[Amended 2-6-2001 by Ord. No. 01-01; 6-29-2004 by Ord. No. 04-22]
Chapter
191, Fee Schedule, shall apply to applications for development, said fees to be paid to the City of Englewood prior to any action being taken by any municipal agency respecting said application.
With respect to all applications from major subdivisions and
site plan approvals, the municipal agency shall condition any such
approval upon the execution of a developer's agreement between the
municipal agency, the applicant and the City of Englewood specifying,
in part, off-site, on-tract or off-tract improvements, public improvements,
bonding requirements, escrow requirements, other conditions imposed
by the municipal agency and such other terms and conditions as the
City and the municipal agency deem appropriate. The municipal agency
may waive the requirement of a developer's agreement in appropriate
circumstances, subject to the consent of the City Council. Unless
so waived, no certificate of occupancy or building permit shall be
issued respecting any application for development requiring major
subdivision or site plan approval unless the applicant has entered
into a developer's agreement of a form specified herein.
[Added 10-5-1992 by Ord. No. 92-28]
No application for development shall be approved by the municipal agency unless the applicant submits proof that no taxes or assessments for local improvements are due or delinquent on the property for which the application for development is made or unless such approval is conditioned upon submission of such proof prior to the issuance of any municipal permits for said development. Proof that no taxes or assessments for local improvements are due or delinquent on said property may be obtained from the Receiver of Taxes of the City of Englewood upon application therefor, in accordance with the provisions of Article
3 of Chapter 5 of Title 54 of the Revised Statutes (N.J.S.A. 54:5-11 et seq.) relating to official searches for municipal liens.
