The applicant shall submit to the Clerk, at the time of submission of an application for a minor subdivision, payment of the fee provided in §
244-50.
Upon receipt of an application for a minor subdivision, together with the required supporting documents and payment of the prescribed fee, the Clerk shall forthwith submit it to the Secretary, who shall submit one copy of the application and supporting documentation each to the Planning Board Subdivision Committee, the City Engineer and to the Attorney for the Planning Board for a report thereon to the Planning Board. These reports shall be submitted to the Planning Board at least two days prior to the meeting of the Planning Board at which the application will be considered. These reports shall comment on the completeness of the application in conformity with this chapter, whether or not the application meets the standards of a minor subdivision and whether or not the application is in compliance with all requirements of applicable laws and ordinances. The Engineer shall also advise as to the likelihood of off-tract improvements being required and, if such shall be the case, shall advise the City Commission which shall then act pursuant to §
244-42. The Secretary shall also set down the application on the agenda of the Planning Board meeting next following 14 days from the date of submission of the complete application and shall advise the applicant of such date. In the event that the Secretary determines that a literal compliance with the time requirements of this section will cause the application to be considered by the Planning Board not within 45 days of the submission of the application, the Secretary shall so advise the Planning Board at its next meeting and the Planning Board shall schedule a special meeting for consideration of the application within the forty-five-day period.
Not later than seven days after submission of
the application for a minor subdivision to the Clerk, the applicant,
where required pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.3, shall submit a copy
of the application and all supporting documentation to the Burlington
County Planning Board for review and approval. The applicant shall
then promptly certify to the Secretary that such submission has been
properly made.
Before granting approval of an application for a minor subdivision, the Planning Board shall require the applicant to deposit with the city the inspection fees provided in §
244-50 to compensate the City Engineer for performing an inspection of the sidewalk, curb, street and storm drainage improvements and other appropriate improvements. After approval and after the applicant has initiated construction thereof, the City Engineer shall make the inspections and submit written reports with respect to the results of such inspections to both the Secretary of the Planning Board, the City Construction Official and the applicant. Additionally, the City Engineer shall advise the Secretary and the applicant of his inspection fees. Thereafter the inspection fees shall be paid from the deposit. If the applicant should decide to permanently discontinue work on the subdivision in question before its completion, he may make written application to the Planning Board for the refund of the unencumbered portion of the deposit. Submission of this application shall constitute a waiver of all rights which may have accrued to him with respect to the subdivision covered by that application.
