of the Recorder of Deeds of the county within 90 days of such final
approval. In such case, the applicant shall mail or deliver a receipt
of the recording to the Township offices.
(2)

involve the dedication of land to the Township or PennDOT or if the
Board of Supervisors require the plan to be recorded.

The Board of Supervisors may determine that Township
approval has expired regarding a subdivision plan that was not recorded

The applicant shall provide to the Township
one Mylar copy and four paper clear and legible copies of the recorded
final plan (also known as the "record plan"), in addition to providing
a Mylar copy to the county (or whatever form is required by the county).
The Township copies shall be made after recording and shall be exact

open space and other proposed improvements are to be offered or not
offered for dedication to the Township.
B.
Private improvements. Every street, park or other
improvement shown on a subdivision or land development plan that is
recorded, as provided herein, shall be deemed to be a private street,
open space or improvement until such time as it may be offered and
officially accepted for dedication to the Township or is duly condemned.
C.
Dedication of improvements. The record plan shall
state by formal notation whether the streets, any common open space
and other proposed improvements are proposed to be offered or not
offered for dedication to the Township.

the respective subdivision improvements, the subdivider shall provide
one Mylar reproducible and three clear light background paper prints
of the record final plan. Prior to submitting these plans, one clear
light background paper print shall be submitted to the Township Engineer
for review.

valve, bend, tee, cross, plug and lateral. Each curb stop and valve
box shall be stationed and defined with a reference tie when necessary.
