If the plat is classified as a major subdivision at a regular Planning Board meeting, a notation to that effect shall be made on the plat, a copy of which shall then be returned to the subdivider for compliance with the procedure in Article
XV, Filing Procedure.
Before the Subdivision Committee of the Planning Board considers
any minor subdivision pursuant to this article, the Health Officer
shall have approved each lot as capable of proper sewage disposal,
either by being connectable to the public sewage disposal system or
by use of some other approved method pursuant to local regulations
and by Chapter 199 of the Laws of 1954 (N.J.S.A. 58:11-23 et seq.).
[Amended by Ord. No. 9-81]
Upon approval of the minor subdivision by the Planning Board,
the Chairman, Secretary and Township Engineer shall affix their signatures
to the plats.
[Amended by Ord. No. 16-92]
A. Except as provided in Subsection
C herein, approval of a minor subdivision shall expire 190 days from the date on which the resolution of municipal approval is adopted unless within such period a plat in conformity with such approval and the provisions of the Map Filing Law, N.J.S.A. 46:26B-1 et seq. (L. 2011, c. 217) or a deed clearly describing the approved minor subdivision is filed by the developer with the County Recording Officer, the Township Engineer and the Township Tax Assessor. 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 be permitted by ordinance to accept a plat not in conformity with the Map Filing Law, N.J.S.A. 46:26B-1 et seq. (L. 2011, c. 217); provided that if the developer chooses to file the minor subdivision as provided herein by plat rather than deed, such plat shall conform with the provisions of said act.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. III)]
B. 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 on which the resolution of minor subdivision approval is adopted;
provided that the approved minor subdivision shall have been duly
recorded as provided in this section.
C. The Planning Board may extend the one-hundred-ninety-day period for filing a minor subdivision plat or deed pursuant to Subsection
A if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Planning Board (1) that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from filing because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental entities and (2) that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the required approvals. The length of the extension shall be equal to the period of delay caused by the wait for the required approvals, as determined by the Planning Board. The developer may apply for the extension either before or after what would otherwise be the expiration date.
D. The Planning Board shall grant an extension of minor subdivision
approval for a period determined by the Board, but not exceeding one
year from what would otherwise be the expiration date, if the developer
proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board that the developer
was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from proceeding with
the development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals
from other governmental entities and that the developer applied promptly
for and diligently pursued the required approvals. A developer shall
apply for the extension before (1) what would otherwise by the expiration
date of minor subdivision approval or (2) the ninety-first day after
the developer receives the last legally required approval from other
governmental entities, whichever occurs later.
