Any owner of land within the Borough of Bloomingdale shall,
prior to subdividing or resubdividing land as defined in this chapter
and before conveying legal or equitable title to such subdivision
or any part thereof, apply to the Planning Board (or to the Board
of Adjustment for applications relative to a use variance) for review
and approval of the subdivision plat pursuant to the provisions of
this chapter.
The Planning Board may waive notice of the public hearing for
an application for development if the Planning Board finds that the
application for development conforms to the definition of a minor
subdivision.
In granting preliminary or final subdivision approval in connection with a use variance, the Board of Adjustment shall follow the same procedures as the Planning Board as contained in Article
VI, §§
69-44 and
69-45, except as follows, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-76:
A. No variance or other relief shall be granted under the terms of this section unless such variance or other relief can be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and will not substantially impair the intent and purpose of the zone plan and Zoning Ordinance, Chapter
92 of the Code. An application under this section may be referred to any appropriate person or agency, including the Planning Board pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-26, for its report, provided that such reference shall not extend the period of time within which the Board of Adjustment shall act.
B. Upon submission to the Board Secretary of a complete application
for preliminary or final approval for a subdivision, the Board of
Adjustment shall grant or deny preliminary or final approval, as the
case may be, within 120 days of the date of such submission or within
such further time as may be consented by the developer. In the event
that the developer elects to submit separate consecutive applications,
the aforesaid provision shall apply to the application for approval
of the variance. The period for granting or denying any subsequent
approval shall be as otherwise provided in this chapter. Failure of
the Board of Adjustment to act within the period prescribed shall
constitute approval of the application.
No building permit shall be issued for a lot which is included
in any subdivision until after final approval by the Planning Board
or Board of Adjustment, as provided in this chapter, and until after
the proper and timely filing with the County Recording Officer.
