[Ord. 679, 6/16/1970, § 401; as amended by Ord.
830, 2/13/1995]
In a subdivision for residential use of less than five lots
and where the lots abut existing public roads and utilities, the Council,
upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission, may waive data
requirements such as topographic, street and utility information,
where Council deems such information is unnecessary.
[Ord. 679, 6/16/1970, § 402]
The subdivider may prepare a sketch plan to present to the Planning
Commission at the advisory meeting. This plan may be drawn as a freehand
pencil sketch and does not require precise dimensions or any special
sheet size. This sketch plan may be used to show the Planning Commission
the location, proposed street and lot layout and any other significant
features of the proposed subdivision.
[Ord. 679, 6/16/1970, § 403]
The following maps and data shall be submitted with the application
for preliminary plat approval. These maps and data may be on separate
sheets or combined on one sheet, depending on the size and complexity
of the proposed subdivision. The overall size of the sheets shall
be determined by the Planning Commission:
B.
A site map of the proposed subdivision and all lands within 200 feet
of its boundaries showing:
(1)
Contours of the site at vertical intervals of two feet if the
general slope is less than 10%, and at intervals of five feet if the
general slope is greater than 10%.
(2)
Character and location of natural or artificial features existing
on the land which would affect the design of the subdivision, such
as wooded areas, streams, direction and gradient of ground slope,
embankments, retaining walls, buildings, or nonresidential usage of
land.

(7)
Subsurface conditions, including information about past and
possible future mining activities. If seams of minable material are
located within 300 feet of the subdivision surface, the subdivider
may be required to prove that he owns rights of support. If seams
of mineable material or mined out areas are within less than 100 feet
of the subdivision surface the subdivider may be required to prove
that he owns right of support and/or may be required to submit a report
of a soils engineer or geologist as to the effect of subsurface conditions
upon the proposed subdivision.
(8)
Tract boundary lines by calculated distances and bearings.
(9)
Title, graphic scales, north point and date.
C.
A subdivision plat of the proposed subdivision drawn at a scale no
smaller than 100 feet to one inch showing:
(1)
Subdivision name.
(2)
Names and address of owner, subdivider, and person who prepared
the plan.
(3)
Street pattern, including the names (which shall not duplicate
existing streets in the Borough unless it is an extension of an existing
street), widths of rights-of-way of streets, widths of easements of
alleys, approximate grades of streets where they exceed 8%.
(4)
Layout of lots, including dimensions, number, building setback
lines or front yard lines.
(5)
Parcels of land to be dedicated or reserved for schools, parks,
playgrounds or other public or community use.
(6)
Key plan, legend, notes, graphic scale, north point and date.
D.
Engineering plans for the proposed subdivision showing:
(1)
Profiles, cross-sections and specifications for proposed street
improvements.
(2)
Profiles and other explanatory data concerning installation
of water distribution systems, storm sewers, and sanitary sewers.
(3)
A report on the feasibility of connection to an existing sewerage
system, including distances to the nearest public sewer and service
load of the subdivision.
(4)
If connection to a public sewerage system is not feasible, a
report on the feasibility of a separate sewerage system and treatment
works, including the design population, type and location of the treatment,
and receiving stream.
E.
Restrictions. A draft of the protective covenants or private restrictions
to be adopted in the final subdivision plat.
[Ord. 679, 6/16/1970, § 404]
The final plat shall be drawn at a scale no smaller than 100
feet to one inch. The final plat shall show:
A.
Subdivision name, name and address of owner and subdivider, source
of title of land as shown by the books of the Recorder of Deeds of
the County, graphic scale, north point, date, certificate of approval
of Planning Commission and Council.
B.
Survey date with certification by a registered professional engineer
or land surveyor showing:
(1)
Calculated distance and bearings of the subdivision boundaries,
lots, utility easements, streets, alleys, building setback lines,
and parcels of reserved or dedicated land for community purposes.
(2)
Location and distances to the nearest established street corners
or official monuments, and of the streets intersecting the boundaries
of the subdivision.
(3)
Location, type, material and size of monuments.
(4)
Complete curve data.
(5)
