a.
Prior to the submittal of a formal plan, the applicant for subdivision
or site plan may request an informal review before a meeting of the
Land Use Board in order to:
1.
Acquaint the applicant with the substantive and procedural requirements
of the Subdivision and Site Plan Ordinance;
2.
Provide for an exchange of information regarding the proposed development
plan and applicable elements of the Master Plan, Zoning Ordinance
and other development requirements;
3.
Advise the applicant of any public sources of information that may
aid the application;
4.
Identify policies and regulations that create opportunities or pose
significant constraints for the proposed development;
5.

The concept plan is a general plan that is neither fully engineered
nor surveyed. The plan or plat should be sufficiently detailed to
allow the Board to make suggestions on general site design and layout
for circulation, stormwater management, location of open space and
buffers, and building arrangements and to determine how the proposal
meets the Borough's development goals and objectives.
d.
Effect of informal review. Neither the applicant nor the Board is
bound by any informal review. The suggestions made at the informal
review may change. The applicant may request a review or an additional
informal review based upon new information prior to submission of
a formal application for development. The amount of any fees for the
first informal review only shall be a credit toward fees for review
of the application for development.

The time limit within which the Board shall act shall be the longest
time permitted for either of the two (2) approvals.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.1]
The applicant shall submit a final plat or final plan to the
Administrative Secretary within three (3) years after the date of
the preliminary approval or any authorized extension thereof.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.2]
b.
The Administrative Secretary, within five (5) days of the certification
of completeness of an application for final approval, shall forward
copies of the plan or plat to the following officials for review and
comment where appropriate:
c.
The Board shall also have the authority to refer any plan or plat
to other agencies or individuals for comment or recommendations.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.3]
The officials and agencies shall forward their comments and
recommendations to the Board within thirty (30) days from the receipt
of the final plat or site plan or by the date of the scheduled public
hearing.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.4]
At the time that the application is deemed complete, the Administrative
Secretary shall set a date for the public hearing and notify the applicant
of said date. After such notification the applicant shall follow the
procedures established in this chapter with respect to the notice
of hearing.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.5]
a.
The Board shall grant final approval if the detailed drawings, specifications
and estimates of the application for final approval conform to the
standards established by ordinance for final approval, the conditions
for preliminary approval, and, in the case of a major subdivision,
the standards prescribed in the Map Filing Law. In the case of a planned
unit development, planned unit residential development or residential
cluster, the Board may permit minimal deviations from the conditions
of preliminary approval necessitated by change of conditions beyond
the control of the developer since the date of preliminary approval
without the developer being required to submit another application
for development for preliminary approval.
b.
Final approval shall be approved, conditionally approved or denied
within forty-five (45) days after submission of a complete application
or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant.
Failure of the Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute
final approval and a certificate of the Administrative Officer as
to the failure of the Board to act shall be issued on request of the
applicant. Said certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of the written
endorsement or other evidence of approval, herein required, and, in
the case of subdivision plans, shall be so accepted by the County
Recording Officer for purposes of filing.
c.
Whenever review or approval of the application by the County Planning
Board is required, the Board shall condition its approval upon timely
receipt of a favorable report on the application by the County Planning
Board or approval by the County Planning Board by its failure to report
thereon within the required time period.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.6]
a.
The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first
granted and all other rights conferred upon the developer, whether
conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two
(2) years after the date on which the resolution of final approval
was adopted; provided that in the case of major subdivision the rights
conferred by this section shall expire if the plat has not been duly
recorded within the required time period. If the developer has followed
the standards prescribed for final approval and has duly recorded
the plat with the County Recording Officer, the Board may extend such
period of protection for extensions of one (1) year but not to exceed
three (3) extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
chapter, the granting of final approval terminates the time period
of preliminary approval pursuant to this article. Final approval shall
entitle the applicant to apply for a building permit.
b.
1.
1. In the case of a subdivision or site plan for a planned development
of fifty (50) acres or more, conventional subdivision for one hundred
fifty (150) acres or more, or site plan for the development of a nonresidential
floor area of two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet or more,
the Board may grant the rights referred to in paragraph a of this
subsection for such period of time, longer than two (2) years, as
shall be determined by the Board to be reasonable, taking into consideration:
2.
The developer may apply for thereafter, and the Board may thereafter
grant, an extension of final approval for such additional period of
time as shall be determined by the Board to be reasonable taking into
consideration the following:
c.
Whenever Board grants any extension of final approval and final approval
has expired before the date on which the extension is granted, the
extension shall begin on what would otherwise be the expiration date.
The developer may apply for the extension either before or after what
would otherwise be the extension date.
d.
The Board shall grant an extension of final approval for a period
determined by the Board but not exceeding one (1) 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 these approvals. A developer shall apply for an extension
before (a) what would otherwise be the expiration date of final approval,
or (b) the ninety first (91st) day after the developer receives the
last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever
occurs later. An extension granted pursuant to this section shall
not preclude the Board from granting an extension pursuant to paragraph
a or b of this subsection.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.7]
a.
Conditions of Final Approval. The Board may, as a condition of final
approval:
1.
Grant final approval only for designated geographic sections of the
development, where development is to be phased.
2.
Grant final approval for certain work but require resubmission for
final approval for designated elements, such as but not limited to
landscaping, signs and street furniture, and require approval of these
elements as a prerequisite for a certificate of occupancy or zoning
permit.
3.
Condition the granting of a certificate of occupancy or zoning permit
subject to the applicant or developer or subsequent heirs or assignees
meeting certain requirements within a designated period of time, not
to exceed one (1) year, from the date of issuance of the Certificate
of Occupancy or zoning permit. This may include, but is not limited
to, the installation of landscaping, erection of signs, installation
of minor improvements, meeting performance standards and similar items.
A performance guaranty assuring the meeting of conditions shall be
posted by the applicant at the Board's request.
4.
Such other conditions as the Land Use Board deems appropriate.
b.
Conditions Binding. All conditions of any preliminary and final approval
shall be binding upon all present and future owners, tenants, occupants,
lessors, lessees, heirs, assignees, developers, contractors and subcontractors,
and the same shall be set forth in a developer's agreement in recordable
form and approved by the Borough Council.
c.
Failure to Maintain. All persons receiving development approval for
property or their successors in title shall be responsible for installing,
maintaining and properly utilizing on-site, off-site and off-tract
improvements required by the Board, including, but not limited to,
parking arrangements, buffer zones, drainage facilities, exterior
lighting plans and other requirements of the Board as reflected on
the plans and in the Board minutes. Failure of the property owner
to install, maintain and/or utilize improvements as provided by the
site plan approval shall constitute a violation of this chapter and
shall be subject to the enforcement procedures set forth herein.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.8]
Upon the filing of a plat showing the subdivision or resubdivision
of land, the County Recording Officer shall send a copy of such notification
to the Borough Tax Assessor at the same time that notification is
given to the Land Use Board pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-54.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.9]
If the Board favorably acts on a final plat or plan, the Chairperson, the Borough Engineer and the Administrative Secretary shall affix their signatures subject to Subsection 23-29.7 to the plat or plan with a notation that it has received final approval and shall return same to the applicant for compliance with final approval requirements and payment of all fees.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.10]
Any plats and forms required to be filed with the Somerset County
Planning Board shall be prepared by the applicant and filed by the
applicant.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.11]
a.
Final approval of a major subdivision shall expire ninety-five (95)
days from the date of signing of the plat unless within such period
the plat shall have been duly filed by the applicant with the County
Recording Officer. The Board may for good cause shown extend the period
for recording for an additional period not to exceed one hundred ninety
(190) days from the date of signing of the plat. The Board may extend
the ninety-five (95)-day or one hundred ninety (190)-day period if
the applicant proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board (1)
that the applicant 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 applicant applied promptly for and diligently pursued 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 Board. The developer may apply for an extension either before
or after the original expiration date.
b.
No subdivision plat shall be accepted for filing by the County Recording
Officer until it has been approved by the Board as indicated on the
instrument by the signature of the Chairperson, the Borough Engineer
and Administrative Secretary. The signatures of the Chairperson and
Administrative Secretary shall not be affixed until the developer
has posted the guarantees required by this chapter. If the County
records any plat without such approval, such recording shall be deemed
null and void, and upon request of the municipality, the plat shall
be expunged from the official records.
c.
It shall be the duty of the County Recording Officer to notify the
Board in writing within seven (7) days of the filing of any plat,
identifying such instrument by its title, date of filing, and official
number.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-6.12]

