Board/Zoning Board of Adjustment shall require any applicant for a
major or minor residential subdivision, as a condition of approval
of such application, to include as a provision in each public offering
statement and homeowner documents, as well as each and every deed
conveying all or a portion of the lands thereby subdivided, as well
as on the final subdivision map, the following record notice to prospective
purchasers and grantees of such present or future nonresidential use:
"The prospective purchaser and/or grantee, by accepting the within
document, hereby acknowledges notice that there are presently, or
in the future may be, nonresidential uses conducted on adjacent properties,
or in close proximity to the within described premises, or neighboring
zoning districts, from which may emanate or which may generate by-products
such as, but not limited to, noise, odors, fumes, dust, traffic, glare,
etc., which are attendant and accessory to or arise from the conduct
of such permitted uses."
