the extent to which the proposed subdivision conforms to these regulations
and suggest any modifications which are deemed advisable or necessary
to secure conformance with these regulations where applicable.

Each application for subdivision approval, where
required pursuant to Section 5 of P.L. 1968, c. 285, shall be submitted by the applicant to the County Planning
Board for review and approval, and the Township Consolidated Land
Use Board of Mansfield Township shall condition any approval that
it grants upon timely receipt of a favorable report on the application
by the County Planning Board or approval by the County Planning Board
by its failure to report thereon within the required time period.

The Consolidated Land Use Board of Mansfield
Township, when acting upon applications for preliminary or minor subdivision
approval, shall have the power to grant such exceptions from the requirements
for subdivision approval as may be reasonable and within the general
purpose and intent of the provisions for subdivision review and approval
of this chapter, if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions
of this chapter is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because
of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
[Amended 3-5-2020 by Ord. No. 2020-5]

the Consolidated Land Use Board of Mansfield Township or the Consolidated
Land Use Board of Mansfield Township being required to hold further
hearings. The longest time period for action by the Consolidated Land
Use Board of Mansfield Township, whether it is for subdivision, conditional
use or site plan approval, shall apply. Whenever approval of a conditional
use is requested by the developer pursuant to this subsection, notice
of the hearing on the plat shall include reference to the request
for such conditional use.
