The applicant shall be responsible from the time there is at least one occupant in the proposed development to plow snow and place salt and cinders on undedicated development roads as may be necessary to provide ingress and egress to the occupants, at the applicant's cost. The applicant shall post with the Township the sum of $2,500 as an escrow to provide for snow removal prior to acceptance of dedication of the streets. The applicant simultaneously shall present a contract with a snow removal firm indicating that that firm has been contracted to remove snow from the development streets within four hours after snow has stopped falling. All payments for said snow removal shall be made from the escrow fund. In the event that the escrow should become depleted, the applicant shall post an additional sum of $2,500 and such further amounts as may be necessary until such time as the dedication of the streets is accepted the Township. In the event that the applicant or the snow removal firm does not perform in accordance with the contract presented, the Township may hire contractors to perform the necessary work and pay those contractors from the escrow fund.
