[Res. 4-97-3, 4/7/1997]
In order to effect a reasonable administration of this Part,
a procedure is hereby instituted that will facilitate and expedite
the processing of an access corridor transfer.
[Res. 4-97-3, 4/7/1997]
Upon receipt of an applicant's request for a review of
a proposal, the Gregg Township Board of Supervisors shall make a determination
as to whether or not the proposal is of a size and scope having only
minor community impact.
[Res. 4-97-3, 4/7/1997]
Processing under this policy may be denied by the Gregg Township
Board of Supervisors whereby the subdivision is determined to create
a significant impact which would be inconsistent with the stated purpose
of this policy which is to create an exemption to the subdivision
plan processing procedure allowing for the creation of an access corridor
parcel deemed to be of minor nature and scope.
[Res. 4-97-3, 4/7/1997]
1.Â
Submission Process. The applicant shall submit for review the following:
A.Â
A completed "request for information" form.
B.Â
A detailed sketch plan showing the parcel to be subdivided from the
present property and the nature of the proposal. The property owner
must own the adjacent property for a consolidation or lot addition
to be created, with the "common boundary line" to be deleted in a
clear and concise manner.
|
The Gregg Township Board of Supervisors considers a lot addition
to be any two or more separate adjacent lots where boundary lines
are actually being moved within one or more of the properties, to
increase or decrease the acreage of either lot. They consider the
mere removal of a common boundary line to create a single lot to be
a consolidation. If the property owner/applicant does not own adjacent
property, then a lot addition or consolidation is not being created.
Under any of the outlined circumstances, the property is subject to
all of the applicable rules and regulations outlined in the Gregg
Township Subdivision Ord. 11-75, its amendments, its supporting resolutions,
and any policies created by the Gregg Township Board of Supervisors
now in effect or in effect at the time of the submission.
|
C.Â
Applicant shall produce evidence of ownership (i.e., source of title)
and will be required to produce an "accurate description" of the parcel
being subdivided (by bearings and distances generated by a registered
surveyor or equivalent alternative such as a railroad center-line
easement stationing or PennDOT center-line descriptions).
D.Â
Applicant shall execute a disclaimer statement in substantially the
following form:
|
"Applicant understands that Gregg Township government, by requiring
compliance with the Municipalities Planning Code of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and the Subdivision Ordinance of Gregg Township; does
not guarantee applicant's title to the property recited in the
document of transfer. Applicant shall be responsible to verify title
through a title examination through a lawyer. Applicant waives any
claim, action, cause of action, or demand, it may have now or in the
future may obtain against Gregg Township government, its agents and
employees, for any damages or costs applicant may incur in obtaining
good title to the property."
|
E.Â
Upon receipt of the above information, the Gregg Township Board of
Supervisors, within 10 working days after their next scheduled meeting,
shall render its determination as to the status of the proposal and
declare whether the subdivision falls within the criteria established
in this policy.
F.Â
If the decision is favorable:
(1)Â
The application, detailed sketch plan, and other submitted documentation
will be acknowledged as "granted approval" and will be placed on file
as such with no further submission requirements.
(2)Â
The applicant shall be notified in writing, and the appropriate
agencies shall similarly be notified concerning the Gregg Township
Board of Supervisors' determination. All applicable parties (e.g.,
local municipal officials, Centre County Assessment Office, Recorder's
Office, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and the Gregg
Township Sewer Authority) will be provided with a copy of the detailed
sketch plan, corresponding survey documentation and source of title
for their files.
(3)Â
Applicant will be instructed that the determination does not
negate the responsibility to comply with the County's Uniform
Parcel Identifier Ordinance and/or all other applicable federal, state
or municipal rules and regulations prior to deed transfer and recording.
