Developers seeking approval of a minor subdivision as defined in §
275-4 or a division of land into tracts of at least 10 acres for agricultural purposes may disregard the preliminary plan stages and proceed to final plan application. Four copies of the final plan shall be submitted. All steps in the final review procedure, with the exception of those guaranteeing provision of streets and public utilities, shall apply to a minor subdivision. If approved the final plan shall be officially stamped as approved, dated and signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Commission, and recorded within 90 days with the Indiana County Recorder of Deeds, or the approval will be voided.
Preliminary plan submission requirements are as follows:
A. General information: names and addresses of the property
owner, developer and preparer of the plan; date that plan was prepared;
total acreage of the property; total number of lots, mobile homes
and/or commercial units to be accommodated; density of development
expressed as average lot size, or number of dwelling units per acre
in a multifamily development.
B. Map of existing conditions and proposed plan: scale
not smaller than one inch equals 100 feet, such as one inch equals
50 feet; north arrow; title block; graphic scale; boundary of the
property showing bearings and distances of all lines and arcs; names
of owners of abutting property or abutting plans; contours at five-foot
intervals throughout the property which may be interpolated from USGS
data; existing and proposed streets showing right-of-way and pavement
widths; existing and proposed sanitary sewer, water supply and storm
sewer lines in approximate locations; existing and proposed easements
noting purpose; existing structures, railroads, streams and other
natural features; proposed plan of lots showing approximate dimensions
for each lot line; proposed location and height of buildings and parking
areas if a multifamily commercial or industrial development; proposed
areas of site grading indicating percentage of finished slopes; locational
map relating the site to prominent features in the vicinity at a scale
of the U.S.G.S. map.
C. Profiles where the developer proposes new streets,
sanitary sewers and/or storm sewers, he shall provide profiles along
the center line of the improvements, showing grades with approximate
percentages, relationship to existing ground surface, manholes, inlets
and approximate lengths of tangents and curves.
D. Engineer's report. At the discretion of the Planning
Commission, the developer's engineer shall prepare a feasibility report
on proposed sewage disposal, whether on-lot based on soil absorption,
or utilizing a community or public sewage disposal system based on
interceptor and disposal plant capacity and impact of effluent discharge
to the receiving stream. In addition, feasibility of stormwater collection
and retention in terms of impact on downstream properties may be required
as well as feasibility of water supply if provided by wells as to
quality, quantity and likely depth, and presence of flood-prone or
slide-prone land on the property or adjacent to it.
Final plan submission requirements are as follows:
A. General information. The plan shall be prepared in
accordance with the "Professional Engineers Registration Law" (P.L.
913, No. 367) and shall be presented in ink on tracing cloth or plastic
material at a scale not smaller than one inch equals 100 feet; North
arrow, graphic scale and the preparing engineer's seal shall be shown;
a key map shall be provided if the plan is in sections to show the
relationship between the portion proposed for final approval and that
given preliminary approval; a title block shall be placed in the lower
right corner of the plan showing the plan name, name and address of
property owner and prospective developer if different, name and address
of engineer, and date of submission.
[Amended 8-9-1989 by Ord. No. 907]
B. Plan for final approval and recording. All property
boundary lines, lot lines, street lines and easement lines shall be
shown by bearings and distances to the nearest minute and tenth of
a foot; building setback lines on all properties; street and easement
widths, pavement widths and street names; number of each lot running
consecutively over entire plan given preliminary approval or number
corresponding to the assigned street number address, if requested
by the Township; location of all monuments; designation of areas to
be dedicated for public or community use; names of abutting property
owners and subdivisions; location of structures, including height
of each and distances between adjacent buildings and between buildings
and adjacent property lines in a multifamily, commercial or industrial
plan; location of access points from adjacent roads, private drives
and parking areas indicating number of spaces if a multifamily, commercial
or industrial plan; proposed grading with contours at two-foot intervals
if a multifamily, commercial or industrial plan; sewage collection
lines showing line size, direction of flow and manholes; water distribution
lines showing line size, valves and hydrants; stormwater lines showing
line size, direction of flow, inlets and retention devices.
C. Profiles along the center line of all new street sections
and sanitary sewer and stormwater sewer lines profiles shall be drawn
at the same scale as the plan showing the lengths and grades of tangents
and curves and curve data of all roads; the lengths of sanitary and
stormwater sewer line sections and slope of each; manholes and inlets
with top and bottom elevations; stormwater impoundments showing dam,
spillway and drain pipe.
D. Cross section: a section across a typical street right-of-way
showing materials to be used, depth of materials, dimensions and grading
to create gutter lines.
E. Supporting documents: evidence that the property is
owned by the person or corporation submitting the plan or that he
or it has entered into a sales agreement for purchase; a statement
describing in detail the improvements to be built by the developer,
