These rules, regulations and standards shall be considered the minimum requirements for the protection, promotion and conservation of the public health, morals, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the Borough of Englishtown. Any action taken by the Unified Planning/Zoning Board under the terms of this chapter shall give primary consideration to the above-mentioned matters and to the welfare of the entire community. However, if the subdivider or developer can clearly demonstrate that, because of peculiar conditions pertaining to his land, the literal enforcement of one or more of these regulations is impractical or will exact undue hardship, the Unified Planning/Zoning Board may permit such waiver or waivers as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by this chapter and as shall not be in conflict with the provisions of any other ordinance of the Borough of Englishtown.
All applications for minor and major subdivisions filed prior to the effective date of this chapter on which preliminary and/or final subdivision approval has not been granted shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter.
Immediately upon adoption of this amended chapter, the Borough Clerk shall file a copy of this chapter with the County Planning Board as required by law. Any amendments or supplements adopted by the Borough of Englishtown in the future shall also be filed with the County Planning Board as required by law.
