[Amended 4-3-2018 by 2018-1; 7-11-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-05]
Any subdivision or land development plan that qualifies as a minor plan according to the criteria of §
260-15A shall be required to comply with all applicable standards of Article
VI, Preliminary Plans, and Article
VII, Final Record Plans. By meeting both preliminary and final plan requirements, the subdivider or developer (applicant) may combine the separate preliminary and final plan submittals into one submittal. All minor plans shall include the designation "Minor Subdivision Plan" or "Minor Land Development Plan," and shall be submitted on a sheet sized no larger than 24 inches by 36 inches.
A. Lot additions. Minor plans proposing a lot addition(s) to be transferred
to an adjacent landowner(s) shall comply with the following:
(1) The person(s) to whom the lot addition will be transferred shall
sign and have properly notarized a statement, which shall be placed
on the plan sheet, affirming his intent to acquire the property.
(2) If a lot addition does not meet the minimum requirements of this
chapter pertaining to area, width and depth, or required street frontage,
the following note shall be placed on the plan sheet: "The lot addition
shown hereon (Lot _____) does not meet the minimum requirements for
a building lot in North Newton Township and, therefore, cannot by
itself be sold, transferred or otherwise used for the construction
of a dwelling unit(s), or for other land development."
(3) Any lot addition which, by itself, is substandard as a building lot
in area, width or depth shall, upon plan approval by the Board of
Supervisors, be incorporated with adjacent lands by deed, such that
the lot addition is no longer a separate tract of land. Evidence of
compliance with this requirement shall be furnished by the purchaser
of the lot addition upon request by the Township.
(4) If a lot addition which does not meet the minimum requirements of
this chapter pertaining to area, width, and depth is being added to
an existing substandard lot, then the two tracts shall be incorporated
into one by a consolidation deed. The developer shall provide the
Township with a copy of the consolidation deed upon having it recorded.
