The Board of Commissioners shall, within ten days after receipt of such notice, direct and authorize the Township Engineer to inspect all of the aforesaid improvements. The Township Engineer shall, thereupon, file a report, in writing, with the Board of Commissioners, and shall promptly mail a copy of the same to the developer by certified or registered mail. The report shall be made and mailed within 30 days after receipt by the Township Engineer of the aforesaid authorization from the Board of Commissioners. Said report shall be detailed and shall indicate approval or rejection of said improvements, either in whole or in part, and if said improvements or any portion thereof shall not be approved or shall be rejected by the Township Engineer, said report shall contain a statement of reasons for such nonapproval or rejection.
(b) The Board of Commissioners shall notify the developer within 15 days of receipt of the Engineer’s report, in writing by certified or registered mail, of the action of the Board of Commissioners with relation thereto.
(c) If the Board of Commissioners or Township Engineer fails to comply with the provisions of this section, then all improvements will be deemed to have been approved, and the developer shall be released from all liability, pursuant to its performance guarantee bond.
(d) In the event that any of the necessary and appropriate improvements have not been installed, constructed or completed as provided in these subdivision regulations or as proposed on the final plan, the Board of Commissioners of the township is hereby granted the power to enforce any corporate bond or other security by appropriate legal and equitable remedies. The township may take legal action to secure all necessary equity from the developer to install, repair, or correct any unacceptable improvements provided by the developer. This shall be in accordance with § 510 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, being 53 P.S. §§ 10101 et seq.
