[Amended 10-16-1984 by Ord. No. 410]
Whenever any subdivision of land or land development is proposed, before any contract is made for the sale of any part thereof and before any permit for the erection of a structure in such proposed subdivision or land development shall be granted, the owner or his authorized agent shall apply for and secure approval of such proposed subdivision or land development in accordance with the following procedures for subdivisions and land development except as follows:
A. 
Nonconforming lot. Where any nonconforming lot of record may be brought nearer to conformity by the addition of adjacent land to it or any other existing lot of record may be increased in size and such addition shall not decrease the residue of lots from which it is taken below the standards set forth herein or thereby result in the creation of a new lot not already of record, the Council may, by letter, approve the recording of a deed establishing the portion of land being increased in size, which shall be shown on a simple sketch plan provided by the owner, without requiring that a formal subdivision plat be filed and recorded. In the event that such transfer of title shall affect more than one nonconforming lot and that more than one such lot may be brought nearer to conformity, the Council may approve a simple sketch plan showing the alterations in lot lines, which sketch plan may be recorded with the deed and copy thereof provided to the Council. There shall be no filing fee for the Borough's action in such cases.
The owner or his authorized agent must notify all owners of contiguous lots of his application described in the immediately preceding § 113-7. Such notice shall be given in writing 14 days prior to the official filing date described in the following § 113-9. Proof of such notice shall be submitted to the Planning Commission at the meeting of the Commission at which such application is first considered.
For the purpose of these regulations, the official filing date shall be the date of the regular meeting of the Planning Commission next following the date the application and plan are received in the Borough Office, provided that, should no such regular meeting occur more than 30 days following the submission of the application, the official filing date shall be the 30th day following the day the application has been submitted.
Upon receipt of an application for subdivision or land development approval, the Borough Manager shall affix to the application both the date of submittal and the official filing date.
A. 
Plan submission. The Borough shall, upon receipt of a preliminary plan of a proposed subdivision or land development, forward to the County Planning Commission two copies of each plat or plan received and one copy of all supporting documents required.
B. 
County review. The Allegheny County Planning Commission shall review the forwarded plans and submit a report advising the Borough of its recommendations within 45 days or within such further time as may be mutually agreed upon, to the extent permitted by law, between the County Planning Commission and the Borough. Such review shall be based on the applicable municipal regulations. The report shall consist of a written report containing the comments and recommendations of the County Planning Commission. A copy of the report shall be forwarded to the subdivider by the Borough.
A. 
All filing, inspection and engineering fees shall be submitted to the Borough Manager.
B. 
Plan filing fee. A filing fee shall accompany the preliminary plan. No application shall be accepted by the Borough Manager or acted upon unless payment is made to the Borough. The Council shall, by resolution, create a schedule of fees to be paid by the subdivider or land developer to defray the cost of administering and processing plans. The schedule of fees may be changed from time to time by resolution of the Council.
C. 
Inspection and engineering fees.

The applicant shall pay by check, payable to the Borough, an amount fairly determined by the Borough Manager sufficient to cover costs of the following items:
(a) 
Reviewing the plan's engineering details.
(b) 
Inspecting the layouts of the site for conformance to the survey and plan.
(c) 
Reviewing the results of the soils test.
(d) 
Reviewing cost estimates of required improvements.
(e)

(f)

An applicant shall, by filing a plan, be then obligated to pay the fees herein provided. The engineering fees required to be paid by this section shall be promptly submitted to the Borough by the applicant upon the submission of bills therefor to the applicant from time to time, but not later than the date on which the final plan is to be considered by the Council.
