The following procedures shall be observed by all subdividers.
[Amended 5-6-1970, by Ord. No. 10-1970]
General procedure.
A. A final plan with supporting data shall be submitted to the Commission
for final approval within one year after Commission action on the
preliminary plan, provided that an extension of time may be granted
by the Commission upon written request. Otherwise, the plan submitted
shall be considered as a new preliminary plan.
B. The final plan shall conform in all important respects with the preliminary
plan as previously reviewed by the Commission and shall incorporate
all modifications and revisions specified by the Commission in its
conditional approval of the preliminary plan. Otherwise, the plan
shall be considered as a revised preliminary plan.
C. The Commission may permit submission of the final plan in sections,
each covering a portion of the entire proposed subdivision as shown
on the preliminary plan.
D. The final plan and supporting data shall comply with the provisions of §§
425-29 and
425-30 of this chapter. Failure to do so shall be cause for tabling the plan.
E. Seven copies of the final plan with supporting data shall be submitted
to the Commission. The Commission Secretary shall transmit copies
of the plan to:
(1) Borough Council: two copies.
(2) Borough Engineer: one copy
(3) Westmoreland County Planning Commission: two copies.
F. Within 14 days after the meeting at which the final plan is reviewed,
the Commission shall notify the Council in writing of its approval
or disapproval. Reasons for disapproval shall be explicitly stated.
A copy of the said notification to Council shall be sent to the subdivider.
G. Upon receipt of the final plan from the Commission, the Council may
arrange for a public hearing after giving proper public notice or
may take final action on the plan at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Disapproval of the final plan by Council shall be by resolution, giving
the reasons therefor. Failure of the Council to take final action
on the plan within 30 days of receipt from the Commission shall constitute
Council approval of the plan.
H. When both the Planning Commission and the Council have approved the
final plan, the Borough Secretary and the Commission Secretary shall
endorse two copies of the final plan to that effect. One copy of the
endorsed final plan shall be kept in the Commission files and the
other returned to the subdivider.
I. The subdivider shall record the final plan in the office of the Recorder
of Deeds of Westmoreland County within 90 days after the date of approval
by the Borough Council. The copy of the final plan filed for recording
shall be clear and legible white print on linen, bearing the approval
of the Borough Planning Commission and the Borough Council.
