[Ord. No. 2018-11 § 4]
(a)
Notice pursuant to Section T10B-46(b)(1) shall be provided for hearings on all applications for minor subdivision. If the subdivision committee by unanimous action of all of its members present and voting finds that the application conforms to the definition of "minor subdivision" in Section T10B-2, it may classify and approve the sketch plat as a minor subdivision, a notation to that effect shall be made in the sketch plat, the applicant shall be so notified and the plat shall be forwarded to the chairman and secretary for their signatures and shall be returned to the applicant within one week following the next regular meeting of the Planning Board. Minor subdivision approval shall be deemed to be final approval of the subdivision by the Planning Board. If the minor subdivision committee does not unanimously endorse an application for approval, it shall refer it to the Planning Board who shall then review the application.
(b)
Approval may be conditioned upon terms providing for the installation
and maintenance of required on-tract improvements and the guarantee
thereof.
(c)
No minor subdivision shall be approved that involves any lot,
tract or parcel that shall have been approved as a minor subdivision
within one year of the prior approval.
[Ord. No. 2018-11 § 4]
In cases where an application for minor subdivision approval under the sketch plat procedure is combined with a related application for development that is within the jurisdiction of the Planning Board, the application for minor subdivision approval shall be referred to the Planning Board for action after review by the subdivision committee and shall be subject to the hearing and notice requirements of Divisions 4 and 5 of Article IV.
[Ord. No. 2018-11 § 4]
Before any approved sketch plat of a minor subdivision shall
be returned to the applicant, the applicant shall supply sufficient
copies to the Planning Board for distribution as follows:
[Ord. No. 2018-11 § 4]
(a)
Approval of a minor subdivision shall expire 190 days after
the date on which the resolution of approval is adopted, unless within
such period a plat in conformity with such approval and the provisions
of N.J.S.A. 46:26A-1 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 the 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.
(b)
In reviewing an application for a minor subdivision, the subdivision
committee may accept a plat not in conformity with N.J.S.A. 46:26A-1
et seq., but if the developer chooses to file the minor subdivision
as provided herein by plat rather than by deed, then such plat shall
conform with the provisions of the statute.
(c)
The developer shall file with the secretary of the Planning
Board a copy of such deed or plat with a notation thereon of the date
and index reference of such filing or recording with the county recording
officer.
[Ord. No. 2018-11 § 4]
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 years after the date
on which the resolution of approval is adopted, provided that the
approved minor subdivision shall have been duly and timely filed or
recorded.
[Ord. No. 2018-11 § 4]
If a subdivision sketch plat is classified as a major subdivision,
a notation to that effect shall be made thereon. After an opportunity
has been afforded the applicant for discussion before the Planning
Board, the plat shall be returned to the applicant for compliance
with Division 3 of this article. In the course of discussion, the
applicant may submit one or more amended sketch plats of a major subdivision
directly to the Planning Board without action by the subdivision committee.
No action of the Planning Board in such discussion shall constitute
preliminary approval of a major subdivision.
[Ord. No. 2018-11 § 4]
If the sketch plat optional procedures set forth in the preceding
section is not used, then the procedure in all cases, including minor
subdivisions, shall begin with Division 3 of this article.
