The sketch plat shall comply with the design
standards set forth in this chapter.
A.
If the sketch plat is classified and approved as a
minor subdivision by an action of the Subdivision Committee, then
the sketch plat shall be referred for further action to the Planning
Board with the written report of the Subdivision Committee. If the
Planning Board also classifies and approves the sketch plat as a minor
subdivision and the subdivider has submitted a certificate from the
Tax Collector of the Borough stating that all taxes with respect to
the lots involved in such minor subdivision have been paid to date,
the Secretary shall return the original sketch plat to the subdivider
within one week following the meeting of the Planning Board.
B.
The Planning Board may waive the requirement for a
public hearing in the case of a minor subdivision, in which event
no further Planning Board approval shall be required.
A.
If the sketch plat is approved as a minor subdivision,
the subdivider shall cause a plat, drawn in compliance with N.J.S.A.
46:23-9.11, to be prepared and seven copies thereof delivered to the
Secretary of the Planning Board within 15 days after such approval,
together with cash to cover Bergen County filing fees and the cost
of one certified copy. The Chairman and Secretary shall affix their
signatures, and the Secretary of the Planning Board shall cause the
same to be filed with the Bergen County Recording Office, having the
second copy certified as filed for the records of the Planning Board.
If the sketch plat is classified as a major
subdivision, a notation to that effect shall be made on the sketch
plat. The plat will be returned to the subdivider for compliance with
the requirements of this chapter.
A.
Following the public hearing and prior to adoption
of a resolution of approval or disapproval of a subdivision application,
the subdivider may request, and the Planning Board may grant, permission
to revise the preliminary plat. The Planning Board may grant a continuance
not to exceed 31 days for submission of such revised preliminary plat,
provided that the subdivider files a written statement of waiver which
releases the Planning Board from the requirement to approve or disapprove
the application within the time period established by the laws of
the State of New Jersey.
B.
The Planning Board may act to approve or disapprove
such revised preliminary plat without additional hearings, unless
it finds that the revised preliminary plat contains provisions substantially
affecting parties of interest, which provisions were not previously
contained in the preliminary plat.
C.
If, after the public hearing, the Planning Board acts
favorably on a preliminary plat, the Chairman of the Planning Board
shall affix his signature to the preliminary plat with a notation
that it has received preliminary approval contingent upon conditions
to be complied with by the subdivider prior to final approval as set
forth in a resolution of the Planning Board granting such preliminary
approval. The preliminary plat shall be returned, with a copy of such
resolution, to the subdivider for compliance with final approval requirements.
A.
The final plat shall be submitted through the Clerk
or the Deputy Clerk, who shall note thereon the date of receipt, to
the Secretary of the Planning Board for final approval within three
years from the date of preliminary approval. The Planning Board shall
act upon the final plat within the time period established by the
laws of the State of New Jersey or within such further time as the
subdivider shall agree to.
B.
One reproducible translucent tracing cloth copy, two
cloth prints and at least seven black-on-white prints or such other
number as may from time to time be required by the Planning Board,
together with four copies of the application form for final approval,
shall be submitted through the Clerk or Deputy Clerk to the Secretary
of the Planning Board at least two weeks prior to the date of a regular
Planning Board meeting.
C.
At the time of filing, all Borough engineering costs in connection with the development shall be paid if all improvements have been installed. If such improvements have not been installed, then the performance and maintenance bond or bonds shall be posted with the Secretary as required by § 195-11. Unless the preliminary plat is approved without changes, the final plat shall have incorporated all changes or modifications required by the Planning Board.
A.
The final plat shall be accompanied by a statement
by the Engineer that he is in receipt of a map showing all utilities
in exact location and elevation, identifying those portions already
installed and those to be installed.
B.
The statement shall also state that the subdivider
has installed all improvements in accordance with the requirements
of these regulations, paid all engineering, inspection and legal fees
and posted with the Secretary of the Board a surety company maintenance
bond.
C.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary,
the Planning Board may grant final approval where all required improvements
have been completed, with the exception of the final wearing surface
on the roadways in the subdivision, provided that the subdivider shall
post with the Borough Clerk a cash bond in an amount equal to 120%
of the estimated cost of installing the final wearing surface, as
determined by the Planning Board pursuant to recommendation of the
Borough Engineer, the cash bond to be conditioned by agreement with
the subdivider to install the final wearing surface within one year
from the date of final approval.
A.
The final plat shall be accompanied by a certificate
of the Clerk or the Deputy Clerk which shall certify that all deeds
and conveyances for all property which is to be given for or dedicated
to public purposes, such as park areas and streets and certifications
of title of such properties in the grantor free and clear of all encumbrances,
are being held in escrow so that they may be transferred to the Borough
at such time as the signatures authorizing final approval are placed
on the final plot plan.
B.
In order to enable the Clerk or Deputy Clerk to so
certify, the Planning Board shall, after the approval of the preliminary
plat, notify the Clerk or Deputy Clerk of its requirements of the
subdivider with respect to deeds, conveyances and certifications,
the descriptions and form of which shall be subject to the prior approval
of the Engineer and Planning Board Attorney.
A.
At least seven black-on-white prints of the preliminary
plat or such other number as may from time to time be required by
the Planning Board, together with four completed application forms
for preliminary approval, shall be submitted through the Clerk or
the Deputy Clerk to the Secretary of the Planning Board two weeks
prior to the Planning Board meeting at which consideration is desired.
B.
Copies of the preliminary plat shall be forwarded
by the Clerk or the Deputy Clerk under direction from the Secretary
of the Planning Board 10 days prior to the hearing to the following
persons:
C.
Two copies of the preliminary plat and a notice of
the hearing thereon shall be transmitted by the Secretary of the Planning
Board, prior to the hearing, to the Planning Board or, if there is
none, then to the governing body of every municipality any part of
the boundary of which lies within a distance of 200 feet from any
part of the subdivision.
B.
After approval of the final plat by the Planning Board,
the subdivider shall deliver two copies to the Secretary of the Planning
Board within 45 days after such approval, together with cash to cover
filing fees and the cost of one certified copy. The Secretary of the
Planning Board shall cause the same to be filed with the Bergen County
Recording Office, having the second copy certified as filed for the
records of the Planning Board within 90 days from the date of such
approval.
