describing the approved minor subdivision, is filed by the developer
with the county recording officer, the Board Engineer and the Township

Failure of the Board to act within the period
set forth in the sections above, whichever is appropriate, shall constitute
the approval applied for in accordance with the automatic approval
provisions of the Municipal Land Use Law.
