A. 
Prior to adoption of the Official Map or part thereof, or any amendments to the Official Map, Manheim Township shall refer the proposed Official Map, or part thereof or amendment thereto, with any accompanying ordinance describing the proposed map, to the Manheim Township Planning Commission, the Lancaster County Planning Commission and the Lancaster Intermunicipal Committee for review. The Manheim Township Planning Commission shall report their recommendations on said proposed Official Map and accompanying ordinance, part thereof, or amendment thereto within 45 days unless an extension of time shall be agreed to by the Board of Commissioners. If, however, the Manheim Township Planning Commission fails to act within 45 days, the Board of Commissioners may proceed without its recommendation.
B. 
Lancaster County and adjacent municipalities may offer comments and recommendations during said forty-five-day review period in accordance with Section 408 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. The Manheim Township Recreation and Park Planning Department and similar public bodies may also offer comments and recommendations to the Board of Commissioners or Planning Commission if requested by same during said forty-five-day review period. Before voting on the enactment of the proposed ordinance and Official Map, or part thereof or amendment thereto, the Board of Commissioners shall hold a public hearing pursuant to public notice.
C. 
Following adoption of the ordinance and Official Map, or part thereof, a copy of the same, verified by the Board of Commissioners, shall be submitted to the Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds and shall be recorded within 60 days of the effective date. The fee for recording and indexing ordinances and amendments shall be paid by Manheim Township enacting the ordinance or amendment and shall be in the amount prescribed by law for the recording of ordinances by the Recorder of Deeds.
Following adoption of the Official Map, or part thereof, all streets, improvements, open space, pathways, greenways, watercourses, bus shelters or other public grounds and the elements listed in Section 401 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code on final, recorded plats which have been approved as provided by this chapter shall be deemed amendments to the Official Map. Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this article, no public hearing need be held or notice given if the amendment of the Official Map is the result of the addition of a plat which has been approved as provided by this chapter.
