§ 123-27. Modifications; referral of plans; dedication of land.

A. 

The standards of design in this article shall be used to judge the adequacy of subdivision proposals. Whenever the literal application of these standards would cause undue hardship or be contrary to current site planning practices, the Township Planning Commission may recommend such reasonable modifications to the Township Board of Supervisors as will not be contrary to public interests.

B. 

In reviewing subdivision or land development plans, the governing body shall refer such plans to the Township Planning Commission, Township Engineer and Montgomery County Planning Commission and any other agencies as may be appropriate for recommendations concerning the adequacy of existing and proposed community facilities to serve the additional uses proposed by the subdivision or land development.

C. 

Subdividers are requested to give careful consideration to the desirability of providing adequate rights-of-way and paving on existing streets and reserving areas and easements for facilities normally required in residential areas, including libraries, schools and other public buildings; parks, playgrounds and playfields; and sanitary sewer facilities in those areas that cannot be immediately joined to the existing stormwater, water and sanitary sewer systems of the Township.

D. 

Areas provided or reserved for such community facilities should be adequate to provide for building sites, landscaping and off-street parking as appropriate to the use proposed. The Board of Supervisors reserves the right to accept or refuse officers of dedication for public use.