copies of the final plat or plan shall be filed by the Board with
the following:

The applicant may apply for variances concurrently with a subdivision
or site plan application or the applicant shall file for a variance
with the Land Use Board where no subdivision or site plan application
is required.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-7.2]
At the time when the application is deemed complete, the Administrative
Secretary shall set a date for the public hearing and notify the applicant
of said date. After such notification, the applicant shall follow
the procedures established with respect to notice of hearing.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-7.3]
a.
The Board shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny a variance
within one hundred twenty (120) days of the certification that the
application is complete unless the applicant shall extend the period
of time within which the Board may act.
b.
Failure of the Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute
approval of the application and a certificate of the Administrative
Officer as to the failure of the Board to act shall be issued on request
of the applicant. The certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of the
written endorsement or other evidence of approval, herein required,
and shall be accepted by the County Recording Officer for purposes
of filing subdivision plats or deeds.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-8]
a.
The Land Use Board shall grant or deny the application for a conditional
use within ninety-five (95) days of submission of a complete application

uses simultaneously with subdivision and site plan applications without
the applicant being required to make further application to the Land
Use Board or the Land Use Board being required to hold further hearings.
The longest time period for action by the Land Use Board, whether
it be for subdivision, conditional use or site plan approval, shall
apply. Whenever approval of a conditional use is requested by the
applicant, notice of the hearing on the plat shall include reference
to the request for conditional use approval.
[Ord. No. 751 § 26-9]
No application for development shall be deemed complete unless
