A Zoning Board of Adjustment to consist of seven members and
two alternate members is hereby established as authorized by N.J.S.A.
40:55D-69 et seq. with powers and duties as prescribed in N.J.S.A.
40:55D-70 through 40:55D-76, as amended, together with further powers,
duties and jurisdiction which may hereafter be delegated to it by
the Legislature. Alternate members shall be designated Alternate No.
1 and Alternate No. 2 and shall serve in rotation during the absence
or disqualification of any regular member or members.
In the granting of special use permits, hardship variances or
land use variances under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70, a time limit of one year
from the date of approval shall be set within which time the owner
shall secure a building permit from the Construction Official and
must commence construction which shall be diligently pursued or become
void.
No building permit shall be issued for any residential, commercial,
public or quasi-public structure until the site plan has been reviewed
and approved by the Planning Board except that the approval of a site
plan for a single family and two family dwelling or minor repairs
and alterations shall not be necessary. All site plans in the CBD
Zone, however, shall be reviewed. The Planning Board shall review
the proposal, determine whether or not the applicable standards provided
by this Ordinance have been observed, note objections to such parts
of the plans as do not meet the standards, make corrections and recommendations
for desired changes to effect compliance with the Ordinance, be satisfied
that the site plan represents the most desirable alternative for development
of the site in compliance with the Ordinance, and when satisfied that
the site plan complies with the requirements of this Ordinance, shall
approve the site plan.
