications, Form 408, or the latest revision thereto, and other applicable regulations.
    B. 
    Off-site improvements. Certain improvements beyond the geographical boundaries of a site to be subdivided and/or developed, including but not limited to road improvements, may be required to be constructed where it can clearly be demonstrated that such improvements have been made necessary solely through the additional burden imposed by the subdivision and/or development of the site. The Solicitor shall render final judgment in any instances where a dispute arises as to the direct causal relationship for the improvement(s). The subdivider or developer shall be required to cover costs which may be incurred by the Township or other governmental jurisdiction in order to make these improvements feasible. The legal and financial arrangements to cover costs of the off-site improvements shall be the same as those prescribed in § 123-58.
    C. 
    Before any plat shall be finally approved for recording or any building permit shall be issued, the developer shall complete all required improvements or provide a performance guaranty in accordance with § 123-58.
