The Planning Board may not formally accept an application for site plan approval unless the following conditions, and other conditions specified elsewhere, have been complied with:
A. 
Site plan approval applications. Three copies of the application form, to be provided by the Secretary of the Planning Board, shall be completed and submitted.
B. 
Required number of maps and reports. Ten copies of all maps and written reports shall be provided and submitted to the Planning Board, plus one black- or blue-and-white print and one reverse line sepia for submission to the County Planning Board.
C. 
Application fees. All application fees shall be paid to the Secretary of the Planning Board.
D. 
Reports by other boards or agencies. Written reports by other boards or agencies as required by this Part 4 or requested by the Planning Board shall be received by the Planning Board, provided that such boards and/or agencies shall report within 30 days from the date of submission to said board or agency to review and comment on the same.
A. 
The Planning Board shall review the application at a public meeting after all reports have been submitted.
B. 
At a public meeting of the Planning Board and within 45 days of submission of a complete application for a minor site plan or less than 95 days for any other site plan or within a mutually agreed upon time extension, the Planning Board shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove the site plan.
[Amended 2-13-1980 by Ord. No. 4-80]
C. 
The reasons for disapproval or the requirements of any conditional approval shall be set forth in the written minutes of the Planning Board, and the applicant shall be notified, in writing, within 10 days of said action. A notice of this decision shall be advertised as provided in this chapter.
D. 
If the Planning Board required any substantial amendment in the layout of improvements proposed by the developer that have been the subject of a hearing, an amended application for development shall be submitted and proceeded upon, as in the case of the original application for development. If, by motion of the Planning Board, a change or changes are considered minor in nature, approval may be given subject to the submission of an amended site plan indicating the changes.
A. 
Any application for site plan approval by the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment, as the case may be, of the Township of Morris which either requires municipal site plan approval prior to other governmental action or requires extensive review and consideration by other governmental units may be granted conditional preliminary site plan review by the Planning Board. This conditional approval shall expire within three years if the applicant does not file for final site plan approval with the Planning Board. All procedural requirements for site plan approval may be waived where other governmental approvals do not substantially change the conditional approval granted by the Planning Board.
B. 
In the event that the design and layout have been affected by other governmental requirements, the applicant shall submit an amended site plan with accompanying application fee required in conjunction with the amended application.
Amended site plan applications shall be filed with the Secretary of the Planning Board and shall be considered at the next regular meeting date of the Planning Board, provided that the amended application is received no less than 10 working days before said meeting date and said amendments are minor in nature as determined by the Construction Official.
[Amended 7-19-1995 by Ord. No. 22-95]
A. 
All proposed improvements or development indicated on the approved site plan map shall meet the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and specifications of the Township, county, state or federal governments and other agencies with jurisdiction over matters pertaining to site development. Further, each site plan submitted for review and approval by the Township shall comply with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and the requirements of the State of New Jersey for handicap access and barrier-free design. A notation certifying such compliance shall be placed on each site plan.
B. 
The Construction Official and/or the Township Engineer may authorize minor changes in the site plan caused by said conditions and shall notify the Planning Board, in writing, of such changes.
The site plan, as approved by the Planning Board, shall be binding upon the applicant. Any changes from the approved plan shall require resubmission and reapproval by the Planning Board, except as provided in § 57-102B hereof. Site plan approval shall remain in effect for a period of three years from the date of approval. The Planning Board, upon request from the applicant, may, for good and sufficient reason, extend this time period. In the event that a particular facility is to be constructed in stages, a site plan for each particular stage shall be required for the issuance of each building permit.
In the event of a failure to comply with any condition of site plan approval, the Construction Official, on his own initiative, may revoke the construction permit or certificate of occupancy, as the case may be, and seek to enjoin the violation, or take such other steps as permitted by law.
The Construction Official may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.23(g).
