On application by the subdivider, the Planning
Board may waive the requirements of notice and hearing for subdivision
plans having the following characteristics:
A. Not more than five lots are created from any one tract,
exclusive of any remaining portion of the main parcel.
B. The subdivision does not involve a planned development
as defined by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-6.
C. Each of the lots and any remaining portion has frontage on either a state or county road or on an existing hard-surfaced street which has been dedicated to and accepted by the Township, which street has adequate actual or proposed right-of-way width as required by Article
VII, §
610-34C.
D. Each lot shall be served by the Township sewer and
water system, except that in R-1 Residence Districts where it is not
practicable to connect with the Township sewer and water system, one
single-lot subdivision with on-site facilities may be approved each
year, up to a total of five such lots on any tract. Board of Health
approval of on-site facilities is required.
E. None of the lots, with the exception of any remaining
portion, is intended for further subdivision.
F. The subdivision will not adversely affect the proper development of the remainder of the parcel or the adjoining properties and does not conflict with any provisions of Chapter
700, Zoning, Official Map or Township Plan.
G. The subdivision does not require the extension of
any off-tract improvement.
All minor subdivision plans shall meet the following
criteria:
A. Such plans shall be prepared by a professional engineer
or land surveyor registered in New Jersey, except that the Planning
Board may waive this requirement in cases where the land involved
has been subdivided and recorded previously, and the proposed subdivision
is a resubdivision of lots which front on streets which have been
officially accepted by the Township Council and which appear on the
Township Tax Map.
B. Such plans shall, with the exception of any remaining
portion of the tract, not include lots designed for future subdivision.
C. Such plans shall include 12 copies of the proposed
minor subdivision, drawn to scale, showing bordering dimensions of
that tract and of the proposed lots, the location of proposed and
existing buildings, if any and the proposed and actual widths of abutting
streets.
[Amended 12-28-2000 by Ord. No. 34-2000]
A. Except as provided in Subsection
C of this section, approval of a minor subdivision shall expire 190 days from the date on which the resolution of municipal approval is adopted unless within such period a plat in conformity with such approval and the provisions of the "Map Filing Law," P.L. 1960, c.141 (N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.), or a deed clearly describing the approved minor subdivision is filed by the developer with the County Recording Officer, the Municipal Engineer and the Municipal Tax Assessor. Any such plat or deed accepted for filing shall have been signed by the Planning Board Chairman and Secretary to the Planning Board.
B. The zoning requirements and general terms and conditions,
whether conditional or otherwise, upon which minor subdivision approval
was granted, shall not be changed, for a period of two years after
the date on which the resolution of minor subdivision approval is
adopted; provided that the approved minor subdivision shall have been
duly recorded as provided in this section.
C. The Planning Board may extend the one-hundred-ninety-day period for filing a minor subdivision plat or deed pursuant to Subsection
D of this section if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Planning Board that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from filing because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental entities or quasi-governmental entities; and that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the approvals. The length of the extension shall be equal to the period of delay caused by the wait for the required approvals, as determined by the Planning Board. The developer may apply for the extension either before or after what would otherwise be the expiration date.
D. The Planning Board shall grant an extension of minor
subdivision approval for a period determined by the Board but not
exceeding one year from what would otherwise be the expiration date,
if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board
that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly,
from proceeding with the development because of delays in obtaining
legally required approvals from other governmental entities and that
the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the approvals.
A developer shall apply for the extension before what would otherwise
be the expiration date of minor subdivision approval; or the 91st
day after the developer receives the last legally required approval
from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later.
