(a) A permit fee, inspection fee, and degradation fee for any public highway, road, street, lane or alley in the Borough shall be paid to the Borough prior to the issuance of the permit. The Borough shall have the right to waive fees for contractors performing work under contract with the Borough.
(b) The charges for a permit for a street opening three square yards or less shall be fifty dollars ($200.00). The charge for a permit for a street opening of more than three square yards shall be the sum of the charge for a permit for three square yards or less and twenty dollars ($20.00) for each additional square yard or portion thereof.
(c) The degradation fee will be paid in addition to the permit fee and will be as follows:
Rate of fee is in dollars per square yard for streets constructed, reconstructed or resurfaced within the following numbers of years prior to the issue date of the permit.
Less than 1 year = | $40.00/sq. yd. |
1 to two years = | $30.00/sq. yd. |
Three to five years = | $20.00/sq. yd. |
Over five years = | $ 10.00/sq. yd. |
The number of square yards used in the computation of fees will be based on the next highest whole square yard figure. Minimum fee will be equal to the rate for three square yards of surface disturbance or less.
(Example:) Degradation fee for street 3 years old; 10 square yards @ $20.00 / square yard = $200.00
