Editor's Note: A preamble to this chapter
stated that the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code establishes
the basic authority for the exercise of municipal land use controls
by Pennsylvania municipalities; that the Planning Code enables local
governments to govern community development through zoning and subdivision
and land development ordinances; that Article V, Section 502 of the
Planning Code (53 P.S. § 10502), provides for the governing
bodies of counties to enact subdivision and land development ordinances
having jurisdiction in cities, boroughs, incorporated towns and townships
within the county which have no such ordinances in effect at the time
a subdivision of land development ordinance is introduced in the county;
that such an ordinance had been adopted by Delaware County in 1978
and amended in 1981; and that Delaware County had adopted a resolution
establishing a fee schedule for land development and subdivision review.
The Borough of Marcus Hook adopts by reference
Delaware County Resolution 7601 as amended in 1985, and further amended
in 1989, known as the "Delaware County Fee Schedule for Subdivision
and Land Development Reviews," to help defray the cost of subdivision
and land development reviews by the Borough of Marcus Hook, to remain
applicable and consistent with the Delaware County Fee Schedule as
currently written and as modified or amended, by authority of the
Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code of 1968, Act 247, as amended
by Act 194 of 1974 and Act 170 of 1988.
