Township of Daugherty, PA Mobile Homes

After the advisory meeting, the developer shall submit an application for approval of a preliminary plat to the Township Secretary or Township Planning Commission at least 15 days prior to the regular monthly meeting of the Planning Commission.

The application shall be accompanied by the following:

Six copies of all maps and data set forth in Subsection G of this section shall be delivered to the Township office. Township officials shall forward preliminary plans to the following agencies within 30 days of receipt:

[1]

Township Planning Commission;

[2]

Sewer and water authority with jurisdiction;

[3]

Township Engineer;

[4]

Township volunteer fire department;

[5]

Beaver County Planning Commission; and

[6]

Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (copies as required).

Review and comments will be required to be sent back to the Township within 30 days of receipt.

The Planning Commission may use other technical assistance as required in order to evaluate the application. Where the magnitude of development creates a significant change in the characteristics of the watershed or increases the volume and velocity of surface-water runoff due to the increase in detention and infiltration of stormwater, the Planning Commission in its review will consult with the Beaver County Soil Conservation Service or appropriate county agencies to determine improvements that will reduce the likelihood of erosion, sedimentation, siltation and water damage from peak periods of precipitation and provide for the disposal of excess surface water from areas of concentrated development. All Department of Environmental Protection Act 102 regulations are considered binding.

General. No person proposing a mobile home park shall proceed with any grading or improvements until the preliminary plat is approved by the Planning Commission and fees are paid to the Township as per Chapter 88, Grading. General site grading may be done prior to the above approval only by special permission of the Board of Supervisors.

The Planning Commission shall review the preliminary application and recommend action to be taken by the Board of Supervisors not later than 90 days after the date of the Planning Commission meeting following the date that the application is filed. Approval shall be subject to receipt of an acceptable preliminary plat, as set forth in Subsection G of this section, or the Commission shall recommend conditionally, approval or disapproval of the plat, setting forth its reasons and providing the applicant with a copy not later than 15 days following the decision.

(6)

Failure by the Board of Supervisors to render a decision and communicate it to the applicant within the time and manner required herein shall be deemed an approval of the application in terms as presented, unless the applicant has agreed in writing to an extension. Failure to meet the extension shall have like effect.

(7)

From the time an application for approval of a plat, whether preliminary or final, is duly filed as provided in this chapter, and while such application is pending approval or disapproval, no change or amendment of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance or other governing ordinance or plan shall affect the decision on such application adversely to the applicant for a period of five years, and the applicant shall be entitled to a decision in accordance with the provisions of the governing ordinances or plans as they stood at the time the application was duly filed. In addition, when a preliminary application has been duly approved, the applicant shall be entitled to final approval in accordance with the terms of the approved preliminary application, as hereinafter provided. However, if an application is properly and finally denied, any subsequent application shall be subject to the intervening change in government regulations. When an application for approval of a plat, whether preliminary or final, has been approved or approved subject to conditions acceptable to the applicant, no subsequent change or amendment in the zoning, subdivision or other governing ordinance or plan shall be applied to affect adversely the right of the applicant to commence and to complete any aspect of the approved development in accordance with the terms of such approval within five years from such approval. Where final approval is preceded by preliminary approval, the five-year period shall be counted from the date of the preliminary approval. In the case of any doubt as to the terms of a preliminary approval, the terms shall be construed in the light of the provisions of the governing ordinances or plans as they stood at the time when the application for such approval was duly filed.

Submission of final plat:

The final plat shall be submitted to the Planning Commission 15 days prior to a regularly scheduled meeting within six months after the preliminary plat was approved and shall have incorporated all the changes required by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. The final plat shall conform to the requirements set forth in this chapter and shall constitute only that portion of the preliminary plat which the developer proposes to record and develop at that time.

The final plat shall be accompanied by six prints of all exhibits, drawings and engineering data required for approval.

No plat shall be finally approved unless the streets shown on such plat have been improved as may be required by this chapter or Chapter 162, Vehicles and Traffic, and any walkways, curbs, gutters, streetlight, fire hydrants, shade trees, water mains, sanitary sewers, storm drains and other improvements as required by this chapter have been installed in accordance with this chapter. In the case where development is projected over a period of years, the Board of Supervisors, upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, may authorize submission of final plats by sections or stages of development, subject to such requirements or guarantees as to improvements in future sections or stages of development as it finds essential for the protection of any finally approved section of the development.

If the Board of Supervisors grants approval, the Chairman or other authorized member shall endorse the plat and return it to the developer. If disapproved, the Chairman shall attach to the original tracing of the final plat a statement of the reasons for such action and return it to the developer. Either action shall be taken not later than 90 days after the plat has been reviewed at an official meeting of the Planning Commission.

Recording of approved final plat. The developer shall present a copy of the approved final plat to the Recorder of Deeds of Beaver County, where required. Unless the plat is duly recorded within 90 days from the date of final plat approval, Township approval of the plat shall expire and shall be of no effect until subsequently reinstated.
