A.
Subject to the requirements and procedural provisions of Article V of this chapter, all applications for approval of subdivision of land and for approval of site plans shall be governed by the provisions of this article.
B.
Preliminary discussion. Any person who desires to
obtain approval of a site plan or a subdivision may request and is
encouraged to be scheduled at a meeting of the Planning Board for
an informal discussion of the proposed development. The purpose of
the informal discussion shall be to establish general guidelines to
be followed by the applicant in preparing his submission.
C.
Exceptions from requirements. The Planning Board,
when acting upon applications for preliminary or minor subdivision
approval or upon applications for preliminary site plan approval,
shall have the power to grant such exemptions from the requirements
for approval as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and
intent of the provisions for preliminary or minor subdivision or preliminary
site plan approval, if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions
of this chapter is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because
of peculiar conditions pertaining to the plan in question.
D.
Simultaneous review. The Planning Board shall have
the power to review and approve or deny conditional uses or site plans
simultaneously with review for subdivision approval without the developer
being required to make further application to the Planning Board or
the Planning Board being required to hold further hearings. The longest
time period for action by the Planning Board, whether it be for subdivision,
conditional use or site plan approval, shall apply. Whenever approval
of a conditional use is requested by the developer pursuant to this
subsection, notice of the hearing on the plat shall include reference
to the request for such conditional use.
E.
The review by the Planning Board of a conditional
use shall include any required site plan review.
F.
Substantial change after hearing. If the Planning
Board requires any substantial amendment in the layout or improvements
proposed by the developer that have been the subject of a hearing,
an amended application shall be submitted and proceeded upon as in
the case of an original application for development.
G.
Disclosure requirements. The developer shall make
the disclosure requirements concerning the percentage of ownership
of stock in a corporation or the percentage of ownership of a partnership
as required by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-48.1 et seq.
H.
Distribution of signed plats and site plans. After
approval and signing of a minor plat, preliminary plat or final plat
of a subdivision or preliminary site plan or final site plan, copies
thereof shall be sent by the Board Secretary to the County Planning
Board, the Sewerage Authority, the Monmouth County Regional Health
Commission No. 1, the Construction Official, the Borough Engineer
and the Tax Assessor.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
I.
Conditional approvals. If required, approvals from other government agencies outside of the jurisdiction of the Borough of Sea Bright have not been received prior to the Planning Board's approval of an application for development, such approval may be conditioned upon the subsequent approval or approvals by the other government agencies unless the applicant shall request that such approval shall be withheld until the approval or approvals from the other government agencies have been received. If approval is granted, conditioned upon the subsequent approval of another government agency and such government agency requires revisions in the plat which alter the layout and/or design standards approved by the Planning Board to an extent that the Borough Engineer determines that the basis upon which the approval was granted has been changed, the applicant shall be required to receive revised approval from the Planning Board and pay the fees for such revised approval set forth in Article VIII of this chapter.
J.
Deviation from final plan. The Planning Board may permit a deviation from the final subdivision plat or final site plan, if caused by change of conditions beyond the control of the developer since the date of final approval and the deviation would not substantially alter the character of the development or substantially impair the intent and purpose of the Master Plan and Article VII of this chapter.
K.
The layout or arrangement of any subdivision or land development shall be consistent with the requirements of Article VII of this chapter.
L.
The requirements of the Residential Site Improvement
Standards (and any revisions) are hereby incorporated into this article.

A.
Performance guaranty.
(1)
Prior to the signing of a final plat of a subdivision
or of a site plan, issuance of a development permit and/or the commencing
of any clearing, grading or installation of improvements, the developer
shall have filed with the Borough a performance guaranty sufficient
in amount to equal 120% of the total cost to the Borough, as estimated
by the Borough Engineer, of constructing those on-site, on-tract,
off-site and off-tract, improvements necessary to protect adjacent
property and the public interest in the event development of the subdivision
or site were not completed. Such improvements shall include but are
not limited to drainage facilities necessary to protect off-tract
areas from flooding, erosion-control facilities, required screening
and fencing, all improvements within public rights-of-way and easements
and the cost of seeding or otherwise stabilizing the site or subdivision.
