In the event that, during the period of approval
heretofore or hereafter granted to an application for development,
the developer is barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from
proceeding with the development otherwise permitted under such approval,
by a legal action instituted by any state agency, political subdivision
or other party to protect the public health and welfare or by a directive
or order issued by any state agency, political subdivision or court
of competent jurisdiction to protect the public health or welfare
and the developer is otherwise ready, willing and able to proceed
with said development, the running of the period of approval under
this chapter or under any ordinance repealed by this chapter, as the
case may be, shall be suspended for the period of time said legal
action is pending or such directive or order is in effect.
Every application for development submitted
to the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment shall be accompanied
by proof that no taxes or assessments for local improvements are due
or delinquent on the property which is the subject of such application.
