Developer's responsibility prior to acceptance. Until Township Committee shall accept a dedicated right-of-way and/or dedicated street improvements, which acceptance shall be by formal action as provided by ordinance and general law, the developer responsible for dedicating the right-of-way and/or constructing the improvements shall be and at all times remain solely responsible for the maintenance of the right-of-way and/or improvements, at the developer's sole cost and expense. In the case of control and removal of snow and ice, the developer shall be expected to perform the same maintenance functions at the same level of performance and on the same schedule as the Township maintains as to accepted streets and roads.

Failure to maintain; violation; penalties and remedies. It shall be a violation of this chapter for a developer having responsibility for maintenance of a dedicated right-of-way and/or dedicated street improvements to fail to do so within a reasonable time after receipt of notice from the Zoning Officer that maintenance is required. Penalties and remedies are set forth in Subsection 12-8.5.
