ORDINANCE 2003-3
An Ordinance of Millcreek Township, entitled the
Millcreek Township Public and Private
Improvements Code, to establish, amend and
restate specifications for and regulations
governing the construction of improvements,
whether intended to be publicly or privately
owned, establishing regulations governing
inspection of the construction of improvements
and administration and enforcement of such
standards; addressing application of such
regulations to other Township ordinances;
establishing penalties for violation; and including
severability and repealor clauses.
WHEREAS , specifications for improvements required within subdivisions and land
developments have previously been set fo rth as an appendix to the Millcreek Township
Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance; and
WHEREAS , the Millcreek Township Stormwater Management Ordinance, No. 97-4, as
may in the future be amended, sets forth various standards governing stormwater management
plans and facilities; and
WHEREAS , the Millcreek Township Zoning Ordinance establishes various regulations
which govern development and use of properties; and
WHEREAS , regulation of land development under the 1988 amendments to the
Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code and of stormwater management under Lake Erie
watershed management standards adopted by Erie County and set forth in the Stormwater
Management Ordinance has resulted in regulation of and application of specifications to a wider
variety of developments than was the case at the time specifications were adopted as an appendix
to the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, specifications governing construction of certain improvements are important
and consistent whether the improvement upon completion is to be privately owned and maintained
or accepted by the Township as a public improvement; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors determines that common standards and
specifications for required stormwater management facilities and other improvements required in
a subdivision, a land development or other development of land are essential for protection of the
public health, safety and welfare, will assist those developing land by providing common
specifications and will ensure consistent administration and enforcement; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors believes that a code establishing and governing
specifications for and administration, inspection and enforcement of construction of improvements
which applies generally will avoid confusion which might result if specifications for the same
improvements are set forth in more than one ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the amended and restated Millcreek Township Subdivision and Land
Development Ordinance is not deemed by the Board of Supervisors to be an appropriate vehicle
for setting forth such specifications; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors has retained a professional engineering firm to
review existing Township specifications and has received recommendations regarding updated and
new specifications for improvements, which are being incorporated in this Code; and
WHEREAS, this Code incorporates various specifications previously adopted by
governmental agencies and other entities where deemed appropriate, to adopt more common
standards as to certain improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors finds that it is necessary and appropriate to allow
for future amendment of specifications so as to address changes in industry or technological
standards or as indicated by experience; and
WHEREAS, except as set forth in this Code, it is not the intention of the Board of
Supervisors to amend other Township ordinances and regulations, but instead to establish common
standards for construction of improvements whatever the nature of the development or ownership.
IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED AND ENACTED by the Board of Supervisors of the
Township of Millcreek, Erie County, Pennsylvania, and it is ordained and enacted, as follows:

with sides vertical and scarified and with the bottom flat. The
planting pit should be over-excavated to allow for 18" of loose
topsoil on either side of the root ball (See Figure LD-1).
5.08.5.5
Backfill. Backfill with native or imported soil that matches the
characteristics of the indigenous soil. Imported soil must be free of
rocks larger than 2" in diameter and of clay, toxic matter, plants,
weeds, roots and/or any other debris deemed disadvantageous to
proper plant growth (See Figure LD-1).
5.08-3
5.08.5.6
Planting. Planting standards generally are as set forth in Figure
LD-1 and also include:
5.08.5.6.1
A 6" layer of planting soil shall be placed and compacted in
the bottom of the planting pit.
5.08.5.6.2
After plant is set in planting pit, retain burlap on the root
ball but pull away from the main stem of the plant.
5.08.5.6.3
Place backfill in layers 4"-6" thick and work each layer by
hand to compact the backfill and eliminate voids. Ensure
that the plant is plumb.
5.08.5.6.4
Once backfill is approximately two-thirds (2/3) complete,
saturate with water and repeat until no more can be
absorbed. Remainder of backfill should then be placed and
compacted and watered again.
5.08.5.6.5
Form a watering saucer around the trunk, and mulch with
2"-3" of double-hammered aged bark mulch.
5.08.5.6.6
Bark mulch should not be placed against base of tree trunk.
5.08.5.7
Pruning. Dead or broken branches are to be removed. The tree
should be pruned to encourage natural growth consistent with the
species planted.
5.08.5.8
Staking and Guying. Hardwood stakes shall be driven into firm
soil outside of the planting pit, using #12 double-stranded wire with
a length of rubber hose to ensure protection of the tree trunk. The
wire is to be tightened by wrapping it around a stake (See Figure
LD-1).
5.08-4
