The proposed construction submitted to the Planning
Board for site approval must be completed in all respects as provided
for hereinabove within two years from the date of approval of the
site plan by the Planning Board. Failure of the applicant to complete
construction within such period will nullify and void the site approval
heretofore granted for the premises as if no site approval had ever
been granted for the plans, and said applicant will be in violation
of this chapter if any construction or excavation is undertaken or
continued after the expiration of the two-year period from the date
of approval. The Planning Board may, upon good cause shown, extend
the period specified above for a reasonable period of time in order
to avoid undue hardship and unfairness.

that the municipality will be adequately protected.

and required landscaping, off-street parking, loading and unloading
zones, artificial lighting, sidewalks, curbs and driveways. An estimate
of improvement costs shall be prepared by the Township Engineer in
order to determine the amount of the performance guaranty. Said performance
guaranty shall have been reviewed by and have the approval of the
