After adoption of the Official Map, all streets, watercourses,
and public grounds and the elements listed in Section 401 of the MPC on final, recorded plats which are subsequently approved
as provided by the MPC shall be deemed amendments to the Official
Map.
The adoption of any street, street lines, or other public lands
as part of the Official Map shall not, in and of itself, constitute
or be deemed to constitute the opening or establishment of any street
nor the taking or acceptance of any land, nor shall it obligate the
Township to improve or maintain any such street or land. The adoption
of the proposed watercourses or public grounds as part of the Official
Map shall not, in and of itself, constitute or be deemed to constitute
the taking or acceptance of any land of the Township.
For the purposes of preserving the integrity of the Official
Map of Manor Township, no permit shall be issued for any building
within the lines of any street, watercourse, or public ground shown
or laid out on the Official Map. No person shall recover any damages
for the taking for public use of any building or improvements constructed
within the lines of any street, watercourse, or public ground after
the same shall have been included in the Official Map, and any such
building or improvement shall be removed at the expense of the owner.
However, when the property of which the reserved location forms a
part cannot yield a reasonable return to the owner unless a permit
shall be granted, the owner may apply to the Board of Supervisors
for the grant of a special encroachment permit to build. Before granting
any special encroachment permit authorized in this section, the Board
of Supervisors may submit the application for special encroachment
permit to the Manor Township Planning Commission and allow the Planning
Commission 30 days for review and comment and shall give public notice
and hold a public hearing at which all parties in interest shall have
an opportunity to be heard. A refusal by the Board of Supervisors
to grant the special encroachment permit applied for may be appealed
by the applicant to the Zoning Hearing Board in the same manner, and
within the same time limitation, as provided in Article IX of the
MPC.
The Board of Supervisors may fix the time for which streets,
watercourses, and public grounds on the Official Map shall be deemed
reserved for future taking or acquisition for public use. However,
the reservation for public grounds shall lapse and become void one
year after an owner of such property has submitted a written notice
to the Board of Supervisors announcing his intentions to build, subdivide,
or otherwise develop the land covered by the reservation, or has made
formal application for an official permit to build a structure for
private use, unless the Board of Supervisors shall have acquired the
property or begun condemnation proceedings to acquire such property
before the end of the one-year period.
The words and phrases used in this chapter shall have the meanings
given to them in Section 107 of the MPC unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
