[Amended 7-18-1990 by Ord. No. 23-1990]
A.Â
The approval of a preliminary site plan shall confer
upon the applicant the following rights for a three-year period from
the date of a preliminary approval:
(1)Â
That the general terms and conditions on which preliminary
approval have been granted shall not be changed, including but not
limited to, use requirements; layout and design standards for streets,
curbs, and sidewalks; lot sizes, dimensions, yards, and improvements,
whether on site or off site; except that nothing herein shall prevent
the Township from modifying by ordinance such general terms and conditions
of preliminary approval as relate to public health and safety.
(2)Â
That the applicant may submit for final approval on
or before the expiration date of preliminary approval the whole or
a section or sections of the preliminary site plan.
(3)Â
The applicant may apply for and the Planning Board
may grant extensions on such preliminary approval for additional periods
of time of at least one year and not to exceed two years, provided
that if the design standards have been revised by ordinance, such
revised standards may govern at the discretion of the Planning Board.
B.Â
In the case of a site plan of 50 acres or larger,
the Planning Board may grant these rights for a period of time longer
than three years as shall be reasonable taking into consideration
the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible
under the preliminary approval; economic conditions; and the comprehensiveness
of the development. The applicant may petition and the Planning Board
may grant an extension of preliminary approval for such additional
time period as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable
taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential
floor area permissible under the preliminary approval; the potential
number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area of the section
or sections awaiting final approval; economic conditions; and the
comprehensiveness of the development, provided that if the design
standards have been revised, such standards may govern at the discretion
of the Planning Board.
C.Â
Request for Title 39 enforcement.
[Added 9-17-2007 by Ord. No. 39-2007]
(1)Â
Prior to the granting of final approval by the Board,
the developer shall file a written request with the Township Clerk
requesting the Township of Harrison to enforce the provisions of Title
39 of the New Jersey Revised Statutes on all streets and roads in
the development which are open to or used by the public. The provisions
of Title 39 shall be made applicable to said streets and roads at
the discretion of the Township and with the approval of the Commissioner
of Transportation of New Jersey.
(2)Â
This section shall apply to any site plan, subdivision,
planned development, general development or any new type of development
classification hereinafter authorized to be undertaken in the Township
of Harrison involving roads open or to be opened to the public.
A.Â
Inspection requirements. All site improvements associated
with the project shall be subject to inspection and approval by the
appropriate Township official. The applicant shall notify the Township
official at least 48 hours prior to the start of construction and
shall not pour, cover, install or backfill any work until inspected
and approved. Utilities work done by public utility companies is exempt
from this provision.
B.Â
Occupancy permit. An occupancy permit shall not be
issued until all the required improvements have been installed and
approved and are functioning properly to the building or portion of
a building for which an occupancy permit is sought under the provisions
of this chapter, nor shall any occupancy permit be issued if improvements
associated with the project remain to be completed elsewhere, on or
off the site.
