[Amended 6-12-2000 by Ord. No. 00-10]
No building permit shall be issued by the Construction Official
for any dwelling, building or structure within the subdivision until
final approval has been granted by the Approving Board and a zoning
permit has been obtained. A permit from the Soil Conservation Service
shall be required for any disturbance to the soil in excess of 5,000
square feet.
No certificate of occupancy for any land or structure shall
be granted until all required improvements or conditions of approval
have been met, installed or completed. A temporary certificate of
occupancy may be issued only for a specific period, upon such conditions
as the Township Engineer may impose, such as bonding, to ensure the
completion or installation of any such improvements unfinished because
of weather or unforeseen delay. The installation of any required public
or private improvements may also be delayed if the Township Engineer
warrants, in writing, to the Construction Official that the delay
is in the best interests of the township.
[Amended 6-12-2000 by Ord. No. 00-10]
A. No land shall be used, no use shall be commenced and no structure
shall be erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered or converted
and no land, use or structure shall be changed from an existing use
to a new use until a zoning permit is issued by the Zoning Officer,
stating that such use, structure or building conforms and complies
with the provisions of this chapter or that a variance has been granted
from the appropriate provisions of this chapter by a board of competent
jurisdiction or that a soil permit has been obtained from the Soil
Conservation Service if soil disturbance in excess of 5,000 square
feet is contemplated.
B. If the structure, land or use is located within an area of wetlands
or transition zone and the proposed structure or use would disturb
such land, then no such permit shall be issued unless the applicant
has submitted either:
(1) A letter of interpretation issued by the Department of Environmental
Protection determining that the site of the proposed activity is not
in a freshwater wetland or transition area;
(2) A general permit authorizing the proposed activity issued pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 13:9B-23c(3) and rules adopted by the Department of Environmental
Protection; or
(3) An individual permit authorizing the proposed activity issued pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 13:9B-23g and rules adopted by the Department of Environmental
Protection.
C. The action of the Zoning Officer in issuing a zoning permit shall
not be construed as a confirmation of the presence or absence of freshwater
wetlands or transition zone areas on the site of the proposed activity.
