A. 
The prospective purchaser, prospective mortgagee or any other person interested in any land which forms part of a subdivision or which formed part of such a subdivision three (3) years preceding August 1, 1976, may apply in writing to the Borough Clerk for the issuance of a certificate certifying whether or not such subdivision has been approved by the Planning Board. Such application shall contain a diagram showing the location and dimension of the land to be covered by the certificate and the name of the owner thereof.
B. 
The Borough Clerk shall make and issue such certificate within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such written application and the fees therefor. The officer shall keep a duplicate copy of each certificate, consecutively numbered, including a statement of the fee charged, in a binder as a permanent record of his or her office.
C. 
Each such certificate shall be designated "a certificate as to approval of subdivision of land" and shall certify:
1. 
That there exists in the Borough of Roselle Park a duly established Planning Board and that there is an ordinance controlling subdivision of land adopted under the authority of the Municipal Land Use Law of 1975. (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.)
2. 
Whether the subdivision, as it relates to the land shown in the application, has been approved by the Planning Board and, if so, the date of such approval and any extensions and terms thereof, showing that subdivision of which the lands are a part is a validly existing subdivision.
3. 
Whether such subdivision, if the same has not been approved, is statutorily exempt from the requirement of approval as provided in N.J.S.A. 40:55D.
D. 
The Borough Clerk shall be entitled to demand and receive for such certificate issued by him a reasonable fee not in excess of those provided in N.J.S.A. 54:5-14 and 5-15. The fees so collected by the Borough Clerk shall be paid by him or her to the Borough.
