A. 
The Borough Council shall establish by resolution a collection procedure and schedule of fees to be paid by the subdivider at the time of filing a preliminary plan in the case of a major subdivision and prior to the recording of a minor subdivision plan.
B. 
The schedule of fees shall be obtainable in the office of the Borough Secretary, and shall be posted therein and in such other places as the Borough Council may designate.
C. 
No final plan shall be approved unless and until all fees and charges have been paid in full.
A. 
The provisions of this chapter are intended as minimum standards for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. The Borough Council may modify or extend said provisions conditionally in individual cases as may be deemed necessary in the public interest; provided, however, that such variation shall not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter. If the literal compliance with any mandatory provisions of these regulations is shown by a subdivider, to a majority of the Borough Council present at a prescheduled public meeting, to be unreasonable and to cause undue hardship as they apply to his property to be subdivided, the Borough Council may grant a variance to the subdivider from such mandatory provisions if the variance will promote the public interest.
B. 
No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions shall be made in any plan of a subdivision after approval has been made by the Council and endorsed on the plan, unless said plan is first resubmitted to and approved by the Borough Council.
C. 
Challenges. Any person desiring to challenge the validity of any provision of this chapter or any amendment thereof shall make such challenge in accordance with the provisions of Act 247 of 1968, the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, as amended.[1]

Editor's Note: See 53 P.S. § 10101 et seq.
A. 
No lot in a subdivision shall be sold, no permit to erect any building upon land in a subdivision shall be issued, and no buildings shall be erected in a subdivision until a final plan of such subdivision shall have been approved and properly recorded and until improvements have been either constructed or guaranteed.
B. 
Any person, copartnership or corporation who shall subdivide any lot, tract, or parcel of land; layout, construct, open or dedicate any street, sanitary sewer, storm sewer or water main for public use or travel or for the common use of occupants of buildings abutting thereon; sell any lot; or erect any building in a subdivision without first having complied with all of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter.[1]

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
C. 
Upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the Borough, such persons or the members of such copartnership or the officers of such corporation responsible for such violation shall pay a judgment of not more than $500, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Borough as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the Magisterial District Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Borough may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless the Magisterial District Judge, determining that there has been a violation, further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation violating this chapter to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation by the Magisterial District Judge, and thereafter, each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.[2]
