An appeal from any final decision of the Land Use Board granting
a use variance, pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70(d),
may be taken to the Township Committee, provided such appeal shall
be made within 10 days of the date of publication of such final decision
of the Land Use Board. Such appeal shall be made by serving the Township
Clerk in person, or by certified mail, with the notice of appeal,
together with a filing fee of $100 and such appeal shall be made in
accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-17.
Any appellant shall, within five days of service of the notice
of appeal as hereinabove provided, arrange for a typed or written
transcript to be prepared, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10, for use
by the Township Committee and shall pay a deposit of $50 or the estimated
cost of such transcript, whichever is less. If the appellant is not
