The names of roads and streets shall not conflict with the names of existing roads and streets, and all roads and streets shall be designated by the names of existing roads and streets with which they connect as extensions thereof.
All such plans shall be filed with the Secretary of the Borough Council at least 10 days prior to the regular meeting of the Borough Council at which it is desired to seek approval thereof. Before acting upon any such plans, the Borough Council may, in its discretion, arrange for a public hearing, after giving such notice as it may deem desirable in each case.
The Borough Council reserves the right to alter such plans, to specify any changes or modifications of any kind which it may deem necessary with respect thereto, and to make its approval of such plans subject to any such alteration, changes or modifications.
Any and all plans, when so approved, shall be signed on behalf of the Borough by the President of the Borough Council and shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of the Borough, where the same shall be available for public inspection.
The action of the Borough Council in approving any such plans and such plans shall be recorded by the person applying for such approval in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
All roads and streets shown on the said plan shall be improved by the paving of the cartway with concrete only, by the construction of curbs and by the laying of sidewalks, all in accordance with the plans and specifications prescribed by the Highway Committee of Borough Council and approved by Borough Council and from time to time altered, supplemented or changed.
All sewers, sewer laterals and sewer connections shall be laid on all improved streets before paving, where connection with the Borough sewers is practicable and where such connection shall be required by the Borough Council, and all gas and water mains and all service connections shall be laid before the paving of the streets, where water and gas are available, and all other mains, pipes and conduits and the like shall be installed before paving of the cartway, where it is proposed to install any such service mains in the streets.
All applications for the approval of such plans shall be in writing on a blank form to be furnished for that purpose by the Borough Council and to be signed by the owners of the property, which must be filed with the Secretary of the Borough, setting forth in detail the character of the improvements to be made on the property shown on the said plan in accordance with the provisions of this article, and in such application, the applicant shall agree to open, lay out and improve the roads, streets, lanes or alleys and to construct all of the improvements, including the sewers and drainage facilities upon the property, shown on the plan, within the time or times therein specified, and agree to enter into a contract in writing with the Borough, in form to be prescribed by the Borough Solicitor, to install, erect and construct the said improvements. The applicant shall furnish a bond in such amount, under such conditions and form, and with such security as shall be approved by the Borough Council, to guarantee the performance of the said contract and to secure the completion of the said improvements within the time or times therein specified.
Any person who shall be convicted of a violation of any of the provisions of this article before any Magisterial District Judge shall be sentenced to pay a maximum fine as provided from time to time by state statute, together with costs of prosecution, or to imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed 30 days, or both.
