1.
No plan of a subdivision or land development proposed for the Township
shall be recorded in any public office unless or until that plan shall
bear the certified approval of the Planning Commission and Supervisors.
2.
It shall be unlawful for any person to sell, trade or otherwise convey
or offer to sell, trade or otherwise convey any lot or parcel of land
as part of or in conformity with any plan, plat or replat of any subdivision
or land development unless and until said plan, plat or replat shall

1.
Any person, partnership, or corporation who or which has violated
the provisions of any subdivision or land development ordinance legally
enacted by the Township shall, upon being found liable therefor in
a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by a municipality, pay a
judgment of not more than $500, plus all court costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by the municipality 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 District Justice.
If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the
municipality 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 District Justice determining that
there has been a violation further determines that there was a good-faith
basis for the person, partnership, or corporation violating the ordinance
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 District Justice, and thereafter, each day that a violation continues
shall constitute a separate violation.
2.
The Court Of Common Pleas, upon petition, may grant an order of stay,
upon cause shown, tolling the per diem judgment pending a final adjudication
of the violation and judgement.

1.
The provisions of these regulations shall be enforced by an administrator
appointed by and responsible to the Board of Supervisors. He may be
reimbursed at the discretion of the Board, may hold other appointive
but not elective positions in the Township, and may hold similar appointive
positions in several municipalities. He shall serve at the pleasure
of the Board.
2.
The administrator shall review proposals for subdivision and land
development plans upon request of the Planning Commission or Board
of Supervisors; shall issue or revoke permits at the direction of
the Planning Commission or Board upon his recommendation; shall enter
upon, at his discretion, subdivision and land development plans in
the process of construction to evaluate compliance with the terms
of approved applications; shall point out to the developer discrepancies
in the development not in compliance and demand remedial action to
guarantee compliance within 30 days of noting the discrepancy to avoid
revocation of the permit; and shall otherwise act as the Township's
agent in the enforcement of these regulations.
3.
No developer, owner or agent or employee of them shall block entrance
of the administrator to any subdivision or development plan in the
process of development.

compliance with or to enjoin violation of the provisions of these
regulations or any administrative orders or determinations made pursuant
to these regulations.
