Sketch plans are not required by this chapter
but it is recommended that the subdivider submit such a plan in order
to establish, at an early stage in the planning of the subdivision
or land development, the basic conditions required for the approval
of a preliminary and a final plan.
After a plat has been approved and recorded
as provided in this chapter, all streets and public grounds on such
plat shall be, and become a part of the Official Map of the Borough
without public hearing.
A simplified procedure for the submission and approval of subdivision, and development plans may be utilized whenever the subdivider of a small subdivision and land development (defined as three lots or less or less than three acres in size and not involving the provision of any new streets, easements for access or other public improvements) elects to omit the preliminary plan application review set forth above. In such a case the subdivider shall submit the final plan application which shall be processed in accordance with the requirements of §
390-8. Said final plan application, if it does not require any alteration or modification, may be approved by the Planning Commission and the Borough Council. However, in the event that a modification or condition for approval is required, as determined by the Commission, then the plan shall be considered to be a preliminary plan and a new final plan application incorporating the required conditions or modifications shall be submitted.
The following are exempt or partially exempt
from the provisions of this chapter:
A. The conversion of an existing single-family detached
dwelling or singl- family semidetached dwelling into not more than
three residential units, unless such units are intended to be a condominium;
B. The addition of an accessory building, including farm
buildings, on a lot or lots subordinate to an existing principal building;
or
C. The addition or conversion of buildings or rides with
the confines of an enterprise which would be considered an amusement
park. For purposes of this subsection, an "amusement park" is defined
as a tract or area used principally as a location for permanent amusement
structures or rides. This exclusion shall not apply to newly acquired
acreage by an amusement park until initial plans for the expanded
area have been approved by proper authorities.
D. Lot consolidation and/or reverse subdivision provided the applicant/developer comply with the requirements set forth in §
390-21.1.
