B.
In appropriate cases, the Planning Board shall have
the authority to approve a minor subdivision without the necessity
of such referral.
Whenever review or approval of the application
by the County Planning Board is required by N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.3, the
Planning Board 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 Planning Board shall approve or conditionally
approve the minor subdivision within 45 days of submission of a complete
application or within such further time consented to by the applicant.
If approved, a notation to that effect shall be made on the plat or
deed, and it shall be signed by the Chairperson and the Planning Board
Secretary and returned to the applicant within one week following
the next regular meeting of the Planning Board. If rejected, the reasons
for rejection shall be noted on all copies of the application form,
one of which shall be returned to the applicant.
Approval of a minor subdivision shall expire
190 days from the date of municipal approval unless within such period
a plat in conformity with such approval and the provisions of N.J.S.A.
46:26B-1 et seq., or a deed clearly describing the approved minor
subdivision is filed by the developer with the county recording officer,
the Municipal Engineer and the Municipal Tax Assessor. Any such plat
or deed accepted for such filing shall have been signed by the Chairperson
and Secretary of the Planning Board. In reviewing the application
for development for a proposed minor subdivision, the Planning Board
may accept a plat not in conformity with N.J.S.A. 46:26B-1 et seq.,
provided that, if the developer chooses to file the minor subdivision
as provided herein by plat rather than deed, such plat shall conform
with the provisions of said Act.
Any lands, lots or parcels resulting from a
minor subdivision may not be resubmitted as a minor subdivision for
a thirty-six-month period from the date of initial approval as a minor
subdivision.
The zoning requirements and general terms and
conditions, whether conditional or otherwise, upon which minor subdivision
approval was granted shall not be changed for a period of two years
after the date of minor subdivision approval, provided that the approved
minor subdivision shall have been duly recorded as provided in this
article.
Before the return of any approved minor subdivision
to the applicant, copies shall be distributed to the following:
