Editor's Note: See 53 P.S. § 10101 et seq.
For the purpose of assuring sites suitable for building purposes and
human habitation and to provide for the harmonious development of boroughs,
for the coordination of existing streets with proposed streets, parks and
other features of the official street plan of the borough, for insuring adequate
open spaces for traffic, recreation, light and air, and for proper distribution
of population, thereby creating conditions favorable to the health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the citizens, any borough is empowered to adopt
land subdivision regulations. Such regulations may include definitions, design
standards, plan requirements, plan processing procedures, improvement and
construction requirements, and conditions of acceptance of public improvements
by the borough.
These regulations shall be known and may be cited as the "Brookville
Borough Subdivision Regulations."
No subdivision of any lot, tract or parcel of land shall be effected,
and no street, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main or other facilities
in connection therewith shall be laid out, constructed, opened or dedicated
for public use or travel, or for the common use of occupants of buildings
abutting thereon, except in strict accordance with the provisions of these
regulations.
No lot in a subdivision may be sold; no permit to erect, alter or repair
any building upon land in a subdivision may be issued; and no building may
be erected in a subdivision, unless and until a subdivision plan has been
approved, and recorded; and until the improvements required by the Borough
Planning Commission in connection therewith have either been constructed or
guaranteed as hereinafter provided.
