All preliminary and final plans shall be prepared by a registered
engineer or surveyor and certified by him under seal to be true and
correct.
[Amended 10-19-1992 by Ord. No. 615]
Preliminary plans shall show:
A.
The boundary lines and acreage of the land to be subdivided based
on an actual balanced survey of second order (1:10,000) accuracy tied
into existing Borough monumentation and bearings and showing all street
lines, zone boundaries and property lines abutting or within 300 feet
of the premises, together with the names and addresses of the owners
thereof, except lots in a subdivision of record, which shall be shown
by lot number and name and map book and page recording of said subdivision.
B.
The topography of the ground, showing buildings, important trees
or wooded areas, streets, water, gas, sewer and drainage facilities
in and within 300 feet of the boundaries, with their elevation based
on USGS sea-level datum or approved local datum, together with the
contour of the land within 100 feet outside of the plot and continued
to any street within 300 feet or more to which the development may
possibly connect. Contour of the land shall be shown by lines having
vertical intervals of not more than two feet for land with an average
natural slope of 4% or less and at vertical intervals of five feet
for more steeply sloping land.
C.
The preliminary plan shall show:
(1)
The streets, their location, width, grade, sight distance and probable
elevation of final center-line grades, sanitary sewer and drainage
facilities with their probable grade, elevation and final outlet,
waterlines, valves and hydrants.
(2)
Easements, their width and purpose.
(3)
Lots, their number, design area, scale dimensions and restriction
lines. Corner lots should have sufficient width to permit side yard
restrictions as a continuation of abutting front yards at setback.
(4)
Location of proposed control monuments.
(5)
Proposed subdivision and street names.
(6)
Location and elevation of vertical control bench marks. A minimum
of one temporary bench mark shall be established for every 10 acres
or fraction thereof of the property to be developed.
D.
Title should include names of proposed subdivision, owner and developer,
location, the name and registration of the engineer or surveyor by
whom prepared and the scale of the drawing.
E.
Sufficient additional notes to indicate the meridian and datum used
and the total length of streets, sewers, storm sewers, waterlines
and other utilities that may be required.
F.
Estimated character and schedule of development and cost of the required
improvements.
G.
Water supply. If water is to be provided by means other than private
wells owned and maintained by the individual owners of lots within
the subdivision or development, applicants shall present evidence
to the Borough Council that the subdivision is to be supplied by a
certified public utility, a bona fide cooperative association of lot
owners, or by a municipal corporation, authority or utility. A copy
of a certificate of public convenience from the Pennsylvania Public
Utility Commission or an application for such certificate, a cooperative
agreement or a commitment or agreement to serve the area in question,
whichever is appropriate, shall be acceptable.
[Amended 10-19-1992 by Ord. No. 615]
A.
The final plan shall be made in India ink on a permanent reproducible
base, such as a moistureproof tracing cloth, and shall show the property
lines of the subdivision with their course and distance, all existing
and proposed landmarks, streets, alleys, easements, rights-of-way,
crosswalks, building lines, dedications, drainagecourses and buildings
in the land to be subdivided and existing immediately adjacent streets
and property lines, together with the owner's name or lot number,
subdivision name and map book and page or recording. It shall also
show all lot lines and distances along said lines and along the center
lines of all streets, with sufficient included angles and bearings
to determine readily the location and bearing of every street, lot
and boundary line. In all curved streets and lot lines, the radius,
central angle, and length of all curves shall be shown.
B.
The final plan shall have endorsed thereon an affidavit executed
by the owner that he owns the land and adopts the plan as his plan
of subdivision, setting forth dedication to public use of land for
streets, parks or other purposes and a release of the Borough from
any and all liability for damages arising from appropriation by it
of any land so dedicated, all of which shall be acknowledged by the
owner for the purpose of recording. The affidavit shall also include
a reference to the book and page where the deed by which the subdivider
acquired the land is recorded or, if acquired otherwise than by deed,
the method of acquisition and place of record or registration. It
shall also have endorsed thereon forms of approval to be signed by
the Planning Commission, the proper officials of the Borough and the
Recorder of Deeds.
C.
It shall be accompanied by a separate certificate of a qualified
attorney at law to the effect that the owner has a good and merchantable
title to the premises involved, free of all encumbrances.
D.
Water supply. If water is to be provided by means other than private
wells owned and maintained by the individual owners of lots within
the subdivision or development, applicants shall present evidence
to the Borough Council that the subdivision is to be supplied by a
certified public utility, a bona fide cooperative association of lot
owners, or by a municipal corporation, authority or utility. A copy
of a certificate of public convenience from the Pennsylvania Public
Utility Commission or an application for such certificate, a cooperative
agreement or a commitment or agreement to serve the area in question,
whichever is appropriate, shall be acceptable.
A.
When the construction of any improvement is required as a condition
to the approval of the plan of a proposed subdivision, construction
plans and profiles shall be prepared showing the existing and final
paving grade along the center line of all proposed streets, crosswalks,
alleys, and easements, if required, together with their cross sections
and abutting lots and restriction lines and locations, grades and
elevations of all sewer, drainage, water and utility lines, with their
connections, valves, inlets and facilities, together with cost estimates
and sufficient details to permit a decision to be made as to their
acceptability.
B.
These plans shall be revised, if required, after construction is
completed to show the actual location and elevation of the facilities
as constructed.
