Where the Township Board of Supervisors finds that extraordinary hardships may result from strict compliance with these regulations, it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such variation will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan or these regulations.
In granting waivers, the Board of Supervisors may require such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so varied or waived.
A. 
The owner shall reimburse the Township for engineering and legal fees incurred for services performed during the approval of each subdivision or development or section thereof and for the waiver of land development plan approval process.
B. 
The engineering and legal fees required to be reimbursed by this article shall be promptly reimbursed to the Township by the owner, upon the submission of bills therefor to the owner by the Township from time to time, as such fees are billed to the Township by its or their engineers or attorneys.
C. 
In regard to the engineering and legal fees escrow required to be paid to the Township by this article, the developer shall pay 10% of the sum escrowed, as reimbursement to the Township of the costs incurred by the Township for the collection of such fees and the disbursement of the same to the Township Engineer and Township Solicitor to cover administrative expenses.
D. 
A deposit in accordance with § 191-13 shall be required at the time of submission of the preliminary plans in order to cover engineering and legal fees incurred during review and approval of subdivision or land development plans.
A. 
Three days prior to the commencement of any operation in the construction or installation of streets, curbs, sidewalks, drainage facilities, street signs, fire hydrants, streetlights, monuments, water and sewer mains and capped sewers, the developer shall notify the Township Engineer, who shall inspect the work, materials, construction and installation for compliance with Township requirements.
B. 
The Township Engineer shall be authorized to have such tests of materials made as are provided in the Falls Township Design Standards, in order to have proper control of materials. The developer shall be responsible for reimbursement to the Township for the cost of any required testing.
It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent that:
A. 
If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision of this chapter to be invalid or ineffective in whole or in part, the effect of such decision shall be limited to those provisions which are expressly stated in the decision to be invalid or ineffective, and all other provisions of this chapter shall continue to be separately and fully effective.
B. 
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the application of any provision or provisions of this chapter to any lot, building or other structure or tract of land to be invalid or ineffective in whole or in part, the effect of such decision shall be limited to the person, property or situation immediately involved in the controversy, and the application of any such provision to other persons, property or situations shall not be affected.
Amendments to these subdivision and land development regulations shall only be enacted as provided in Section 505 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, as same now exists or as hereafter amended.
In any case where the Board of Supervisors determines, pursuant to § 191-14H, 191-18G or 191-22G, that a preliminary plan or final plan does not meet the required objectives and requirements or otherwise disapproves of a preliminary plan or final plan, the applicant may appeal from such determination or disapproval in the manner prescribed by the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, as same now exists or as hereafter amended. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days after the date of such determination or disapproval, or if no determination is made, 30 days after the date by which a determination was required to be made by these regulations.
A. 
A person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by this Township, pay judgment of not more than $600, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by this Township as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the District Justice. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Township shall proceed to enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless the District Justice, determining that there has been a violation further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation violating this chapter to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation by the District Justice, and thereafter each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
B. 
This Township may refuse to issue any permit or grant any approval necessary to further improve or develop any real property which has been developed or which has resulted from a subdivision of real property in violation of any provision of this chapter. Such denial of a permit or approval shall apply to any of the following applicants:
(1) 
The owner of record at the time of such violation.
(2) 
The vendee or lessee of the owner of record at the time of such violation, without regard as to whether such current owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the violation.
(3) 
The current owner of record who acquired the property subsequent to the time of violation, without regard as to whether such current owner had actual or conservative knowledge of the violation.
(4) 
The vendee or lessee of the current owner of record who acquired the property subsequent to the time of violation without regard as to whether such vendee or lessee had actual or constructive knowledge of the violation.
C. 
In addition to the foregoing, this Township may impose as an additional condition for issuance of a permit with a granting of an approval pursuant to this chapter to such owner, current owner, vendee or lessee for the development of any such real property, compliance with the conditions that would have been applicable to the property at the time that the applicant acquired an interest in such real property.
D. 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Township retains the right, in addition, to pursue other remedies provided in this section to institute and maintain appropriate actions by law or equity to restrain, correct or abate violations, to prevent unlawful construction, to recover damages and to prevent illegal occupancy of a building, structure or premises. The description by metes and bounds in the instrument of the transferor or other documents used in the process of selling or transferring shall not exempt the seller or transferor from such penalties or from the remedies herein provided.