Such guaranty shall assure the installation of such improvements on
or before an agreed date, guaranty the completion of all improvements
without damage to or interference with adjacent properties or public
facilities and hold the Borough Council and Planning Board and their
employees and agents harmless with respect to any acts of the developer,
its agents, successors or assigns. The total estimated cost to the
Borough of constructing all improvements shall be based upon the estimated
contract construction costs, which would prevail upon expiration of
the guaranty period. Such performance guaranty may be in the form
of cash, certified check, negotiable securities, a performance bond
issued by a bonding company or surety company approved by the Borough
Council or any other type of surety acceptable to and approved by
the Borough Attorney and Borough Council, provided that at least 10%
of the performance guaranty shall be in the form of cash or certified
check.
(2)
All performance guaranties shall run to and be in
favor of the Borough of Sea Bright in the County of Monmouth.
(3)
The performance guaranty shall be approved by the
Borough Attorney as to form, sufficiency and execution. Such performance
guaranty shall run for a period to be fixed by the Borough Council,
but in no case for a term of more than two years. However, with the
consent of the owner and the surety, if there be one, the Borough
Council may, by resolution, extend the term of such performance guaranty
for an additional period not to exceed one year subject to requiring
increased performance guaranty, if deemed necessary. If the required
improvements have not been installed in accordance with the performance
guaranty, the obligor and surety shall be liable thereon, at the option
of the municipality for:
(4)
If during the period of the performance guaranty,
the developer fails to prosecute the work of completing the improvements
so as not to create hazards to life, health, property or public safety,
the Borough may, after five days' notice perform, or cause to be performed,
any necessary corrective work and deduct the cost thereof from the
10% cash or certified check portion of the guaranty. Upon notice of
any such deduction, the subdivider shall, within 10 days, restore
the full 10% cash balance or his performance guaranty will be considered
breached and the Borough may take such action as it is entitled to
by law.
(5)
When all of the required improvements have been completed,
the obligor shall notify the Borough Council, in writing, by certified
mail addressed in care of the Borough Clerk of the completion of said
improvements and shall send a copy thereof to the Borough Engineer.
Thereupon the Borough Engineer shall inspect all of the improvements
and shall file a detailed report, in writing, with the Borough Council,
indicating either approval, partial approval or rejection of the improvements
with a statement of reasons for any rejection. If partial approval
is indicated, the cost of the improvements rejected shall be set forth.
(6)
The Borough Council shall either approve, partially
approve or reject the improvements, on the basis of the report of
the Borough Engineer and shall notify the obligor, in writing, by
certified mail, of the contents of said report and the action of said
approving authority with relation thereto, not later than 65 days
after receipt of the notice from the obligor of the completion of
the improvements. Where partial approval is granted, the obligor shall
be released from all liability, pursuant to such performance guaranty.
(7)
If any portion of the required improvements are rejected,
the Borough Council may require the obligor to complete such improvements
and, upon completion, the same procedure of notification, as set forth
in this section shall be followed.
(8)
Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to limit
the right of the obligor to contest by legal proceedings any determination
of the Borough Council or the Borough Engineer.
B.

Said amount shall be used to cover the cost of inspection, testing, engineering, administration and other costs and fees paid by the Borough in connection with the inspection and acceptance of the installation of the required improvements. All moneys received on account of engineering and inspection fees shall be deposited by the Borough Chief Financial Officer as general revenue as provided by law. The Borough shall provide appropriate budget items to cover the cost of all necessary administrative and engineering services.
