An application for development shall be complete for purposes of commencing the applicable time period for action by the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment or its authorized committee or designee. A complete application shall include an application form completed as specified by this section and the rules and regulations of the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment and all accompanying information and documents required for approval of the application for development as indicated on the checklist adopted by ordinance and provided to the applicant.
(1) 
No subdivision and/or site plan application shall be deemed complete unless the land subject to the proposed subdivision and/or site plan is serviced by both public sanitary sewer and public water. Applicants shall be required, as a condition of completeness for all subdivision and site plan applications, to obtain public sanitary sewer and public water utility certifications allocating capacity to the subdivision and/or site plan from the approving authority. A sanitary sewer capacity allocation and connection or collection system upgrade or expansion approval resolution to serve the proposed development must be obtained from the Township Council of the Township of Saddle Brook. A water main extension agreement or will-serve letter must be obtained from the serving water utility company.
(2) 
Where the need for off-tract public sanitary sewer and/or water utility service improvements are required by the proposed subdivision or site plan, the applicant shall, as a condition of application completeness and at the applicant's sole cost and expense, obtain all lands and/or easements located outside the development property boundaries. Such lands and/or easements, upon completion and acceptance of the off-tract utility improvements, shall be dedicated to the Township of Saddle Brook and/or the water utility company.
(3) 
In the event that the agency, committee or designee does not certify the application to be complete within 45 days of the date of its submission, the application shall be deemed complete upon the expiration of the forty-five-day period for purposes of commencing the applicable time period, unless the application lacks information indicated on a checklist as hereinafter specified, a copy of which shall have been provided to the applicant, and the municipal agency or its authorized committee or designee has notified the applicant in writing of the deficiencies in the application within 45 days of submission of the application. The applicant may request that one or more of the submission requirements be waived, in which event the agency or its authorized committee shall grant or deny the request within 45 days. Nothing herein shall be construed as diminishing the applicant's obligation to prove in the application process that he is entitled to approval of the application. The municipal agency may subsequently require correction of any information found to be in error and submission of additional information not specified in the chapter or any revisions in the accompanying documents as are reasonably necessary to make an informed decision as to whether the requirements necessary for the approval of the application for development have been met. The application shall not be deemed incomplete for lack of any such additional information or any revisions in the accompanying documents so required by the agency.
B. 
All checklist requirements for all applications for development are contained in Chapter A214 of the Code of the Township of Saddle Brook and are presently on file and on forms in the Municipal Office of the Township of Saddle Brook, and said checklists are hereby incorporated by reference as if the same were set forth at length within the chapter. The checklists previously adopted by ordinance for use in connection with applications filed with the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment are to be amended by including therein the following as conditions to be satisfied or waived prior to an application being deemed complete under the provisions of the Municipal Land Use Law:
