section in any residential subdivision or land development, except
for the last section, shall contain a minimum of 25% of the total
number of dwelling units as depicted on the preliminary plan, unless
a lesser percentage is approved by the Township Board of Supervisors
in its discretion.
C.
Additionally, final plans shall be submitted to adjacent
municipalities and governmental agencies or authorities that may be
affected by the plan.
[Amended 11-10-2009 by Ord. No. 2009-3]
