1.
In the event the development plan as submitted contains variations
from the development plan given tentative approval, the Board of Supervisors
may refuse to grant final approval and shall, within 45 days from
the filing of the application for final approval, so advise the landowner
in writing of said refusal, setting forth in said notice the reasons
why one or more of said variations are not in the public interest.
In the event of such refusal, the landowner may either:
A.
Refile his application for final approval without the variations
objected; or
B.
File a written request with the Board of Supervisors that it hold
a public hearing on his application for final approval. If the landowner
wishes to take either such alternate action, he may do so at any time
within which he shall be entitled to apply for final approval, or
within 30 additional days if the time for applying for final approval
shall have already passed at the time when the landowner was advised
that the development plan was not in substantial compliance. In the
event the landowner shall fail to take either of these alternate actions
within said time, he shall be deemed to have abandoned the development
plan. Any such public hearing shall be held pursuant to public notice
within 30 days after request for the hearing is made by the landowner,
and the hearing shall be conducted in the manner prescribed in this
Part for public hearings on applications for tentative approval. Within
30 days after the conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Supervisors
shall by official written communication either grant final approval
to the development plan or deny final approval. The grant or denial
of final approval of the development plan shall, in cases arising
under this section, be in the form of and contain the findings required
for an application for tentative approval set forth in this chapter.
[Ord. 2-80, 11/17/1980; as added by Ord. 91-4, 9/3/1991]
In the event the application for final approval has been filed,
together with all drawings, specifications and other documents in
support thereof, and as required by this chapter and the official
written communication of tentative approval, the Township of Richmond
shall, within 45 days of such filing, grant such development plan
final approval.
[Ord. 2-80, 11/17/1980; as added by Ord. 91-4, 9/3/1991]
A development plan, or any part thereof, which has been given
final approval shall be so certified without delay by the Board of
Supervisors and shall be filed of record forthwith in the Office of
the Recorder of Deeds before any development shall take place in accordance
therewith. Upon the filing of record of the development plan the zoning
and subdivision regulations otherwise applicable to the land included
in such plan shall cease to apply thereto. Pending completion within
a reasonable time of said planned residential development or of that
part thereof, as the case may be, that has been finally approved,
no modification of the provisions of said development plan, or part
thereof, as finally approved, shall be made except with the consent
of the landowner.
[Ord. 2-80, 11/17/1980; as added by Ord. 91-4, 9/3/1991]
In the event that a development plan, or a section thereof,
is given final approval and thereafter the landowner shall abandon
such plan or the section thereof that has been finally approved, and
shall so notify the Board of Supervisors in writing; or, in the event
the landowner shall fail to commence and carry out the planned residential
development within such reasonable period of time as may be fixed
by ordinance after final approval has been granted, no development
or further development shall take place on the property included in
the development plan until after the said property is re-subdivided
and is reclassified by enactment of an amendment to this chapter.
