After a proposed Subdivision has received all necessary Township review and approvals per the local Township Zoning Resolution, and comments have been received from applicable Township departments for design consideration, review of general Subdivision and site design falls under the jurisdiction of the Planning Commission. The purpose of good Subdivision site design is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the County and to create a functional and attractive development, to minimize adverse impacts, and to ensure that a project will be an asset to the County. To promote this purpose, these Subdivision Regulations shall set forth requirements for the manner in which streets, lots and other elements of a proposed Subdivision shall be arranged on the land. Improvements required by these Subdivision Regulations shall facilitate convenient and safe streets and usable lots, and shall reserve adequate space for public utilities, as well as recreational, institutional, and other public uses.
The development shall be designed to avoid adversely affecting groundwater and aquifer recharge, to reduce cut and fill; to avoid unnecessary impervious cover; to prevent flooding; and to provide adequate access to lots and sites.
