The Board of Supervisors is vested with the
jurisdiction and control of the subdivision and development of land
located within the limits of New Garden Township in accordance with
the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act 247 of 1968, as
amended.
A.
No lot in a subdivision may be sold; no permit to
erect, alter or repair any building upon land in a subdivision may
be issued; and no building may be erected in a subdivision, unless
and until a final subdivision plan has been approved and, where required,
recorded; and until the improvements required by the Board in connection
therewith have either been completed or guaranteed as hereinafter
provided. Where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement
of this provision would result in unnecessary hardship, the Board
may make such reasonable exception thereto as will not be contrary
to the public interest and may permit the sale of a lot, issuance
of a permit, or erection of a building, subject to conditions necessary
to assure adequate streets and other public improvements.
B.
No lot, tract or parcel of land will be subdivided,
and no land will be developed, and no street, alley, sanitary sewer,
storm sewer, water main or related facility will be laid out, constructed,
opened or dedicated for public use or travel, or for the use of occupants
of buildings abutting or to abut on them, except according to the
provisions of this chapter and the New Garden Zoning Ordinance and
any other ordinances of the Township.
D.
The scope of this chapter shall include all matters
over which, by law, the Township is authorized to exercise control
by enactment and enforcement of this chapter, including but not necessarily
limited to:
(1)
All improvements within the tract undergoing subdivision
or land development;
(2)
The improvements of adjacent public facilities, including
streets and drainage facilities which border upon the tract; and
(3)
The installation or enhancement of off-site improvements
needed to adequately serve the subdivision or land development.
