This chapter shall be known as the "Allegheny Township Subdivision
and Land Development Ordinance."
The purpose of this chapter establishing the Allegheny Township
Subdivision and Land Development Regulations is to promote efficient,
logical, orderly and compatible future development of the Township
of Allegheny. This chapter includes consideration for open spaces,
for preservation of the natural beauty and the topography of the Township
and for the prevention of pollution of air, streams and ponds. This
chapter promotes the health, safety and general welfare of the Township
and, finally, ensures the integration of all subdivision plans into
the overall elements of the Comprehensive Plan for Allegheny Township.
The Allegheny Township Planning Commission shall have authority
to review applications for and recommend decisions on subdivision
of land located within the Township limits, subject to the approval
of the Allegheny Township Board of Supervisors. Every plan, plot and
replot of land laid out in building lots and the streets, highways,
alleys, or other portions of the same intended to be dedicated to
public use or use by purchasers or owners of lots located within the
Township limits, shall be submitted to the Allegheny Township Planning
Commission for review, subject to final approval or disapproval by
the Allegheny Township Board of Supervisors, before the same shall
be recorded.
