but the Board need not require that land proposed to be set aside
for common open space be dedicated as a condition of the approval
of the subdivision or land development. The Board shall require the

and maintenance of the common open space consistent with the requirements
of the Pennsylvania Uniform Condominium Act, and such organization
shall not dispose of the common open space by sale or otherwise, except
to the Township or, after approval of the Board, to an organization
established to own and maintain the common open space. If the common
open space deteriorates or if, in the judgment of the Board, it is

plan or otherwise, the Township may proceed to remedy any such deficiency
by enforcement of any applicable Township ordinance or by injunctive
relief or otherwise.

form an angle, when the adjacent sides or ends are extended to intersect,
of not less than 45° and not more than 135°.[1]
