[Amended 11-24-1992 by Ord. No. 92-23]
An informal submission may be made at the option
of the developer. An informal discussion may be held at a meeting
of the Planning Board with reference to an informally prepared site
plan of sufficient accuracy to be used for purpose of discussion.
The purpose of such a discussion will be to review overall development
concepts in order to assist the applicant in the preparation of subsequent
plans. No decisions will be made and no formal action taken on an
informal discussion. Discussions and recommendations shall be informal
and shall not be binding on the Planning Board. The Planning Board
shall have the right to limit and control the extent, length and scope
of such informal discussion, to regulate when it may occur, to require
prior notice of a request for it and to conclude it in the interests
of expediting other business or if the matters being presented, in
the judgment of Board, should be presented formally. Any action taken
pertaining to such an informal submission shall be without prejudice
to the rights of the parties to later proceed formally under the procedures
elsewhere set forth in this chapter. Plans for informal discussion
shall be submitted to the Planning Board.
If the submission is accepted as complete, a date for a public meeting shall be set, at which the Board will consider the application. In the case of variances or conditional uses, a date for a public hearing shall be set and a notice thereof given as set forth in Chapter
77, Land Use Procedures, Article
III, of the Code of the Borough of Paramus and the hearing held in accordance with Article
III of that chapter (§
77-31).
[Amended 11-24-1992 by Ord. No. 92-23]
Copies of the preliminary site plan shall be
forwarded by the Zoning Officer prior to the hearing to the following
persons:
B. Secretary of the Borough Board of Health.
C. Such other municipal, county or state officials as
directed by the Planning Board.
Following the public meeting or hearing and
prior to adoption of a resolution of approval or disapproval of a
preliminary site plan, the Board may require or the developer may
request and the Board may grant permission to make minor revisions
of the preliminary site plan. The Board shall also have the discretion
to permit the applicant to submit an amended application in appropriate
instances, but if any substantial amendment is required by the Board
or desired by the developer in the layout of buildings or improvements
proposed by the developer that have been subject of a hearing, an
amended application shall be submitted and proceeded upon as in the
case of an original application. The Board may allow a lesser application
fee than for the original application, if it determines that the review
work involved will be less.
