A. 
A developer who seeks subdivision approval shall submit to the Secretary of the Planning Board, at least three (3) weeks prior to the regular meeting of the Planning Board, twelve (12) copies of the sketch plat of the proposed subdivision for purposes of classification and preliminary discussion by the members of the Planning Board and, if necessary, by the members of the Planning Board and, if necessary, by the members of the Planning Board and, if necessary, by the members of the Planning Board and the applicant, applicant's agent or representative. Prior to consideration by the Planning Board, copies of the sketch plat shall be forwarded by the Secretary of the Planning Board to each of the following:
1. 
Borough Engineer: two (2) copies.
2. 
Construction Code Official: one (1) copy.
3. 
Such other Borough, County or State officials, as directed by the Planning Board: one (1) copy each.
4. 
Members of the Planning Board: remaining copies.
B. 
All sketch plats submitted pursuant to this section shall be accompanied by a properly completed application for sketch plat review, as well as the appropriate fee set forth in § 40-704. The sketch plat shall be designed and drawn by a licensed New Jersey land surveyor or professional engineer and shall be based on Tax Map information or some other similarly accurate base at a scale of not less than fifty (50) feet to the inch and shall comply with N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq., as amended, and shall show or include the following information:
1. 
The name of the professional engineer or land surveyor who has drawn the sketch plat.
2. 
The location of that portion which is to be divided in relation to the entire street.
3. 
All existing structures and wooded areas within the portion to be subdivided and within two hundred (200) feet thereof.
4. 
The name of the owner and of all adjoining property owners as disclosed by the most recent Borough tax records.
5. 
The Tax Map sheet, block and lot numbers.
6. 
All streets or roads and streams within five hundred (500) feet of the subdivision, including the extent of paving of all such streets.
7. 
The proposed lot layout, lot dimensions and total areas of each lot.
8. 
Proposed use of the requested subdivision.
9. 
Location of any proposed building or buildings.
10. 
Any other pertinent information deemed necessary by the Planning Board in the consideration of the proposed subdivision.

12. 
Sufficient elevations and contours at five-foot intervals for slopes averaging ten (10%) percent or greater, and at one-foot intervals with lands at lesser slopes to determine the general slope and natural drainage of land and high and low points.
C. 
The Planning Board shall waive notice and public hearing for an application for development if the Subdivision Committee of the Planning Board appointed by the Chairman finds that the application for development conforms to the definition of "minor subdivision" in § 40-601 of Part 2 of this chapter. Minor subdivision approval shall be deemed to be final approval of the subdivision by the Board, provided that the Board or the Subdivision Committee may condition such approval on terms ensuring the provision of improvements pursuant to § 40-1301 of Part 2 of this chapter.
D. 
Minor subdivision approval shall be granted or denied within forty-five (45) days of the date of submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the Planning Board, or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. For the purposes of this section, a complete application for minor subdivision approval shall consist of those items set forth in Subsection B above. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute minor subdivision approval, and a certificate of the Secretary of the Planning Board as to the failure of the Planning Board to act shall be issued on request to the applicant, and it shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement or other evidence of approval as required herein, and shall be so accepted by the County Recording Officer for purposes of filing subdivision plats.
E. 
If the plat is classified as a major subdivision, a notation to that effect shall be made on the plat, which shall be returned to the subdivider for compliance with the procedures hereinafter set forth concerning applications for preliminary approval of major subdivisions.
F. 
Approval of minor subdivisions shall expire one hundred ninety (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, 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, the Municipal Engineer and Municipal 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 accept a plat not in conformity with the Map Filing Law, provided that if the developer chooses to file the minor subdivision as provided herein by plat rather than deed, such plat shall conform to the provisions of the law.
G. 
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 (2) years after the date of minor subdivision approval, provided that the approved minor subdivision shall have been duly recorded as provided herein.
