[Amended 4-28-1980 by Ord. No. 80-13]
The preliminary plan and any subsequent revision shall be submitted
in duplicate to the Borough Engineer accompanied by an application
for approval. The application for approval shall be forwarded to the
Montgomery County Planning Commission and the Borough Planning Commission
for review and report and to such other committees of Borough Council
as Council may from time to time direct. After the Montgomery County
Planning Commission and the Borough Planning Commission have either
reviewed and reported such applications or, if no report is received,
after the expiration of 45 days from the date the application was
forwarded to said Planning Commissions, it shall be presented to Borough
Council for final approval. Such approval shall be effective for three
years only, unless extended by Borough Council. Where, however, final
approval is preceded by preliminary approval, the three-year period
shall be counted from the date of preliminary approval. When deemed
desirable, the applicant may be requested to agree in writing to an
extension of time to the prescribed period of time normally allowed
to the applicant in which a decision concerning the status of the
application for approval of a plan is to be rendered, in which case,
Borough Council shall render a decision and communicate it, in the
prescribed manner, to the applicant before the termination of the
extended time period.
