Before submission of the preliminary plan by the developer,
certain maps and materials may be submitted by the developer to the
Borough for a feasibility review. This material will enable the Borough
to determine the potential of the proposed subdivision or land development
tract for development and the general feasibility of the developer's
plans for the tract. If a feasibility review is desired by developer,
developer's submission shall include the following maps and materials:
A. A key map, for the purpose of locating the property being subdivided,
drawn at a scale not smaller than one inch equals 1,000 feet and showing
the relation of the property, differentiated by tone or pattern, to
adjoining property and to all streets, roads, zoning districts and
municipal boundaries existing within 2,000 feet of any part of the
property. The key map may be based on USGS quad sheet maps.
B. A map illustrating an analysis of natural drainage patterns and water
resources within the proposed subdivision tract, including delineation
of streams, natural drainage swales, ponds and lakes, wetlands, floodplains
subject to a one-hundred-year flood frequency, and permanent and seasonal
high water table areas. The map shall be based on USGS quad sheets,
County Soil Survey Maps, and the flood boundary and floodway map from
the Bath Borough Flood Insurance Study where applicable.
C. A map illustrating an analysis of types of soils present within the
proposed subdivision tract. The map should include delineation of
prime agricultural soil areas, soils with shallow depth to bedrock,
soils most susceptible to erosion, soils most suitable for on-lot
sewage disposal. The map shall be based on the County Soil Survey.
D. A topographic map of the site based on USGS quad sheets.
E. A map delineating additional significant physical features within
the proposed subdivision tract, such as woodland areas, large trees,
rock outcroppings and scenic views. The map shall be based on USGS
quad sheets and on-site survey work.
F. Where feasible and legible, the analysis involved in Subsections
A through
E may be illustrated on one or a combination of composite maps. The combined impact of the natural characteristics upon the development potential of the tract shall be clearly illustrated on the map or maps.
G. A letter of intent and a sketch of the proposed subdivision or land development at a scale of one inch equals 100 feet explaining and illustrating the developer's general development concepts for the tract. The type of development, density of development, form of ownership, circulation patterns and means of providing major utility service should be explained and illustrated. The sketch may be based on deed and Tax Map information. Where possible, the information required by Subsections
A through
F should be shown on the sketch.
