This chapter is adopted for the following purposes:
A. 
To accomplish the orderly, efficient and coordinated development of the Borough.

To protect and promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the residents of the Borough.

[Ord. 428, 12/11/1991, § 103]
No subdivision or land development of any lot, tract or parcel of land shall be made, no street, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main or other improvements in connection therewith shall be laid out, constructed, opened or dedicated for public use or travel, or for the common use of occupants of buildings abutting thereon, except in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
[Ord. 428, 12/11/1991, § 104]
1. 
Where, because of peculiar conditions, a literal enforcement of this chapter would exact undue hardship pertaining to the land in question, the Borough Council may grant a modification thereto, provided such modification is not contrary to the public interest; and, provided further; that the purpose and intent of this chapter is observed.
2. 
For purposes of encouraging flexibility, economy and ingenuity in subdivision and land developments and where a literal enforcement of this chapter would result in undue hardship, or be contrary to demonstrated modern and evolving principles of site planning and development, the Borough Council may, after application to, and review and recommendation by the Planning Commission, make such reasonable exceptions to the effects of this chapter as will not be contrary to the public interest; as will not be contrary to the purpose and intent of this chapter; which will be in accord with sound planning practices; and which will provide for equal or better results. In making such exceptions, the Council may impose reasonable conditions and obligations upon the applicant necessary to insure that the objectives of this chapter are met.
3. 
A subdivision of any property into no more than two lots may be approved without meeting the requirements of § 22-305.
[Ord. 428, 12/11/1991, § 105]
Whenever there is a difference between minimum standards or dimensions specified herein and those contained in other regulations, resolutions or ordinances of the Borough, the most restrictive standards shall apply.
[Ord. 428, 12/11/1991, § 106]
The grant of a permit or approval of a subdivision and/or land development plan shall not constitute a representation, guarantee, or warranty of any kind by the Borough or by any official, agent or employee thereof as to the advisability or practicability of the proposed use nor shall any such approval represent any guarantee or warranty as to the accuracy of the information provided by a developer. Approval of a plan shall create no liability upon the Borough, its officials, agents or employees.

1. 
All plats containing or having located thereon streets, roads, highways, alleys, rights-of-way or other easements, either public or private, shall contain either or both of the following notices:
A. 
All plats containing or having thereon any private street shall have conspicuously placed upon said plat the following notice:
(1) 
Notice to all lessees, purchasers, owners, their heirs, administrators, successors and assigns. This is to notify all prospective lessees, purchasers, owners, their heirs, administrators, successors and assigns that the street shown on said plan is a private road, and the Borough of Manor shall not be responsible for any construction, improvement, maintenance or repair of said private road.
(2) 
All plats containing or having thereon any street, road, highway, alley, right-of-way or easement dedicated to the public or intended for public use shall have conspicuously placed upon said plat the following notice:
"The approval of this plat by the Borough of Manor does not constitute an acceptance of the dedication of any street, road, highway, alley or its right-of-way, nor any sanitary or storm sewer system, or its appurtenances, nor any water mains or appurtenances, nor the easements for the same. Likewise, the approval of this plat by the Borough of Manor shall not impose any duty upon the Borough for the construction, improvement, maintenance or repair of any such streets, roads, highways, alleys, sanitary or storm sewers, or water mains. The requirement remains with the subdivider, developer and/or the owner or lessee of the land to ensure that all such public improvements shown on this plan are in fact, made in accordance with these plans, the Manor Borough Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, and in accordance with other applicable Borough, state, or federal regulations. In addition, approval of this subdivision plan by the Borough of Manor shall not constitute a waiver of any right on the part of the Borough of Manor and/or on the part of any other agency or authority to make, charge and assess properties within this subdivision or land development for municipal improvements and file any municipal claims and liens for the same, or otherwise collect the cost of the same as provided by law."
[Ord. 428, 12/11/1991, § 108]
The provisions of this chapter, insofar as they are the same as those of the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance in effect immediately prior to the enactment of this chapter, are intended as, and shall be construed as, a continuation of such provisions.
