number to all applications for preliminary plan and final plan approval.
All matters pertaining to such applications shall be filed in accordance
with the subdivision and/or land development application number. In
addition, the Township shall keep a record of its findings, decisions
and recommendations relative to all subdivision and/or land development
plans filed with the application for review. All such records shall
be public records.
Upon the filing of an application for preliminary

time to time provide by ordinance or resolution.

consultants, Township Solicitor and such other professionals as are
engaged by the Township to review and evaluate subdivision and land
development plans. The need for such professionals and the selection
thereof shall be determined solely by the Board of Supervisors.
A. In the event that the applicant disputes the amount
of any such review fees, the applicant shall, within 10 days of the
billing date, notify the Township that such fees are disputed, in
which case the Township shall not delay or disapprove a subdivision
or land development application due to the applicant's request over
disputed fees.

160-85F.

by the Board of Supervisors in connection with subdivisions or land
developments.
