Brecknock Township places great value on the open exchange of ideas between the applicant and Brecknock Township before the applicant invests considerable time and funds in the preparation and submittal of the applicant's subdivision and/or land development plan. The applicant is encouraged, but not required, to initiate the subdivision and land development process by initiating and completing the sketch plan process. The sketch plan shall be prepared in accordance with Article V and is a permissive and not a mandatory submission. The submission of the sketch plan would enable Brecknock Township to openly discuss the applicant's plans and project and to make recommendations for the applicant to consider in preparing the formal submission. Brecknock Township has prepared the following flow chart as a summary of the plan processing procedures. The flow chart does not, nor shall it be construed to, override or supersede the processing requirements set forth in this chapter but is provided as an additional aid to the applicant.
 |
A.
General. All applicants for subdivision or land development may submit
a sketch plan to Brecknock Township for review prior to submission
of a formal application; however, submission of a sketch plan is not
mandatory. Submission of a sketch plan does not constitute a formal
subdivision or land development application.
B.

(1)
Sketch plan reviews are not required to be consistent with procedures of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. Sketch plans prepared for review and discussion shall include those items listed in § 98-24.

sketch plan shall depict the proposed access and frontage improvements.

eight copies of the sketch plan, along with any required supplemental

may request that the Municipal Engineer and/or legal consultant perform
a written review of the sketch plan, at the applicant's sole
cost and expense. In such case, the written review shall be provided
to the applicant with copies to Brecknock Township and the Brecknock
Township Planning Commission.

not be deemed to be an approval of any application or to vest any
rights in the applicant.

preliminary plan application is reviewed by the Board of Supervisors
or as part of the final plan application.
(2)
Failure to reject the conditions in writing by the applicant within
30 days after written notification by the filing of an appeal shall

Board of Supervisors' approval and certification.
(1)
Preliminary plan approval. Approval of a preliminary plan application
shall constitute approval of the proposed subdivision and/or land

facilities but shall not constitute final plan approval. The preliminary
plan may not be recorded in the office of the Lancaster County Recorder
of Deeds.
(2)
Time period of approval. Preliminary plan approval will be effective
for a five-year period from the date of the Board of Supervisors'
approval of the preliminary plan application; therefore, construction
of a project must be substantially completed within five years of
said date, unless the Board of Supervisors grants a waiver by extending
the effective time period of the approval.
J.
Improvement construction from preliminary plan. In accordance with
the option as set forth in Section 509 of the PMPC[1] authorizing an applicant to complete construction of the
subdivision/land development improvements prior to approval and recording

with Brecknock Township of financial security to cover the costs of
such improvements, an applicant electing to do so shall meet the following
requirements:

An as-built plan will be required to be recorded as the final
plan after constructing improvements from each phase of a preliminary
