Final plan requirements

A. The original of the subdivision plan submitted for final approval and subsequent recording shall be clear and legible, reproducible Mylar or comparable quality sheets. If the final plan is drawn in two or more sections or phases, it shall be accompanied by a key map showing the location of several sections of phases. The owner or his/her agent shall supply the Board of Supervisors with three Mylars and eight blue and white prints of the subdivision or land development plan before all signatures have been affixed.

B. The final plan shall show or be accompanied by the following information:
(1) Proposed subdivision name or identifying title: the name of the municipality(ies) within which the plan is located.
(2) The name and address of the owner and subdivider, and the name, license number and seat of the registered professional engineer, surveyor or architect.
(3) Scale, date, north point, and graphic scale.
(4) Total acreage and total number of lots.
(5) The names of adjoining subdivisions, if any, and the book and page where recorded; and the names of owners of all adjacent unplatted land.
(6) A key map for the purpose of locating the site to be subdivided or developed at a scale of not less than 2,000 feet to one inch showing the relation of the property to adjoining property and to all streets, roads and municipal boundaries existing within 4,000 feet of any part of the property proposed to be subdivided. (The latest, current, appropriate USGS Quadrangle Map may be used as a base even though these may be at other than the above scale.)
(7) The full plan of subdivision or development, including tract boundaries, street lines, lot lines, building lines, pedestrian ways, easements and open spaces. Any limitations of the easements shall be noted on the plan. The total acreage of recreation and/or open space shall be shown and noted.
(8) Any existing public lands, all open spaces for which offers of dedication are included to the Township and all other areas to which title is reserved by the owner.
(9) Sufficient data acceptable to the Township Engineer to readily determine the location, bearing and length of every boundary line (a field survey to be closed with an error not to exceed one in 5,000 and balanced), street line and lot line, and to reproduce such lines upon the ground. All dimensions shall be shown in feet or hundredths of a foot and bearings shown to 10 seconds of an arc.
(10) Lots numbered in consecutive order and names of streets.
(11) Permanent reference monuments shall be shown on the plan and shall be constructed in accordance with the specifications of this chapter.
(12) For residential development, a typical lot-grading plan shall accompany the final plan and be a part of it. For all other developments, existing and final contours shall be shown.
(13) A detailed landscaping plan shall be submitted which shows the location of street trees and the treatment of buffer strips where applicable.
(14) A utility plan will also be submitted showing how the utilities will be installed and in accordance with existing Township regulations.
(15) A drainage study and stormwater drainage plan with standard construction details shall accompany final plans and be a part of the recorded plans. Drainage shall comply with § 135-22.
(16) A plan of recommended areas for locating individual wells, septic tanks and subsurface disposal areas for each lot to be subdivided or a plan of centralized water and sewer facilities. This applies to public or private water and sewer systems.
(17) For all streets, complete street profile plans with old ground elevations and finished center line grades indicated at fifty-foot stations together with all vertical curve data shall accompany the final plan.
(18) All construction improvement standards, such as typical road sections, typical channel sections, detention or retention basins, special designs of structures, bridges and headwalls and street index listings shall appear on the appropriate drawings.
(19) Copies of any proposed deed restriction and protective and restrictive covenants. See § 135-20I.
(20) All plan sheets comprising the set of final plans shall be consecutively numbered as sheet 1 of 1, or 1 of 2, or 2 of 2, etc.
(21) The set of plans shall be neatly bound on the left or top to make the book of drawings.
(22) Appropriate approval blocks for the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission members of accepted type shall appear on the first sheet and title sheet of the set of plans. The Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission will sign three sets of reproducible drawings on Mylar or comparable material after the plan is approved and all conditions and financial securities have been completed.
(23) All final plans shall include any other federal or state permits that are required for development. This included but is not limited in the state of Pennsylvania to an erosion and sedimentation plan approval from Monroe County, PennDOT permit and DEP permits. If a permit from any other county, state or federal regulatory agency, which does have jurisdiction, cannot be obtained prior to final plan approval, the Board of Supervisors may grant conditional approval of the plan pending a copy of the appropriate permit filed with the Township prior to recording the final plan.
(24) Elevations and floor plans may be required by the Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors prior to approval of the final plans.
 
C. The Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission shall require that the final plan shall allow for the proper sequence or phasing of development of the preliminary plan by requiring that improvements be developed simultaneously with the lots they serve in order to provide adequate traffic circulation, fire protection, drainage, sewage, water or other requirements as per this chapter.
