(A) Endorsement by Borough Council. After the procedures required by this chapter have been completed and the Borough Council finally approves a plan, the Borough Council shall endorse the final plan for record.
(1) The endorsed plans shall be clear and legible black-on-white prints on material acceptable to the Recorder of Deeds.
(2) Before any plan is released for recording, a copy of any permits required by the State Departments of Environmental Resources and Transportation shall be submitted to the borough.
(3) The borough shall receive one reproducible reproduction of the final plan as approved and recorded within 15 days of recording. The reproducible shall contain the Recorder of Deeds information as to deed book volume, page number and date of recording.
(4) All streets, parks or other improvements shown on the final plan shall be deemed to be private until such time as they have been offered for dedication to the borough and accepted by Borough Council. The acceptance of any improvements shall be by a separate action of the Borough Council and shall not be affected by approval of a subdivision or land development plan.
(5) The developer shall agree with the borough to tender, if requested, a deed of dedication for any and all public improvements, including easements. Upon completion of any public improvements shown on an approved subdivision or land development plan and within 90 days after approval of such public improvements, as herein provided, the borough may require that the developer offer such public improvements for dedication. In such a case, the developer shall prepare a deed of dedication and forward same to the borough for review by the Borough Solicitor. The borough may require that the developer supply a title insurance policy from a reputable company before any property is accepted by the borough.
(B) Filing With Recorder of Deeds.
(1) Upon approval of a final plan by the Borough Council, the developer shall within 90 days of such final approval record the plan in the office of the Recorder of Deeds. The Recorder of Deeds shall not accept any plan for recording unless the plan contains the endorsement of the Borough Council and official notification of review by the County Planning Commission. If the developer fails to record the plan within such period, the approval action of the Borough Council shall be null and void.
(2) All final plan sheets which contain restrictive notes, lot boundaries, easements, maintenance responsibilities, other lot owner responsibilities, and such other information relating to potential lot owners shall be recorded.
