The following minimum subdivision principles,
standards and requirements will be applied by the Planning Commission
and the Board of Commissioners in evaluating the plans for a proposed
subdivision.
The building line shall be in accordance with
the terms of the Patterson Township Zoning Ordinance.
[Amended 4-9-2015 by Ord.
No. 449]
Sidewalks and crosswalks shall be installed by the subdivider or developer along public or private streets and/or where deemed necessary for public safety. All sidewalks and crosswalks shall be constructed in accordance with Article
II of Chapter
164, §
164-5, and any resolution adopted by the Township in conjunction with §
164-5 establishing the specifications for sidewalks.
Reserve strips surrounding property or areas
reserved for any purpose which shall make any area unprofitable for
regular or special assessments or which may revert to an untended
nuisance area will not be approved by the Planning Commission and
the Board of Commissioners.
The subdivider may choose his street names subject
to the approval of the Planning Commission and the Board of Commissioners.
No street, other than an extension, may be given the name of an existing
street in the Township's postal service area. A letter from the local
postmaster certifying that the street names used are not duplication
of street names within the same post office service area shall be
filed by the developer.
In subdividing land, it shall be done in a manner
that will not have the effect of barring adjacent property owners
from access to the streets and ways of alignment.
