(A) If any construction project on lands adjoining a non-motorized pathway results in damage to the non-motorized pathway, then all such damage shall be fully repaired and the non-motorized pathway shall be restored to its former condition within ten days after the damage occurs, unless otherwise authorized by the township; provided, however, that if weather conditions prevent full restoration of the non-motorized pathway within such ten-day period, then the non-motorized pathway shall be temporarily patched and restored so as to permit reasonable use by bicycles, skates and pedestrians, and full repair and restoration shall then be completed as soon as weather permits.
(B) An occupancy permit shall not be granted under the county zoning ordinance or building code for any building or structure unless and until any non-motorized pathway damaged in connection with the construction of such building or structure has been fully repaired and restored to its former condition; provided, however, that if weather conditions then prevent full repair and restoration of the non-motorized pathway, an occupancy permit may be granted if:
(1) The non-motorized pathway has been temporarily patched and restored so as to permit reasonable use by bicycles and pedestrians; and
(2) The township is provided with adequate financial security in the form of a cash deposit, letter of credit or performance bond, to guarantee full repair or restoration of the non-motorized pathway as soon as weather permits.
(C) Repair of all damage, as required by this section, shall be performed in compliance with the State Department of Transportation.
