Classification of a proposed subdivision as a minor subdivision
permits the developer and Township to utilize a simplified procedure
for reviewing such subdivision prior to approval for recording.
Sketch plan. The applicant should prepare and submit a sketch plan of the proposed subdivision, and the Planning Commission shall review the submission in accordance with §§ 175-19 and 175-20 of this chapter.
Final plan. The applicant shall submit a proper application for a final plan. Such plan shall be submitted and reviewed in accordance with the procedures in § 175-28 of this chapter.
Revised/resubmitted plans. Revisions to submitted plans shall be
coordinated with the Township Engineer's comment letter. Revisions
shall be "bubbled" and "highlighted" and denoted with the comment
letter's itemized comment number.
Plans shall be prepared, signed and sealed by a professional engineer,
professional land surveyor or landscape architect (performing within
their abilities as determined by their registration boards) on a standard
sheet of 24 inches by 36 inches or 30 inches by 42 inches, except
when the Planning Commission approves other size plans. Standard sheet
size shall be consistent throughout the entire plan set of the application.
If the developer is not an individual, then the developer's
principal officers and any person or entity holding an ownership interest
of 10% or more in the entity.
The name, address, signature, certification and seal of the licensed
professional responsible for the preparation of the plan to the Engineer's
statement. (See Appendix A.[2])
The location map shall show roads and parcels and zoning district
lines. The required scale of the map is not to be specified. The map
shall encompass an area of eight inches by eight inches centered around
the site. USAS maps shall not be used.
Slope of less than 15% may be accurately superimposed from the
latest USGS quadrangle map; however, the slope at any on-lot sewage
disposal site shall be shown as determined by field survey.
Sufficient bearings, lengths of lines, radii, arc lengths, street
widths, right-of-way and easement widths of all lots, streets, rights-of-way,
easements and community or public areas to accurately and completely
reproduce each and every course on the ground.
Rights-of-way, restrictive covenants and easements for all drainage,
utilities and other purposes which might affect development, with
designation of areas to be dedicated to the Township. All such easements
shall be defined by bearings and distances.
Sight distances shall be shown at the intersections of any proposed
street with existing streets. Sight distances shall be measured pursuant
to PennDOT requirements.
Additional information. The Planning Commission may require the submission
of any additional information, including items required for a major
subdivision.
A sketch to an appropriate scale, on one sheet covering the entire
tract, showing the location of the area to be subdivided together
with a sketch of any proposed roads to demonstrate that the proposed
subdivision provides for the orderly development of any residual lands
and/or does not adversely affect the residual lands.
Planning module. Three copies of the DEP Planning Module for Land
Development as required by Act 537 (the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities
Act), as amended,[4] shall be submitted.
