§ 123-12. Tentative sketch plan submission requirements.

A. 

Submission of tentative sketch plan. Tentative sketch plans may be submitted for informal discussion by a property owner or developer and the Township Planning Commission. The submission of a tentative sketch plan shall be optional and shall not be required and shall not constitute the submission of an application for approval of a subdivision or land development plan.

B. 

Number of copies of tentative sketch plan. In the event that a tentative sketch plan is submitted by a property owner or developer for informal discussions with the Township staff or Planning Commission, 20 copies should be submitted for distribution to the Township Engineer, Planning Commission, Board of Supervisors and the Montgomery County Planning Commission or Township Planner.

[Amended 9-21-2006 by Ord. No. 555]

C. 

Contents of tentative sketch plan. Tentative sketch plans should be drawn legibly, to scale, but not necessarily showing precise dimensions, and may show the following information:

(1) 

The name of the subdivision or land development and the name of the municipality.

(2) 

A location plan showing the subject tract and the surrounding road network, including a key map.

(3) 

The name and address of the owner, agent, engineer, surveyor and architect, as applicable.

(4) 

The tract boundary and location by deed plotting.

(5) 

A North point and scale.

(6) 

The existing and proposed road and lot (or structure) layout.

(7) 

Significant topographical and physical features, such as soils, floodplains, steep slopes (over 15%), woodlands and existing structures.

(8) 

Proposals for control of drainage runoff.

(9) 

Proposals for community facilities.

(10) 

Any additional information which the applicant believes will help explain the proposal. It is to the applicant's advantage to show as much of the above-listed information as possible. Although the Planning Commission will discuss any plan presented, a lack of significant information may result in little useful guidance to the applicant.
