[Adopted 6-5-1997 by Ord. No. 1997-5]
The Hellam Township Roadmaster will notify 90
days in advance of any repair or restoration work, all utilities within
the roadway designated for repair or restoration. Such notification
shall be to allow utilities to perform any and all maintenance work
which may be required prior to the roadway restoration.
A.
Upon completion of the roadway repair or restoration
by Hellam Township, a five-year moratorium for any new pavement cuts
for those designated streets will be in effect. In the event of an
emergency, any roadway cuts by a utility will require that the utility
mill and overlay the entire lane of travel in the vicinity of the
road cut, thirty-foot minimum in each direction from the work area.
If such cuts involve both lanes of travel, the milling and overlay
will extend the entire cartway width in the vicinity of the road cut,
30 feet minimum in each direction from the work area.
B.
All permits for road cuts are issued at the discretion
of the Township.
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this article
shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding brought before a Magisterial
District Judge under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure,
be guilty of a summary offense and shall be punishable by a fine of
not more than $1,000, plus all costs of prosecution, including, but
not limited to, attorneys' fees, and in default of payment thereof,
shall be imprisoned for a term not to exceed 90 days. Each day or
portion thereof that such violation continues or is permitted to continue
shall constitute a separate offense, and each section of this article
that is violated shall also constitute a separate offense.
