For the acquisition of lands and easements, boundary descriptions by metes and bounds shall be made and sealed by a licensed surveyor, registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
3. 
Size and Location of Reservations. The size and location of a reservation shall be determined as follows:
A. 
Reservations shown on the Official Map which are shown as constituting an entire property shall be the same size and the same location as that of the property designated on the Official Map.

Reservations shown on the Official Map which are shown as constituting only a portion of a property shall be sized and located based on the approximate size and location of the designation as shown on the Official Map.
C. 
Reservations shown on the Official Map as corridors or rights-of-way, such as bicycle or pedestrian ways or streets, shall be of a sufficient width to allow for the designated purposes. Bicycle and pedestrian ways shall be at least five feet wide for pedestrian ways or 10 feet wide for off-street bicycle ways, plus a buffer on both sides of the path which would amount to a twenty-foot wide easement or right-of-way.

At the Board of Supervisors’ discretion, the size and/or location may deviate from the requirements listed above if the Board determines that the new size and/or location will allow sufficient size and access for the proposed public use and that new size and/or location will meet the intent of the reservation.
