Upon receipt of an application for a major subdivision, together with the required supporting documents and payment of the prescribed fee, the Clerk shall forthwith submit to the Secretary who shall submit one copy of the application and supporting documentation each to 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 and whether the application is in compliance with all requirements of applicable laws and ordinances.

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, in the case of a major subdivision of 10 or fewer lots, 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.
The applicant, where required, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.3, shall comply with the provisions of §

The final plat, titled as such, shall be submitted
in the form of one linen or Mylar, two cloth and nine black-on-white
paper prints on sheets of uniform size of one of four standard sizes
[namely, 30 inches by 42 inches, 24 inches by 36 inches, 15 inches
by 21 inches or 8 1/2 inches by 13 inches], provided that when

scale of not less than one inch equals 200 feet, and in compliance
with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq. (Map Filing Law),
as amended. The final plat shall show the same information required
for preliminary approval, in addition to the following:
A. Tract boundary lines, streets, sight triangles, easements
and other rights-of-way, street names, land reserved or dedicated
to public use, all lot lines and other site lines with accurate dimensions,
bearing or deflection angles and radii, arcs and center angles of
all curves shall all be based on an actual survey by a land surveyor
licensed to practice in the State of New Jersey. All dimensions, both
linear and angular, of the exterior boundaries of the subdivision
shall be balanced and closed within a limit of error of one to 10,000
and of all lot lines to within one to 20,000. All dimensions, angles
and bearings given on the map must be referred to at least one permanent
monument, which shall be indicated on the map.

on the plat as to how the bearings were determined. All lot corners
shall be marked with a metal alloy pin of permanent character.
F. Any changes between the information set forth in the
preliminary plat and that which has actually been effected.
Final approval of a major subdivision shall
expire 95 days from the date of signing of the plat unless within
such period the plat shall have been duly filed by the developer with
the County Clerk. The Planning Board may for good cause shown extend
the period for recording for an additional period not to exceed 190
days from the date of signing of the plat.
Before granting preliminary approval of an application for a major 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 in 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 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.
