[Amended 10-22-1990 by Ord. No. 90-49]
A. 
The Board may, from time to time, revise, modify or amend the terms of this chapter. The Board shall submit any proposed amendment to the Township Planning Commission and, at least 30 days prior to the hearing on the proposed amendment, to the Delaware County Planning Commission, for review and recommendation. The Board shall take no action to approve or deny any proposed amendment until it has received a report on the proposed amendment from the County Planning Commission or until 30 days have been allowed for the receipt of such report.
B. 
The Board of Commissioners shall, during a public meeting, fix the time and place of a public hearing on a proposed subdivision amendment and cause notice thereof to be given as follows:
(1) 
By publishing a legal notice once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the Township as provided for in § 9.02 of the Home Rule Charter. Such notice shall state the date, place, time and particular nature to be considered at the public hearing. The first publication shall not be more than 30 days and the second publication shall not be less than seven days from the date of the hearing.
(2) 
By mailing a notice thereof to contiguous municipalities, the Township School District and residents or associations of residents within the Township who shall have registered their names and addresses with the Township. The Board of Commissioners may fix an annual fee of provisions of notices to such registered persons or associations.
C. 
In the event that substantial amendments are made in the proposed ordinance or amendment, before voting on enactment, the Board, at least 10 days prior to enactment, shall readvertise a brief summary setting forth all the provisions in reasonable detail together with a summary of the amendments.
D. 
Within 30 days following adoption, the Township shall forward a certified copy of any amendment to this chapter to the Delaware County Planning Commission.
[Amended 10-22-1990 by Ord. No. 90-49]
Any person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated the provisions of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township, pay a judgment of not more than $500 plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Township as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or be payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the District Justice. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless the District Justice, determining that there has been a violation, further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation violating this chapter to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation by the District Justice, and thereafter each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that:
A. 
If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any provisions of this chapter to be invalid or ineffective in whole or in part, the effect of such decision shall be limited to those provisions which are expressly stated in the decision to be invalid or ineffective, and all other provisions of this chapter shall continue to be separately and fully effective.
B. 
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the application of any provision or provisions of this chapter to a lot, building or other structure or tract of land to be invalid or ineffective in whole or in part, the effect of such decision shall be limited to the person, property or situation immediately involved in the controversy and the application of any such provision to other persons, property or situations shall not be affected.