[Amended 6-20-1983; 12-15-1998 by Ord. No. 94-98]
(2)
Inspection notice. All required improvements, except
those utility improvements which are not the responsibility of the
Borough shall be subject to inspection and approval by the Borough
Engineer, who shall be notified by the developer at least five days
prior to the initial start of construction and again 24 hours prior
to the resumption of work after any idle period exceeding one working
day. All of the utility improvements shall be subject to inspection
and approval by the owner of or agency controlling the utility, who
shall be notified by the developer in accordance with the utility's
requirements. No underground installation shall be covered until it
is inspected and approved by the owner of or agency controlling the
utility or by the Borough Engineer in all other cases.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. II)]
(3)
Modification of improvements. At any time, whether
as a result of his inspection of work underway or otherwise, the Borough
Engineer may recommend that the developer be required to modify the
design and extent of the improvements required, notifying the Planning
Board of his recommendations. The Planning Board shall, if it considers
such modifications to be major, or if requested by the developer or
Borough Engineer, take formal action to approve or disapprove such
recommendations; provided, however, that it must first afford the
developer an opportunity to be heard if he so requests. If the Board
takes no formal action within 30 days of such recommendations, or
where the developer has not requested formal Planning Board action,
its approval will be assumed. Similarly, the Planning Board may grant
or deny the developer permission to effect such modification upon
his application and the Borough Engineer's approval. In either event,
where such modification is to be effected, the appropriate plan must
be revised by the developer or his engineer to reflect such modification
and sufficient copies thereof submitted to the Board Secretary for
distribution.
(4)
General inspection requirements. All improvements,
except as otherwise provided, shall be subject to inspection and approval
by the Borough Engineer. No underground installation shall be covered
until inspected and approved by the Borough Engineer or
those agencies having jurisdiction over the particular installation.
If such installation is covered prior to inspection, it shall be uncovered
or other inspection means used, such as a television or other pipeline
camera as may be deemed necessary by the Borough Engineer, and charges
for such work will be paid for by the developer.
(5)
Inspection not acceptance. Inspection of any work
by the Borough Engineer, or his authorized representative, shall not
be considered to be final approval or rejection of the work, but shall
only be considered to be a determination of whether or not the specific
work involved was being done to Borough specifications or other required
standards at the time of inspection. Any damage to such work or other
unforeseen circumstances, such as the effect of the weather, other
construction, changing conditions, settlement, etc., between the time
of installation and the time that the developer wishes to be released
from his performance guaranty, shall be the full responsibility of
the developer, and no work shall be considered accepted until release
of the performance guaranty.
(6)
Payment to contractors. No developer shall enter into
any contract requiring the Borough, the Borough Engineer or any of
their agents, employees or other representatives to make any declarations,
written or otherwise, as a condition of payment of said developer
to a contractor as to the acceptance or rejection of the work. Neither
the Borough, the Borough Engineer nor any of their agents, employees
or representatives shall make any such declaration.
(7)
Procedure on acceptance of public improvements. When
the developer has constructed and installed the streets, drainage
facilities, curbs, sidewalks, street signs, monuments and other improvements
in accordance with Borough regulations, standards and specifications,
and desires the Borough to accept the said improvements, he shall,
in writing, addressed to and in a form approved by the Borough, with
copies thereof to the Borough Engineer, request the Borough Engineer
to make a semifinal inspection of said improvement. If the improvements
have been constructed under a performance guaranty after approval
of a final plat, the developer shall submit an as-built plan showing
as-built grades, profiles and sections and locations of all subsurface
utilities, such as french drains, combination drains, sanitary sewage
disposal systems, both public and individual water lines and control
valves, gas lines, telephone conduits, monuments, iron property markers
and any other utilities or improvements installed other than as shown
on the approved final plat. Said as-built plan shall be certified
to by a licensed New Jersey professional engineer. If any improvements
are constructed prior to final plat approval, the final plat shall
reflect all changes and as-built conditions and be so certified. Said
as-built plan(s) shall be submitted on reproducible media.
D.

(1)
It shall be the responsibility of the developer to
maintain the entire site or subdivision in a safe and orderly condition
during construction. Necessary steps shall be taken by the developer
to protect occupants of the site or subdivision and the general public

Provisions, Art. II)]
(2)
Should the developer fail in his obligation to maintain
the site or subdivision in a safe and orderly condition, the Borough
may, on five days' written notice or immediately in the case of hazard
to life, health or property, undertake whatever work may be necessary
to return the site or subdivision to a safe and orderly condition
and deduct the cost thereof from the 10% cash or certified check portion
of the performance guaranty. Upon notice of such deduction, the developer
shall, within 10 days, restore the full 10% cash balance or his performance
guaranty will be considered breached and the Borough may take such
action as it is entitled to by law.

