Prior to the subdividing, resubdividing or consolidation of any land within the Township of White, so long as said subdivision constitutes a minor subdivision as defined in Article
II of this chapter, a minor subdivision application shall be filed in accordance with §
160-62 above, which application shall include all data and information required in §
160-63.
A. If classified and approved as a minor subdivision pursuant to the
processing procedures of the Planning Board's bylaws and ratified
by the Board, the Chairman and Secretary of the Planning Board shall
sign said minor subdivision within 30 days of such ratification, and
said approval shall be deemed to be final approval. Said minor subdivision,
after approval, shall be returned to the subdivider within one week
following the signing of said plat by the Chairman and Secretary.
B. Approval of a minor subdivision shall expire 190 days from the date
of municipal approval, 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 and the Planning Board Secretary. Any such
plat or deed accepted for such filing shall have been signed by the
Chairman and Secretary of the Planning Board. In reviewing the application
for development for a proposed minor subdivision, the Planning Board
may accept a plat not in conformity with the Map Filing Law, P.L.
1960, c. 141 (N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.), provided that, if the developer
chooses to file the approved minor subdivision as provided herein
by plat rather than deed, such plat shall conform to the provisions
of said law.
C. 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 of minor subdivision approval, provided that the approved minor
subdivision shall have been duly recorded as provided in this section.
D. If the application for a minor subdivision is classified as a major
subdivision, the subdivider will be so notified. No further Planning
Board action on the application shall be required, and the subdivider
shall follow the procedures contained herein for processing of a major
subdivision.

Prior to the issuance of a building permit, zoning permit or certificate of occupancy for any development as provided in §
160-62 of Article
IX and classified as a minor site plan as defined in §
160-5 of this chapter, an application for minor site plan shall be filed with the Secretary of the Planning Board which shall contain all the data and information indicated on the checklist addendum for a minor site plan.
A. If classified and approved as a minor site plan by unanimous action
of the Site Plan Committee, a notation to that effect will be made
on the minor site plan. The Chairman of the Site Plan Committee shall
then forward one copy of the signed minor site plan to the Planning
Board for its files. Said approval shall be noted in the minutes of
the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Planning Board following
receipt of the Site Plan Committee report. The Chairman and Secretary
of the Planning Board shall sign said minor site plan if approved
by the Site Plan Committee, and said approval shall be deemed to be
final approval of the site plan, provided that the Site Plan Committee
or the Planning Board may condition such approval on terms ensuring
the provision of improvements pursuant to P.L. 1975, c. 291 (N.J.S.A.
40:55D-1 et seq.). Said minor site plan, after approval, shall be
returned to the applicant within one week following the signing of
said site plan by the Chairman and Secretary.
B. The zoning requirements and general terms and conditions, whether
conditional or otherwise, upon which minor site plan approval was
granted, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the
date of minor site plan approval.
C. If the application for a minor site plan is classified as a major
site plan by the Site Plan Committee, the applicant shall be so notified.
No further Planning Board action on the application shall be required,
and the applicant shall follow the procedures contained herein for
processing approval of a preliminary and final application of a major
site plan.
Any application for approval of a preliminary plat or preliminary site plan shall be filed in accordance with §
160-62 of this Article
IX and shall contain all information as required in §
160-63B or
E, as the case may be. The Subdivision or Site Plan Committee shall report to the Planning Board on subdivisions and site plans as appropriate.
A. If the Committee processing the application finds that said application is in substantial compliance with the provisions of this chapter, it shall so report to the Board, and the Planning Board shall schedule a hearing on the application pursuant to Article
VI of this chapter. If the application is found to be not in compliance, it shall so inform the applicant and shall require the filing of an amended application which shall be processed as in the case of the original application.
B. If the Planning Board requires any substantial amendment in the layout
of improvements proposed by the developer that have been the subject
of the hearing, an amended application shall be submitted and processed,
as in the case of the original application. After the Planning Board
is satisfied that the proposed application, together with any conditions
as imposed by the Board, meets all of the conditions of this chapter,
it shall grant preliminary approval.
C. Preliminary approval shall, except as provided in Subsection
C(4) of this section, confer upon the applicant the following approval:
(1) That the general terms and conditions on which preliminary approval was granted shall not be changed, including but not limited to use requirements; layout and design standards for streets, curbs and sidewalks; lot size; yard dimensions; and off-tract improvements; and, in the case of a site plan, any requirements peculiar to site plan approval pursuant to §
160-64B, except that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Township of White from modifying, by ordinance, such general terms and conditions of preliminary approval as relate to public health and safety.
(2) That the applicant may submit for final approval, on or before the
expiration date of preliminary approval, the whole or a section or
sections of the preliminary subdivision plat or site plan, as the
case may be.
(3) That the applicant may apply for and the Planning Board may grant
extensions on such preliminary approval for additional periods of
at least one year but not to exceed a total extension of two years,
provided that if the design standards have been revised by ordinance,
such revised standards may govern.
(4) In the case of a subdivision of or site plan for an area of 50 acres or more, the Planning Board may grant the rights referred to in Subsection
C(1),
(2) and
(3) above for such period of time longer than three years as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable, taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under preliminary approval, economic conditions and the complexity of the development. The applicant may apply for thereafter and the Planning Board may thereafter grant an extension to preliminary approval for such additional period of time as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable, taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under preliminary approval; the potential number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area of the section or sections awaiting final approval; economic conditions; and the complexity of the development, provided that, if the design standards have been revised, such revised standards may govern.
D. Prior to granting approval to a preliminary plat, the applicant shall
furnish the Planning Board with the following certifications:
(1) Certification from the Board of Health or other approving agency
approving the method and type of sewage disposal and water supply.
(2) In a development served by public water, hydrants are to be so located

of the Insurance Services Office of New Jersey, and certification
to that effect from that agency shall be submitted.

in the water main in front of the dwelling of not less than 30 pounds
per square inch. Certification to that effect from either the serving
utility or the Insurance Services Office of New Jersey shall be submitted.

or public utility system, certification from the appropriate agency
that it has consented to such method of service and copies of all
agreements or written consent from private utilities undertaking to
provide such services.
(5) Such other certifications as may be necessary and required by the
Board to determine the suitability of the subdivision.
