Applicants submitting a final plan shall conform to the following standards:

A. 

Record plan (final subdivision plan).

(1) 

Drafting standards. The same standards shall be required for a record plan as for a preliminary plan, and, in addition, for recording purposes, all lettering and lines shall be drawn so as to still be legible should the plan be reduced to half size.

(2) 

Information to be shown. The plan, which shall include all portions of an approved preliminary plan, shall also show:

(a) 

Courses and distances sufficient for the legal description of all the lines shown on the plan. The error of closure shall not be greater than one part of 10,000.

(b) 

The location, material and size of all monuments.

(d) 

Evidence shall be provided that the plans are in conformance with Chapter 143, Zoning, and other applicable Township ordinances and regulations. In any instance where such plans do not conform, a notation on the plan shall identify the special exceptions or variances that have been officially authorized.

When only a portion of the tract is being reviewed relative to the subdivision or land development but where future subdivision or development is imminent, the applicant shall demonstrate that the remainder of the tract or parcel may be subdivided or developed in conformance with the existing zoning classification of land use in a logical and satisfied manner, as a condition of approval of his plan; such plans for future subdivision or land development shall not be made a part of the record plan.
