[Amended 5-18-1982 by Ord. No. 82-2]
If, before favorable referral and final approval has been obtained, any person transfers or sells or agrees to sell, as owner or agent, any land which forms a part of a subdivision on which, by ordinance, the approving authority is required to act, such person shall be subject to a penalty of not more than $1,000 per lot.
A. 
In addition to the foregoing, the Borough may institute a civil action:[1]
(1) 
For injunctive relief.
(2) 
To set aside and invalidate any conveyance made pursuant to such a contract or sale if a certificate of compliance has not been issued in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-56.[2]

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
B. 
In any such action the transferee, purchaser or grantee shall be entitled to a lien upon the portion of the land from which the subdivision was made that remains in the possession of the subdivider or his assigns or successors to secure the return of any deposit made or purchase price paid and also a reasonable search fee, survey expense and title closing expense, if any. Any such action must be brought within two years after the date of the recording of the instrument of transfer, sale or conveyance of said land or within six years if unrecorded.
[Amended 5-18-1982 by Ord. No. 82-2]
These rules, regulations and standards shall be considered the minimum requirements for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Gibbsboro. Any action taken by the approving authority under the terms of this chapter shall give primary consideration to the above-mentioned matters and to the welfare of the entire community. However, if the developer or his agent can clearly demonstrate that, because of peculiar conditions pertaining to his land, the literal enforcement of one or more of these regulations is impracticable or will exact undue hardship, the approving authority may permit such variance or variances as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by this chapter.
