(F) Proof that all due and payable taxes or installments of special assessments pertaining to the land proposed to be divided are paid in full;
(G) If transfer of division rights are proposed in the land transfer, detailed information about the terms and availability of the proposed division rights transfer;
(H) Unless a division creates a parcel which is acknowledged and declared to be “not buildable” under § 155.08 of this chapter, all divisions shall result in “buildable” area outside of unbuildable wetlands, floodplains and other areas where buildings are prohibited therefrom, minimum floor areas, off-street parking spaces, on-site sewage disposal and water well locations (where public water and sewer service is not available) and maximum allowed area coverage of buildings and structures on the site; and
(I) The fee as may from time to time be established by resolution of the Township Board for land division reviews pursuant to this chapter to cover the costs of review of the application and administration of this chapter and the State Land Division Act (Public Act 288 of 1967, being M.C.L.A. §§ 560.101 through 560.293, as amended).
