A sketch plan may be submitted by the subdivider or
developer as a basis for informal discussion with the Planning Commission,
which may comment upon such sketch plan, but no approval or disapproval
shall be given.
Data furnished in a sketch plan shall be at the discretion
of the subdivider. For fullest usefulness, it is suggested that a
sketch should include the following information:
Existing contours at vertical intervals of five feet
or, in the case of relatively level tracts, at such lesser interval
as may be necessary for satisfactory study and planning of the tract.
Datum to which contour elevations refer shall be United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey datum. (The Township will furnish
elevations of nearest know bench marks.)
Location and width of all proposed streets,
alleys, rights-of-way and easements; proposed lot lines with approximate
dimensions and areas of all lots; proposed minimum setback line for
each street; playgrounds, public buildings, public areas and parcels
of land proposed to be dedicated or reserved for public use; proposed
street names; proposed watercourses and detention ponds; proposed
phasing of land development; typical section of all streets.
Where the preliminary plan covers only a part
of the subdivider's entire holding, a sketch shall be submitted of
the prospective street layout for the remainder.
Where applicable, a plan revision module for
land development shall be the responsibility of the applicant and
shall by prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The completed
module shall accompany the preliminary plan submission.
Final plans shall be on sheets 18 inches by 24 inches. Where necessary to avoid sheets larger than the size prescribed, final plans shall be drawn in two or more sections. The plan shall be drawn and annotated in accordance with the "Subdivision Plan Form" shown as Appendix A hereto.[1] The final plan shall be at a scale of not more than 100
feet to the inch.
All existing streets and driveways on or adjacent
to the tract, including name, right-of-way width, cartway width, street
lines, lot lines, rights-of-way, easements and areas dedicated or
proposed to be dedicated to public use.
Lots within a subdivision shall be numbered
and their area shown within the lot boundaries; house numbers, as
assigned by the Township, shall also be shown therein.
An approval block providing for the signatures of the reviewing agency and the Board of Supervisors and the date of approval, as per example in Appendix A.[2]
An appropriate statement signed by the owner
unequivocally indicating his intention either: a) to dedicate for
public use all streets, roads, easements and rights-of-way so intended
and designated; or b) to reserve as private any streets, roads, easements
or rights-of-way intended not to be dedicated for public use.
A statement of acknowledgement in legal form,
executed by a notary, stating that the subdivider is the owner or
equitable owner of the land proposed for subdivision and that the
subdivision as shown on the final plan is the act and deed of the
subdivider and that it is desired to record the same.
A copy of the sewage plan revision module for
land development or other equivalent documentation approved by the
Department of Environmental Protection in compliance with the requirements
of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act.[3]
Proposed center line grade of streets with percent
of grade on tangents and elevations at fifty-foot intervals, including
grades at intersections, control points, etc.
A copy of any and all proposed written easements or
deeds to be granted, including, but not limited to, storm drainage
easements, recreation easements or dedication or agreements to pay
a fee in lieu thereof, and sanitary sewer easements.
Written agreement of land developer or subdivider
in a form approved by the Board of Supervisors, including an agreement
to construct, in form and substance agreeable to the Township, required
improvements, including but not limited to streets, curbs, sidewalks
and storm drainage facilities.
An approved Department of Environmental Protection
planning module where on-lot sewage disposal systems or community
treatment systems are proposed, or written proof of the Department
of Environmental Protection's approval for the extension of existing
sanitary sewer service.
Typical location of sewers and utilities, with sizes.
The subdivider or developer will furnish the
Township with as-built plans for sanitary sewer systems and storm
sewer systems within the subdivision or land development.
