Preliminary and final plans shall be prepared under complete direction and control an engineer, surveyor and/or a landscape architect registered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to perform such duties. Plans shall contain the appropriate certifica tion(s), professional seal(s) and signature(s) to cover the design work included on the plans. Metes and bounds descriptions shall be prepared by surveyors, and designs which entail engineering expertise shall be prepared by professional engineers.

1. Where required by the Dover Township Zoning Ordinance [Chapter 27], the developer shall follow the conservation subdivision design four-step process in accordance with the provisions of Part 4.
2. Such process will be considered as submitted for informal review and discussion and shall not constitute formal filing of the plan with the Township.
3. As far as may be practical on the basis of the four-step process review and discussion, the Township will informally advise the developer as promptly as possible of the extent to which the proposed land development conforms to the design and construction standards of these regulations [Part 7] and will discuss possible plan modifications necessary to secure conformance.
(Ord. 2011-05, 3/14/2011, § 303)
1. Any subdivision or land development which contains no more than five lots or prospective dwelling units, may be reviewed and acted upon as a Final plan without the necessity of a prior preliminary plan approval.
2. Such determination shall be made by the Township staff based upon the following considerations:
A. The proposed subdivision or land development does not involve site and related improvements to the extent that a detailed review by the Township necessitates initial processing as a preliminary plan.
B. The proposed subdivision or land development complies with the applicable provisions of this Chapter.
C. After one minor subdivision has taken place within any given tract, the applicant shall be required to submit a complete preliminary plan for the entire tract on the next subsequent application, unless the size, frequency and interrela tionship of the prior subdivision clearly does not warrant such as determined by the Board of Township Supervisors.
(Ord. 2011-05, 3/14/2011, § 304)
1. The subdivider or land developer shall submit an application for subdivision and land development and copies of proposed preliminary or final plan in accordance with Part 5 and Part 6 to the Township agent.
