[Ord. No. 53, 8-17-1998]
Prior to the preparation of a plat, it is suggested that the
proprietor meet informally with the township planning commission to
investigate the procedures of the township with reference to subdivision
requirements.
[Ord. No. 53, 8-17-1998]
(a)
The proprietor should obtain copies of and/or be thoroughly familiar
with:
(1)
The township Zoning Ordinance, master plan, subdivision regulations,
engineering specifications, and other similar ordinances or controls
relative to the subdivision and improvement of land.
(2)
The relationship of the proposed subdivision with respect to
adjacent land uses and to major thoroughfares and plans for widening
of thoroughfares.
(3)
The adequacy and standards for schools and public open spaces,
including parks and playgrounds to serve the proposed subdivision.
(4)
The availability, standards and adequacy of sewage disposal,
water supply and storm drainage within the township.
(b)
The proprietor may, at his/her election, submit a pre-preliminary plan showing the proposed development of the subdivision in schematic form, including the area of first development. Such a sketch plan should include general layout of streets and lots, existing characteristics and conditions of the site, and general area set aside for schools, parks and other community facilities (see section 58-25).
(c)
Nothing in this section, however, shall be so construed as to require
approval of the prepreliminary plan. The pre-preliminary plan shall
serve only as a general guide to the proprietor and the township.
