The purpose of Article
II is to set forth the procedures for submission and processing of applications for preliminary and final subdivision and land development approval, for modifications from requirements, for recording of final subdivision and land development plans, for inspection of construction of required improvements with respect to subdivisions and land developments, for release of performance security, for acceptance of public improvements, and for completing required improvements where the developer is in default.
The official filing date for a subdivision or land development shall be the date of the regular Planning Commission meeting next following the date the complete submittal, including payment of the applicable filing fee, is filed, provided that should the next regular meeting occur more than 30 days following the filing of the application, the official filing date shall be the 30th day following the day the complete application is filed. The application for development for preliminary plan approval shall be considered complete if it is found to contain all the information required under §§
178-17 and
178-18. The application for development for final plan approval shall be considered complete if is found to contain all the information required under §§
178-19 and
178-20.
In the event that any improvements which may
be required have not been installed as provided in this chapter or
in accord with the approved final plan, the Township may enforce any
corporate bond or other security by appropriate legal and equitable
remedies. If proceeds of such bond or other security are insufficient
to pay the cost of installing or making repairs or corrections to
all the improvements covered by said security, the Supervisors may,
at their option, install part of such improvements in all or part
of the subdivision or land development and may institute appropriate
legal or equitable action to recover the moneys necessary to complete
the remainder of the improvements. All of the proceeds, whether resulting
from the security or from any legal or equitable action brought against
the developer, or both, shall be used solely for the installation
of the improvements covered by such security, and not for any other
municipal purpose.
