(A) Within 90 days from the submission of the final plan, the Township Board of Supervisors shall review and act on the plan and notify the applicant in writing of its action. On finding the final plan application to be in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and for compliance with the approved preliminary plan, the Township Board of Supervisors shall affix its seal on the plan together with the certifying signature of the Chairperson. Where modifications of the final plan are requested or the plan is disapproved, the grounds for these actions must be stated in the notification and noted in the Township Board of Supervisors’ records.
(B) Based on a thorough review of the details of the final plan, the township shall approve; approve with conditions, revisions or modifications; or disapprove the application; render its decision; and communicate its decision to the applicant within 90 days after the date the final plan application was filed. The Township Board of Supervisors shall notify the applicant in writing of its decision no later than 15 days following the decision. The approval of the final plan by the Township Board of Supervisors shall not be deemed an acceptance of the proposed dedication and shall not impose any duty on any of the municipalities of the county concerning the maintenance or improvements of any such street, highway, alley or other portions of the same, until the municipality in which the subdivision is located shall have accepted or made actual appropriation of the same by entry, use or improvement. When the application is not approved in terms as filed, the decision shall specify the defects found in the application and describe the requirements which have not been met and shall, in each case, cite the provisions of the statute or ordinance relied upon.
