A sketch plan may be submitted by the subdivider or developer as
a basis for informal discussion with the Planning Commission, which
may comment upon such sketch plan, but no approval or disapproval
shall be given.[1]
Data furnished in a sketch plan shall be at the discretion of the
subdivider. For the fullest usefulness, it is suggested that a sketch
should include the following information:
Existing contours at vertical intervals of five feet or, in the case
of relatively level tracts, at such lesser intervals as may be necessary
for satisfactory study and planning of the tract.
Datum to which contour elevations refer shall be United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey datum. (Borough of Verona will furnish elevations
of nearest known bench marks.)
Location and width of all proposed streets, alleys, rights-of-way
and easements; proposed lot lines with approximate dimensions and
areas of all lots; proposed minimum setback line for each street;
playgrounds, public buildings, public areas and parcels of land proposed
to be dedicated or reserved for public use; detention ponds; proposed
phasing of land development; typical section of all streets.
Where the preliminary plan covers only a part of the subdivider's
entire holding, a sketch shall be submitted of the prospective street
layout for the remainder.
Where applicable, a plan revision module for land development
shall be the responsibility of the applicant and shall be prepared
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection. The completed module shall accompany
the preliminary plan submission.
For subdivision and developments over one acre, a traffic impact
analysis shall be performed and submitted with proposals to alleviate
any traffic problems created by proposed development.[2]
Final plans shall be on sheets 18 inches by 24 inches. Where necessary
to avoid sheets larger than the size prescribed, final plans shall
be drawn in two or more sections. The plan shall be drawn and annotated
in accordance with the subdivision plan form shown as Appendix A hereto.[1] The final plan shall be at a scale of not more than 100
feet to the inch nor less than 50 feet to the inch.
The final plan will have incorporated all the changes and modifications
required by the Commission. Otherwise, it shall conform to the approved
preliminary plan and may constitute only that portion of the approved
preliminary plan which the applicant proposes to record and develop
at the time, provided such portion conforms with all the requirements
of this chapter.
All existing streets and driveways on or adjacent to the tract, including
name, right-of-way width, cartway width, street lines, lot lines,
rights-of-way, easements and areas dedicated or proposed to be dedicated
to public use.
Lots within a subdivision shall be numbered and their area shown
within the lot boundaries; house number, as assigned by the Borough
of Verona, shall also be shown therein.
An approval block providing for the signatures of the reviewing
agency and the Borough Council and the date of approval, and a section
titled "Municipal Stipulations" regarding the issuance of building
permits in relation to sanitary sewage, as per example in Appendix
A.[2]
A statement of acknowledgement in legal form, executed by a
notary, stating that the subdivider is the owner or equitable owner
of the land proposed for subdivision, and that the subdivision as
shown on the final plan is the act of the subdivider and that it is
desired that the same be recorded.
A copy of the sewage plan revision module for land development
or other equivalent documentation approved by the Department of Environmental
Protection in compliance with the requirements of the Pennsylvania
Sewage Facilities Act.[3]
Proposed center-line grade of streets with percent of grade
on tangents and elevations at fifty-foot intervals, including grades
at intersections, control points, etc.
A copy of any and all proposed written easements or deeds to be granted,
including but not limited to storm drainage easements, recreation
easements or dedication or agreements to pay a fee in lieu thereof,
and sanitary sewer easements.
Written agreement of land developer or subdivider in a form approved
by the Borough Council, including an agreement to construct in form
and substance agreeable to the Borough of Verona required improvements
including, but not limited to, streets, curbs, sidewalks and storm
drainage facilities.
An approved Department of Environmental Protection planning module
where on-lot sewage disposal systems or community treatment systems
are proposed, or written proof of the Department of Environmental
Protection's approval for the extension of existing sanitary
sewer service.
The Recorder of Deeds of the County shall not accept any plan for
recording unless such final plan officially notes the approval of
the Verona Planning Commission.
Before approval of a final plan, the Commission must be assured that
all the improvements, as shown on the plan, have been installed or
the proper completion bond is filed with the Borough in accordance
with this chapter.
Before approval of the final plan, the planning staff will make a
field inspection at the subdivision site to ascertain that all provisions
have been completed as shown on the final plat and shall provide a
written report to the Planning Commission.
No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions shall be made on
any final plan of a subdivision or land development after approval
has been given by the Commission and endorsed in writing on the plan,
unless the plan is first resubmitted to the Commission.
The subdivider or developer will furnish the Borough of Verona
with as-built plans for sanitary sewer systems and storm sewer systems
within the subdivision or land development.
