Inlets in driveways and roadways within parking areas shall be spaced and sized to provide a minimum of an eight-foot-wide lane for each designed traveled lane during a storm with an intensity of three inches per hour.
Inlets shall be placed at the intersection of all parking lot driveways or roadways with all public roads if the volume of water entering the public roadway will create a violation of the roadway inlet spacing standards set forth in Chapter 350, Subdivision of Land.
Driveways shall be separated from parking stalls and aisles by raised curbed islands which shall be a minimum of five feet wide.
In every fifth row of parking, the opposing stalls shall be separated by raised curbed islands, which shall be a minimum of four feet wide.

A maintenance guaranty to be posted with the governing body for a period not to exceed two years after final acceptance of the improvement, in an amount not to exceed 15% of the total cost of the improvement. In the event that other governmental agencies or public utilities automatically will own the utilities to be installed or the improvements are covered by a performance or maintenance guaranty to another governmental agency, no performance or maintenance guaranty, as the case may be, shall be required by the municipality for such utilities or improvements.
The form of the guaranty shall be as approved by the Borough Attorney, and the amount of guaranty shall be as determined by the Borough Engineer.
The applicant shall assume liability during construction of such improvements and until such time as the improvements are accepted by the Borough of Alpha.

Where partial approval is granted, obligor shall be released from all liability pursuant to its performance guaranty, except for that portion adequately sufficient to secure provision of the improvements not yet approved, provided that 30% of the amount of the performance guaranty posted may be retained to ensure completion of all improvements. Failure of the governing body to send or provide such notification to the obligor within 45 days shall be deemed to constitute approval of the improvements, and the obligor and surety, if any, shall be released from liability pursuant to such performance guaranty for such improvements.
If any portion of the required improvements are rejected, the approving authority may require the obligor to complete such improvements, and, upon completion, the same procedure of notification, as set forth in Subsections D and E above, shall be followed.
Failure to comply with any of the conditions of site plan approval subsequent to the receipt of a zoning permit, construction permit or certificate of occupancy, as the case may be, shall be construed to be a violation of this chapter and shall be grounds for the revocation of any zoning permit, construction permit or certificate of occupancy, as the case may be. If the Construction Code Official finds that any conditions of site plan approval have not been met, he shall give the applicant 10 days' written notice to comply with said conditions, and failure to comply within this ten-day period shall result in revocation of the zoning permit, construction permit, certificate of occupancy or certificate of continued occupancy, as the case may be. Such violations may additionally or singly also be prosecuted under provisions of Chapter 410, Zoning.
A fine of not more than $1,250.
