All uses shall comply with the requirements of this section. Compliance shall be determined by the applicable Zoning Officer with respect to permitted uses by the applicable Zoning Hearing Board with respect to special exceptions and by the applicable Borough Council with respect to conditional uses. In order to determine whether a proposed use will conform to the requirements of this Ordinance, the applicable Borough may obtain a qualified consultant's report, whose cost for services shall be borne by the applicant.

All projects that require the additional use of new facilities or essential services, such as sewers, storm drains, fire hydrants, potable water, public streets, street lighting and similar services, shall obtain such approval as required by the agency providing such service prior to project approval. Non availability of essential services shall be permitted to be grounds for denying permits for additional development until such services are available. The jurisdiction is not obligated to extend or supply essential services if capacity is not available. If capacity is available, the extension of services shall be by and at the cost of the developer, unless the jurisdiction agrees otherwise. All service extensions shall be designed and installed in full conformance with the jurisdiction's standards for such service, and shall be subject to review, permit and inspection as required by other policies or ordinances of the jurisdiction.

All finished cut and fill slopes shall have a grade of not more than two feet horizontal for every one foot vertical. All cut and fill slopes greater than 20 feet in elevation or depression must be designed by a certified soils engineer or a certified geologist. The soils engineer or geologist who designs the slope must certify that it is stable upon completion. The Borough Engineer may require that a fence or other barrier be placed in a location which will prevent anyone from nearby properties access to a cut or fill slope.

All lands, regardless of their slope, from which structures or natural cover has been removed or otherwise destroyed shall be appropriately graded and seeded within a reasonable time of such clearance activity. The phrase "a reasonable time" shall be interpreted to be within two weeks after construction activities are completed, unless those activities are completed between a time period of November 1 and April 1. In such case, the required sodding or seeding shall occur within two weeks of April 1. This shall be rigidly applied to construction activities in order to accomplish the intent of keeping erosion to an absolute minimum. During non-growing seasons, appropriate measures shall be taken, such as, but not limited to, siltation dams, to prevent erosion by wind or water. In addition to the measures stated above, the developer/property owner shall provide assurances that all requirements will be complied with at the beginning of the next growing season.
