D. Initial actions by the staff.

(1) The staff shall review the submission items for completeness and shall report such review to the Commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

(2) The staff shall forward a copy of the final plan and supportive documents to the Township Engineer for review, prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Township Planning Commission.

If any portion of a major subdivision or land development would occur within 200 feet of the boundary of another municipality or would clearly have a regional impact upon a municipality, the staff should require an applicant to provide a copy of the layout plan that can be forwarded to that municipality for an advisory review.

E. Determination of completeness by Commission.

(1) Based upon the initial review of the Township staff and/or the Township Engineer, the Commission shall have authority, at its first regularly scheduled meeting after the submission is timely filed, to determine that a submission is significantly incomplete and therefore to refuse to review the submission further and to do one of the following:

(a) Not accept the submission, indicating the deficiencies, and return the fee (minus the costs of any Township review) to the applicant.

(b) Accept the submission as being filed for review on the condition that the applicant shall file such additional required materials and information to the staff or appropriate agency or person within a certain number of days from the date of such acceptance.

(c) Table the acceptance of the submission until the next Planning Commission meeting where the applicant has met all of the submittal requirements, and has filed such materials within the required 21 days prior to the meeting. The ninety-day time limit for action shall not begin until such acceptance.

(d) Recommend that the plan be rejected by the Board of Supervisors for just cause.

(2) If the Commission determines that the submission is significantly complete, as filed and as required, the Commission shall accept the plans and may begin its review.

(3) If the Commission determines that the final plan submission, as filed, departs substantially from the approved preliminary plan, the Commission may classify the submission as a revised preliminary plan (with the applicable review fees required) and process the application as such.

F. Review by Township Engineer.

(1) Within 45 days from the date the plans are duly submitted for review (unless granted an extension by the Commission or unless the plans are significantly incomplete), the Township Engineer should review the engineering considerations of the preliminary plan and prepare an initial report on such considerations to the Commission.

(b) Any such acceptance of dedication shall be specifically stated along with the signatures required for approval.

(3) Disapproval. When a final plan submission is disapproved, the decision shall specify defects found in the submission, shall describe requirements which have not been met and shall cite the provisions of the statute or ordinance relied upon in each case.

(4) Conditions. The Board of Supervisors may attach reasonable conditions to an approval to ensure the carrying out of the Comprehensive Plan, this chapter, other Township ordinances and State laws and regulations.

J. Development in stages.

(1) If requested by the applicant, the Board of Supervisors may permit the undertaking of the required improvements and the preparation of the final plan to be completed in a series of sections or stages, each covering a portion of the proposed subdivision as shown on the preliminary plan.

(2) If the final plan is to be filed in sections or stages, each section or stage shall relate logically to provide adequate vehicle access, well-functioning extension of utilities and sufficient amounts of any approved common open space.
