warehouses and other storage buildings or transshipment points.
Any open space area within or related to a site designated

of residents and owners of the development. Common open space may
contain such complementary structures and improvements as are necessary
and appropriate for the use or enjoyment of residents and owners of
the development.
A man-made or natural depression below ground level designed
to collect surface and subsurface water so that it might impede its
flow and to gradually release the same at a rate not greater than
that prior to the development of the property, into natural or man-made
outlets (i.e., the storm sewer system or stream).
The removal of surface water or groundwater from land by
drains, grading or other means and includes control of runoff to minimize
erosion and sedimentation during and after construction or development
and means necessary for water supply preservation or prevention or
alleviation of flooding.
Land designated for use for the installation of stormwater
sewers or drainage ditches, or delineated along a natural stream or
watercourse for the purpose of preserving the channel and providing
for the flow of water therein, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 58:1-1

The detachment and movement of soil or rock fragments by
water, wind, ice and gravity.
A detailed and accurate map of a development that is submitted
for final approval and record in accordance with the provisions of

in the history, architecture, archaeology or culture of this state,
its communities or the nation and has been so designated pursuant

grading; road improvements, including curbing, base course(s) and
other site improvements necessary to the health and safety of site
occupants or visitors to the site (customers, employees or others),

or establishment of owner association, as the case may be.
Any security, other than cash, which may be accepted for
the maintenance of any improvements as required by this chapter.

prior to the adoption, revision or amendment of a zoning ordinance,
but which fails to conform to the requirements of the zoning district

guaranty in cash.

municipal agency, board of education, state or county agency or other
public body for recreational or conservational uses.
