2. 
The separate stages of approval require the submission of sketch, preliminary, and final plans. These plans differ in their purpose and required level of detail. The table below indicates the required plans for the different types of submissions:

The review process for all applications required by the Township Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors shall be for no more than 90 days following the date of submission. The date of submission is the date of the regular meeting of the Township Planning Commission next following the date the submission is filed, provided that, should the said next regular meeting occur more than 30 days following the filing of the submission, the ninety-day period shall be measured from the 30th day following the day the submission is filed. The said ninety-day period may be extended upon the applicant's agreement to waive the ninety-day requirement. The presentation of a revised sketch, revised preliminary or revised final plan shall also be considered a separate submission.
4. 
The presentation of a preliminary plan and final plan shall each be considered a separate submission, and the maximum ninety-day review period may be required for each such plan.
5. 
Fees and escrow.
A. 
The submission of any subdivision and land development plans are subject to the Lower Southampton Township Fee Schedule, as modified from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Lower Southampton Township, to be used for Township costs of review, legal costs, and engineering costs related to the plans submitted. The amount of the refundable escrow fee shall be paid at the time of submission of any plans and may be used for the purposes defined in such resolution and the fee schedule. The applicant is required to maintain the original escrow deposit in the amount as indicated in the fee schedule. The Township shall require the applicant to post additional escrow in the event payments from such escrow reduce the amount below 20% of the original escrow deposit. The additional escrow amount shall be paid within 10 days of the request by the Township. The applicant shall agree at the time of the submission of the plans to the terms of this provision, including the understanding that the further review and approval of plans may be withheld pending the reimbursement of such escrow deposit to the Township. The applicant shall further agree that any such delays shall constitute an extension of time for the rendering of a decision by the Board of Supervisors.
B. 
The fee schedule adopted by resolution of the Board of Supervisors shall apply to the processing of lot line change plans, minor subdivision plans, major subdivision plans, land development plans, and all other plans processed by the Township as indicated in the fee schedule.
C. 
When a set of plans is presented to the Licenses and Inspections Department pursuant to the procedures set forth within this chapter, the applicant shall deposit with the Licenses and Inspections Director a sum to cover the cost of processing the plan according to a schedule as from time to time approved by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.
D. 
If the escrow deposit is expended, the applicant shall make further deposits upon notice from the Licenses and Inspections Department in such a manner that the total deposit with the Township shall at all times equal the initial amount as determined by the Licenses and Inspections Department until approval of the plans and final acceptance of construction by Lower Southampton Township.

Occupancy permits shall be withheld until all fees and costs have been paid to the Township in connection with the processing of any plans.
[Ord. 559, 9/4/2012]

The purpose of the sketch plan is to afford the applicant the opportunity to consult early and informally with both the Lower Southampton Township and the Bucks County Planning Commissions before preparation of the preliminary or final plan and formal application for approval.
2.

The Sketch plan procedure also affords the planning commissions the opportunity to give informal guidance to the applicant at a stage when potential points of difference can be more easily resolved. It can also simplify official actions and save unnecessary expense and delay.
