All provisions of this chapter shall be administered by the Board of Supervisors or its officially designated representatives. All matters relating to this chapter shall be submitted to the Township Secretary, who shall handle the matter in accordance with current Township policies, procedures, and guidelines established by the Board of Supervisors.
The Township shall keep a public record of its correspondence, findings, recommendations, and actions relating to plans filed for review, in accordance with the policies, procedures, and guidelines established by the Board of Supervisors.
A. 
The Board of Supervisors shall adopt and amend by resolution a schedule of fees, payable by the applicant to the Township, for the filing of sketch, preliminary, and final plan applications.
B. 
No application for plan approval shall be deemed complete and officially received for review, nor shall any previously submitted plan application be processed further, unless and until all fees, costs, and escrow deposits are paid.
C. 
The applicant shall submit additional fees to all governmental agencies required to review subdivision and land development plan applications.
D. 
In the event of a combined preliminary and final plan application, to the extent otherwise permitted, the applicant shall submit separate applications and fees.
E. 
The applicant shall establish funds sufficient to pay all fees and costs required in connection with the plan application. The escrow shall be established when a plan application is submitted for review and approval. The funds shall be replenished upon the submittal of any revised plan or application. The Board of Supervisors shall adopt and amend by resolution a schedule of escrow fund fees. The escrow fund shall be sufficient to guarantee the payment of:
(1) 
The services of the Township Engineer, Township Solicitor, and other professional consultants related to review and consideration of the application, the preparation of development and public improvements guarantee agreements, and all other costs for engineering, traffic surveys, professional certifications and other services deemed necessary by the Board of Supervisors in reviewing plans, including but not limited to the services of a land planner or landscape architect.
(2) 
The actual cost of all drainage, water and material tests.
(3) 
The cost of Township inspection services.
(4) 
Legal fees, advertising and other costs incurred in the dedication of streets, easements and public improvements to the Township.
(5) 
Actual costs of recording.
(6) 
An administrative charge of 15% of the total costs described in Subsection E(1) through (5) above.
F. 
The escrow fund shall be established to enable the Township to draw against the escrow fund to pay for the described fees and costs. Escrow fund interest shall accrue to the benefit of the Township.
(1) 
If the amount of the escrow fund at any time is less than 25% of the original amount established for the particular application, the applicant shall deposit additional funds to increase the balance of the fund to the original amount.
(2) 
The failure of the applicant to increase the escrow fund as required shall entitle the Township to suspend the plan review process for an amount of time equal to the time between the date of the written notice to the applicant concerning the deficiency in the escrow fund and the date upon which the applicant complies with that notice.
G. 
In the event of the withdrawal of a subdivision or land development plan, the escrow fund shall be used to pay all fees and costs incurred in connection with the review of the plan up to the time of withdrawal and the fees and costs incurred in connection with the withdrawal. The Township shall refund any remaining amounts in the escrow fund 90 days after the date of the notice of written withdrawal of the plan application.
H. 
No final plan application shall be approved and no record plan shall be signed by the Township unless and until all fees and costs have been paid. The failure to pay fees and costs shall constitute grounds for denial of the plan application.
I. 
The Township shall authorize the return of any remaining monies in the escrow fund 90 days from the date of the public meeting in which the plan application is approved or disapproved.
J. 
This section shall apply to any subdivision and land development plan application including revisions, amendments, and resubdivisions.
A. 
Any person, partnership, or corporation who or which has violated the provisions of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by Marlborough Township, pay a judgment of not more than $500 plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney fees incurred by Marlborough Township as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied, or be payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the Magisterial District Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, Marlborough Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure.
B. 
Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless the Magisterial District Judge, determining that there has been a violation, further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership, or corporation violating the chapter to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation by the Magisterial District Judge and thereafter each day that the violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. All fines collected for such violations shall be paid to the Township.
