A. 
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both.

[Amended 3-20-1985 by Ord. No. O-6-85]
B. 
Any corporation or partnership which conceals the names of the stockholders owning 10% or more of its stock, or of the individual partners owning a ten-percent or greater interest in the partnership, as the case may be, shall be subject to a fine of $1,000 to $10,000, which shall be recovered in the name of the Township in any court of record in the state in a summary manner pursuant to the Penalty Enforcement Law (N.J.S.A. 2A:58-1 et seq.).
C. 
If, before final subdivision approval has been granted, any person transfers or sells or agrees to transfer or sell, except pursuant to an agreement expressly conditioned on final subdivision approval, as owner or agent, any land which forms a part of a subdivision for which Township approval is required by ordinance pursuant to this Act, such person shall be subject to a penalty not to exceed $1,000, and each lot disposition so made may be deemed a separate violation.
A. 
The penalties set forth in § 175-164 shall not be the exclusive remedy available, and nothing in this chapter shall prevent the application for and obtaining of injunctive relief as set forth below.
B. 
In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building, structure or land is used in violation of this chapter or of any other ordinance or other regulation made under authority conferred hereby, the proper local authorities of the Township or an interested party, in addition to other remedies, may institute any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, conversion, maintenance or use, to restrain, correct or abate such violation, to prevent the occupancy of said building, structure or land, and to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use in or about such premises.
C. 
Civil action.
(1) 
In addition to the foregoing, the Township may institute and maintain a civil action:
(a) 
For injunctive relief, and
(b) 
To set aside and invalidate any conveyance made pursuant to a contract of sale and before final subdivision approval has been granted if a certificate of compliance has not been issued in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-56.
(2) 
In any action, the transferee, purchaser or grantee shall be entitled to a lien upon the portion of the land from which the subdivision was made that remains in the possession of the developer or his assigns or successors, to secure the return of any deposits made or purchase price paid, and also a reasonable search fee, survey expense and title closing expense, if any. Any such action must be brought within two years after the date of the recording of the instrument of transfer, sale or conveyance of said land or within six years, if unrecorded.
D. 
Neither the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment nor the Township Council shall approve the application of any corporation or partnership which does not comply with this Act.
E. 
The Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment, as the case may be, may by resolution rescind a prior resolution approving a subdivision or site plan if the applicant fails to comply with the conditions of said approving resolution or if another referring authority imposes conditions contrary to the original resolution.
A. 
Any variance granted under this chapter by the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment, if not commenced, shall be automatically null and void upon the expiration of the time period set forth hereunder unless the Board granting such variance specifically restricts or allows a length of time varying from that mandated by this section by expressly stating the same in the resolution thereof.
B. 
When a variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment pursuant to § 175-30A(3) and (4), and such application is not in conjunction with a subdivision, site plan or conditional use approval in accordance with § 175-31B, then the successful applicant must, within one year from the date of such favorable determination, commence development as approved. If the successful applicant has not commenced development within the above-mentioned year, said variance is automatically null and void unless said applicant shall receive from the Zoning Board of Adjustment a renewal not to exceed one year of the determination. If at the end of the extension an applicant has not commenced development, that variance is automatically null and void and may not be further renewed.
C. 
When a variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment in conjunction with subdivision, site plan or conditional use approval pursuant to § 175-31B or when the Planning Board grants a variance in conjunction with subdivision, site plan or conditional use approval pursuant to § 175-21G(1)(a), then the duration of any variance so granted shall be the time period, including any period of extension or suspension set forth in § § 175-83, 175-84, 175-85, 175-86 and 175-87, for the protection of subdivision and site plan approval, and in § 175-62 for conditional use approval. If the successful applicant does not commence development within the time limits set forth for the protection of such approvals, then any variance so granted in conjunction therewith shall be automatically null and void unless said applicant shall receive from the Board reviewing the application a renewal not to exceed one year of the determination. If at the end of the extension the applicant has not commenced development, the variance is automatically null and void and may not be further renewed.
