prefabricated home or house trailer over the Township roads without
first obtaining from the Township Manager, or the Manager's designee,
a permit.
2.
Cash Bond Required. Prior to the transportation of any motor vehicle
engaged in the moving of said mobile homes, prefabricated homes or
house trailers, the said driver and/or owner of the said motor vehicle
shall first post with the Township Manager a cash bond in escrow,
in an amount as established, from time to time, by resolution of the
Board of Supervisors, to guarantee the restoration of any damages
caused to the Township roads and/or Township shoulders by the said
transportation and placement of the said mobile homes, prefabricated
homes or house trailers upon premises within the Township.
3.
Inspection of Roads. Upon completion of placement of the said mobile
home, prefabricated home or house trailer, the Township Roadmaster,

to determine if there has in fact been caused any damage to the said
road and road shoulders by the transportation and placement of the
said mobile home, prefabricated home or house trailer.
4.
Cost of Repairs. In the event the roadmaster determines that there
has been damage to the road or road shoulders by the transportation
and placement of the said mobile home, prefabricated home or house
trailer, the Township Engineer shall then determine and establish
a cost of estimate of repairs to the said road and road shoulders
and shall so notify the Township Manager who shall then deduct the
said cost estimate for repairs from the cash bond held in escrow and
release the remaining moneys to the driver and operator of the motor
vehicle engaged in the transportation of the said mobile homes, prefabricated
homes or house trailers.

more than $1,000 plus costs or such other penalty as may be authorized
and imposed by law. Each day that a violation of this part continues
or each section of this part which shall be found to have been violated
shall constitute a separate offense. Notwithstanding the same, the
Township may seek enforcement by means of request for injunctive relief
or other equitable remedies as may be provided by law in a court of
competent jurisdiction.
