The Planning Board when acting upon application
for a preliminary or minor subdivision approval shall have the power
to grant such exceptions from the requirements for subdivision as
may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the
provisions for subdivision review and approval of this chapter, if
the literal enforcement of one or more provisions of this chapter
is impractical or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions
pertaining to the land in question.
The Planning Board shall have the power to review
and approve or deny conditional uses simultaneously with the review
for subdivision approval without the developer being required to make
further applications to the Planning Board or the Planning Board being
required to hold further hearing. The longest time period for action
by the Planning Board, whether it be for subdivisions or conditional
use, shall apply. Whenever approval of a conditional use is requested
by the developer pursuant to this section, notice of the hearing on
the plat shall include reference to the request for such conditional
use.
Copies of any plats received in application
for approval of a minor subdivision or preliminary or final approval
of a major subdivision shall upon receipt by the Administrative Officer
or Secretary of the Board be immediately forwarded to the following
persons:
G. Local Fire Department or Fire Marshal (major subdivisions
only).

along with proof of return receipt of certified mailing.
Before consideration of a final subdivision
plat, the developer will have installed the improvements required
by the preliminary approval, the Planning Board and this chapter,
or prior to final approval, the approving authority may require a
corporate surety bond, a certified check returnable to the subdivider
after full compliance or any other type of surety approved by the
governing body and approved to form by the Municipal Solicitor for
the purpose of assuring the installation and maintenance of on-tract
improvements and for installation of off-tract improvements. The provisions
of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53 shall govern said bonds and the completion,
inspection and approval of said improvements and the payment of inspection
fees.
