No. 485]
Appeals to the Planning Board may be taken by any interested
party affected by any decision of an administrative officer of the
municipality based on or made in the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance
or Official Map. Each appeal shall be taken within 65 days by filing
a notice of appeal with the officer from whom the appeal was taken
and three copies of said notice with the Board of Adjustment Secretary.
A developer may file an application for development with the
Planning Board for action under any of its powers without prior application
to an administrative officer. In order for such application to be
complete for purposes of commencing the applicable time period for
action by the Board pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10.3, the items set
forth in Schedules A and B must be submitted for the type of application
being made. Said schedules shall serve as checklists and be provided
to each applicant. If the applicant has submitted all information
required by this chapter and that set forth on the checklists, the
Secretary shall advise of the date the Board will hear the request,
but in no event shall such date be earlier than the 21st day following
the determination of completeness. Further, any resubmission or revision
of the plan proposed by the applicant or requested by the Board shall
likewise be submitted on the 21st day prior to any continued hearing
date. The applicant shall, if required, provide the necessary public
notice of said hearing. If any item on the checklists or any other
item required by this chapter is not provided, the application shall
be deemed incomplete and not heard. However, the applicant may request
that the Board Secretary schedule a hearing, at which time the applicant
may request a waiver from any of the items required to be submitted
pursuant to the checklists. If a waiver(s) is/are granted, a hearing
date shall be scheduled and the applicant shall advise the public
thereof, if required. However, even though a waiver from any item
is granted, the Board may subsequently require the submission thereof,
together with any other information reasonably necessary to make an
informed decision.
