A. 
It shall be the duty of the Borough Construction Official to enforce the provisions of this chapter and to investigate any violation or alleged violation hereof, except that the Borough Engineer may make inspections of utilities, drainage and paving; the Police Department may make inspections of parking areas and traffic access points; the Fire Department may make inspections of fire lanes; and the Shade Tree Committee and Beautification Committee may make inspections of the landscaping. The site development features initially installed are required to be maintained during the life of the building and substantial changes, as determined by the Construction Official and other inspecting agencies, are not to be made without permission of the Planning Board.
B. 
These rules, regulations and standards shall be considered the minimum requirements for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Borough of River Edge. Any action taken by the approving agency under the terms of this chapter shall give primary consideration of the above mentioned matters and to the welfare of the entire Borough. However, if the applicant can clearly demonstrate that because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the property involved, the literal enforcement of one or more of these regulations or ordinance provisions is impractical, or will exact undue hardship, the approving agency may permit such variations or departures as may be reasonable and within the general purposes hereof.
C. 
The Planning Board shall adopt and may amend reasonable rules and regulations not inconsistent with the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law[1] for the administration of its functions, powers and duties hereunder, including hearings, and providing for the form, number and distribution of copies of applications. Said rules and regulations and application forms shall be kept and filed with the Borough administrative officer.
