[Ord. 190 (71-4), 10/14/1971, Article 400, § 401]
The final responsibility of the improvements required by this
Chapter shall lie with the subdivider. Upon installation of these
improvements by the subdivider and subsequent inspection by the registered
professional engineer retained by the Borough, the subdivider shall
take final step to dedicate these improvements and have them accepted
by Glen Rock Borough.
[Ord. 190 (71-4), 10/14/1971, Article 400, § 402]
1.
Recording the final plan after approval of the Borough Council has
the effect of an irrevocable offer to:
[Ord. 190 (71-4), 10/14/1971, Article 400, § 403]
The offer to dedicate streets, parks or other areas or portions
of them, does not impose any duty upon the Borough concerning maintenance
or improvement until the proper authorities of the Borough have made
actual appropriation by ordinance or resolution or by entry or improvement.
If land is dedicated for a public site and its use for this purpose
is not imminent, the subdivider may be permitted to dedicate the land
with the privilege of using the surface rights until the Borough is
ready to use the land. Such dedication with the temporary privilege
of use must be noted on the final plan.
[Ord. 190 (71-4), 10/4/1971, Article 400, § 404]
On sites reserved to eventual public acquisition, no building
development is permitted during the period of reservation. The Borough
may require the reservation of such sites in addition to or in lieu
of land to be dedicated for public use. The reservation period must
not be longer than 18 months unless with the consent of the subdivider.
Land so reserved must be indicated on the final plan.
[Ord. 190 (71-4), 10/14/1971, Article 400, § 405;
as amended by Ord. 337 (92-4), 5/6/1992, § 12]
After the Borough Council accepts dedication of all or some
of the required improvements following completion, the Borough Council
shall require the posting of financial security to secure structural
integrity of said improvements as well as the functioning of said
improvements in accordance with the design and specifications as depicted
on the final plan for a term not to exceed 18 months from the date
of dedication. Said financial security shall be of the same type as
otherwise required by this Chapter with regard to installation of
such improvements. The amount of the financial security shall not
exceed 15% of the actual cost of installation of said improvements.
[Ord. 190 (71-4), 10/14/1971, Article 400, § 406;
as amended by Ord. 337 (92-4), 5/6/1992, § 13; by Ord. 463
(2009-05, § 1); and by Ord. 490 (2017-05), 10/18/2017]
1.
The applicant or developer shall dedicate land to the Borough or
reserve land for private recreation facilities that will be permanently
devoted to recreation and adequately secured for such use, construct
recreation facilities, pay a fee in lieu of such dedication or construction,
or some combination thereof for park or recreation purposes, in accordance
with the following standards:
A.
The land to be dedicated or reserved must be suitable size, dimensions,
topography, access and general character for the purpose use and must
be located in an area identified in the Southern York County (SYC)
Region Comprehensive Plan or any other municipal or regional Comprehensive
Plan in effect as having a need for additional recreation facilities.
B.
The amount of land to be dedicated or reserved shall be as follows:
|
Dwelling Units or Lots Shown on Plan
|
Land to be Dedicated
| |
|---|---|---|
|
1 to 25
|
0.02 acres per lot
| |
|
26 to 50
|
1 acre
| |
|
51 to 75
|
2 acres
| |
|
76 to 100
|
3 acres
| |
|
101 to 150
|
4 acres
|
C.
Where the application of the area standards of Subsection 1B would
result in a site too small to be usable, or where there is not an
identified need for additional land for recreation purposes in the
area of the Borough in which the subdivision or development is located
or where the applicant and Borough Council agree for any other reason,
the applicant or developer shall pay to Glen Rock Borough a fee per
lot or per unit established annually by resolution of the Borough
Council for the purpose of providing park or recreational facilities
accessible to the development. In lieu of such fees, the applicant
and the Borough Council may agree that the applicant will construct
recreational facilities at an existing Borough recreation site accessible
to the development. The applicant and the Borough Council may also
agree in a written agreement upon any combination of dedication of
site, construction of facilities and/or payment of a fee that will
meet the intent of the Southern York County (SYC) Region Comprehensive
Plan or any other municipal or regional Comprehensive Plan in effect
and this Chapter.
D.
The fee in lieu of dedication or facilities to be constructed shall
be substantially equal in value to the value of the land that would
be dedicated if the standards of Subsection 1B of this Section were
applied and shall be based on the prevailing average value of development
land in the Borough.
E.
A fee established by this Section shall be paid to Glen Rock Borough
prior to the recording of the final plan. Such fee shall be deposited
in an interest-bearing account clearly identifying the facilities
for which said fee was reserved. Interest earned on such accounts
shall become funds of that account. Funds from such accounts shall
be expended only in properly allocable proportions of the cost incurred
to construct the specific recreation facilities or improvements to
existing facilities for which the funds were collected.
[Ord. 190 (71-4), 10/14/1971, Article 400, § 407]

restrictions.
C.

such a private site will be adequately equipped and maintained.
