for tentative or preliminary approval.
The application for master plan approval shall be filed with
the Borough Manager or his designated representative in not less than
eight copies and shall be accompanied by a fee as may from time to
time be determined by the Council. It shall include the following
documents.

conditions within the contiguous property and within 100 feet of the
tract, including the following:

(13)
The types, numbers and approximate locations of incidental recreational
facilities in each phase;
(14)
The approximate boundary of each area within each phase in which
one type of dwelling or one uniform mixture of types of dwellings
will be located, and the proposed types and numbers of dwellings in
each area;
(15)
The proposed amounts of common open space and undisturbed open
space in each phase; and
(16)
The proposed type of development procedure for each area within
the tract (conventional zoning, density development or planned residential
development), the boundary of each area to which each procedure applies,
and the size of each area within each phase.
B.
If all or any portion of the land development is a planned residential
development, a statement by the developer setting forth reasons why,
in his opinion, the planned residential development would be in the
public interest and would be consistent with the Borough Plan.
D.
Any additional documents that the developer may feel are necessary
to explain the character and benefits of the proposed land development.
A.
Tentative or preliminary action upon the plan for a portion of contiguous
properties must include specific, express action upon the master plan
for all contiguous properties.
B.
If a master plan receives approval, the status of the master plan
shall be as follows:
(1)
The approval shall be noted on the Zoning Map;
(2)
The approval shall not qualify the master plan for recording, nor
shall it authorize development or the issuance of any building permits;
(3)
The master plan shall not be modified, revoked or otherwise impaired
by action of the Borough pending an application or applications for
tentative approval of one or more planned residential development
plans or for approval of one or more preliminary plats of subdivision
on the balance of the property shown on the master plan;
(4)
The application or applications discussed in Subsection B(3) immediately above shall be consistent with the tentatively or preliminarily approved master plan and with conditions on such approval (if any), and such applications shall be entitled to tentative or preliminary approval themselves if they are consistent with the master plan and with requirements for tentative or preliminary approval contained in Borough ordinances, which requirements go beyond features shown on the master plan.
