§ 107-6. Curative subdivisions.  


Latest version.
  • Where landowners ascertain that their grantor or previous grantors have conveyed a property without approval of a subdivision as required by this chapter or the prior subdivision ordinance, the landowner may seek a curative subdivision for the tract. The application shall be filed under an application for that purpose and shall be referred to the Lawrence Township Planning Commission as other applications. The Township Planning Commission shall review the application to determine whether the granting of the application shall achieve the goals of Article I of this chapter and whether the applicant was at fault in failing to secure an application. If it determines the applicant was not at fault, it may recommend the approval of the subdivision as to the tract and recommend such waivers of the subdivision ordinance as is consistent with the overall goals of Article I of this chapter. If it is determined the applicant was at fault, then the application shall meet all the requirements of either § 107-16, 107-17 or 107-18 depending on the number of lots involved in the subdivision. The Township Planning Commission shall render a recommendation to the Township Supervisors in the same manner as other applications.
