§ 22-401. General Standards.
   1.   Land shall be suited to the purpose for which it is to be subdivided. Land with unsafe or hazardous conditions such as open quarries, unconsolidated fill, steep slopes, or flood-prone areas shall not be subdivided unless the subdivision plan provides for adequate safeguards which are approved by the Township Planning Commission and Township Council.
   2.   Consideration shall be given to applicable provisions of the Hanover Township Comprehensive Development Plan and the JPC's Comprehensive Plan for Lehigh and Northampton Counties, emphasizing future school sites, recreation sites, water supply and sewage treatment systems, highway alignments, and other public facilities. However, consideration must be given to the need for such facilities and utilities mentioned above whether or not they are mentioned or proposed as part of a comprehensive plan.
   3.   The development of the proposed subdivision shall be coordinated with adjacent existing development so that the area, as a whole, may develop harmoniously.
