The following land subdivision principles, standards and requirements shall be applied by the Board of Supervisors in evaluating plans for proposed subdivisions. These principles, standards and requirements are minimum provisions for the promotion of public health, safety, morals and general welfare.
A. 
All proposed subdivisions and land developments shall be suited for the purpose for which they are to be subdivided or developed, and no parcel of land shall be created, either by inclusion or exclusion from a proposed subdivision, which cannot be properly utilized for a permitted use under the existing zoning regulations.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: See Ch. 84, Zoning.
B. 
Land subject to hazards to life, health or property, such as may arise from fire, floods, disease, exposure to toxic or noxious fumes or excessive noise or other cause, shall not be subdivided for building purposes or developed unless the hazards have been eliminated or unless the plans show adequate safeguard against them.
C. 
Proposed developments shall be coordinated with existing nearby neighborhoods and communities, with particular reference to street layout and interconnection and the provision of sanitary sewage and water facilities so that the community and region as a whole may develop harmoniously.
D. 
Where either water supply or sanitary sewage disposal is provided by on-lot facilities, applicable Township, Chester County and state standards must be fully satisfied and the Chester County Board of Health must issue a permit for the design and installation of these facilities.
A. 
Proposed streets shall be properly related to such street plans or parts thereof as have been officially prepared and adopted by the Township.
B. 
Proposed streets shall further conform to such Township, county and state road and highway plans as have been prepared, adopted and/or filed as prescribed by law.
C. 
Streets shall be logically related to the topography so as to produce usable lots and reasonable grades.
D. 
Minor streets shall be so laid out as to discourage through traffic, but provisions for street connections into and from adjacent areas will generally be required.
E. 
If lots resulting from original subdivisions are large enough to permit resubdivision into additional lots or if a portion of the tract is not subdivided, adequate street rights-of-way to permit further subdivision shall be provided as necessary.
F. 
Where a development abuts an existing public street of improper width or alignment, the Township may require the dedication of land sufficient to widen the street or correct the alignment.
G. 
Wherever a development abuts or contains an existing or proposed public street with a right-of-way of 80 feet or more, the Township shall require restrictions of access to the major street by provision of reverse-frontage lots.
[Amended 5-25-1993 by Ord. No. 3-1993]
H. 
New half or partial streets shall not be permitted, except where essential to reasonable subdivision of a tract in conformance with the other requirements and standards of this chapter and where, in addition, satisfactory assurance for dedication of the remaining part of the street can be secured.
I. 
Wherever a tract to be subdivided borders on an existing half or partial street, the other part of the street shall be shown within such tract.
[Amended 5-25-1993 by Ord. No. 3-1993]
J. 
Dead-end streets shall be prohibited, except as stubs to permit future street extension into adjoining tracts or when designed as culs-de-sac.[1]

A. 
Review procedures; reservation of land required.
(1) 
Upon its review of a plan for subdivision or land development, the Township Planning Commission shall consider the open space and recreational needs of the additional residents that will result upon implementation of the subdivision or land development, discuss its findings and the further requirements of this section with the subdivider or land developer as it deems necessary in the furtherance of the public interest and the provisions of this section, and make such report thereon as it deems necessary for consideration by the Board of Supervisors in its review and processing of the development application.
(2) 
Subdividers and land developers shall be required to provide or reserve areas for facilities normally required in residential neighborhoods, including open space, parks, playgrounds and playfields. Areas provided or reserved for such community facilities shall be adequate to provide for building sites, landscaping and off-street parking as appropriate to the types of facilities required or likely to develop in the future.
