These rules, regulations and standards shall
be considered the minimum requirements for the protection of the public
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Township. If an
applicant can clearly demonstrate that, because of peculiar conditions
pertaining to the land, the literal enforcement of one or more of
the regulations within this chapter is impracticable or will exact
undue hardship, the appropriate municipal agency may permit one or
more exceptions as may be reasonable and within the general purpose
and intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by
this chapter.
For any and every violation of the provisions of this chapter, the owner, contractor or other person or persons interested as lessee, tenants or otherwise, in any building or premises where such violations have been committed or shall exist, and who refuses to abate such violation within five days after written notice has been served, either by registered mail or by personal service, shall be subject to a fine as set forth in §§
150-103 and
150-104.
In case any building or structure is erected,
constructed, reconstructed, altered, moved or converted; or any building,
structure or land is used in violation of or contrary to the provisions
of this chapter, the Township may institute an action to enjoin or
any other appropriate action or proceeding to prevent such erection,
construction, reconstruction, alteration, conversion or use. However,
nothing in this chapter shall be construed to restrict the right of
any party to obtain a review by any court of competent jurisdiction
according to law.
If, before final subdivision approval has been
granted, any person, as owner or agent, transfers or sells or agrees
to transfer or sell any land which forms a part of a subdivision for
which municipal approval is required in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter, except pursuant to an agreement expressly conditioned
on final subdivision approval, such person shall be subject to the
requirements of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-55.