equal to the cost, to the Borough, of constructing all uncompleted
improvements, prior to the issuance of any such temporary certificate
of occupancy.
F.
Maintenance guaranty. A maintenance guaranty shall be furnished by the developer upon release of the performance guaranty, acceptance of public improvements by the Borough Council and/or approval of site improvements by the Borough Engineer. The developer may elect to furnish such maintenance guaranty either by maintaining on deposit with the Borough the 10% cash or certified check portion of the performance guaranty provided in accordance with Subsection A of this section, by a bond issued by a bonding company or surety company or other type of surety acceptable to and approved by the Borough Attorney and Borough in an amount equal to 15% of the total performance guaranty provided in accordance with Subsection A of this section. The maintenance guaranty shall begin with the release of the performance guaranty and shall run for a period of one year from the release of the performance guaranty. Should he fail in his obligation to properly maintain all improvements, the Borough may, on 10 days' written notice or immediately, in the case of hazard to life, health or property, proceed with necessary repair or replacement of any unacceptable improvements and charge the cost thereof against the guaranty. At the end of the maintenance guaranty period, the cash or certified check on deposit will be returned to the subdivider less any sums, properly documented by the Borough, which have been expended to repair or replace any unsatisfactory improvements. The maintenance guaranty and bond shall be reviewed by the Borough Engineer and Borough Attorney and approved by the governing body. In the event that other governmental agencies or public utilities automatically will own the utilities to be installed or the improvements are covered by a performance or maintenance guaranty given to another governmental agency, no performance or maintenance guaranty, as the case may be, shall be required for such utilities or improvements.
Before any developer effectively assigns any
of his interest in any preliminary or final approval, he must notify
the Board Secretary and supply detailed information with regard to
the name, address, principals, type of organization, competency, experience
and past performance of the assignee, transferee or agent. Notice
of such assignment or transfer shall be given no later than 10 days
after its effective date. The assignee must be made acquainted with
all the conditions of approval and the developer shall so certify.
A.
No contractor, builder, developer or subcontractor
shall engage any personnel in any of the work on constructing any
improvements unless they are continually supervised by a competent,
English-speaking supervisor acceptable to the Borough Engineer.
B.
No less than five days prior to commencing construction
of any improvements on the site, the developer or his agent shall
provide the Borough Engineer with the names, addresses, phone numbers
and emergency phone numbers of the developer and/or a representative
empowered to act for the developer and/or each contractor and their
supervisor in charge of the construction, setting forth the aspect
of construction for which each is responsible.
C.
The developer may retain, throughout the course of
construction, a registered New Jersey professional engineer to supervise
the implementation of the approved subdivision or site design and
to make periodic reports to the Borough as well as to the developer
regarding conformance of the construction with the requirements of
final approval.
D.
If the developer proposes to retain someone other
than the engineer who prepared the final plat to supervise construction,
he shall notify the Borough Engineer and the Planning Board of the
name, address and license number of the engineer retained. If at any
time during the course of construction the developer elects or is
required to replace the responsible engineer and/or employ additional
engineers, he shall likewise notify the Borough Engineer and Planning
Board.
E.
The supervising engineer shall immediately notify
the Borough Engineer of any deviation (observed or proposed) from
the requirements of final approval and/or this chapter.
F.
At regular intervals during the course of construction
but not less often than at monthly intervals, the supervising engineer
shall submit to the Borough Engineer a report listing his observations
of the work undertaken during the reporting period, specifically noting
any deviation from the requirements of final approval and/or this
chapter and listing those improvements expected to be undertaken during
the next reporting period. The developer shall accompany any request
for acceptance of public improvements and/or release of performance
guaranties with a certification by the responsible supervising engineer
attesting to the completion of the improvements in full conformance
with the requirements of final approval and this chapter and/or specifically
noting any deviation therefrom.
