Final approval shall be granted or denied within
the time prescribed by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-50b or as otherwise specified
in the Municipal Land Use Law. If the Planning Board approves the
final plat, a notation to that effect shall be made on each plat,
signed by the Chairperson and Secretary of the Planning Board. Failure
of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute
final approval in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-50b.
Any plat which requires County Planning Board approval pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.2 shall be forwarded to the County Planning Board for its action. The Planning Board may grant final approval subject to approval by the County Planning Board as provided in § 115-76B.
The final plat approval shall be filed by the
subdivider with the County Recording Officer within 95 days from the
date of such approval. If any final plat is not filed within that
period, the approval shall expire. For good cause, the Planning Board
may extend the time for the filing of the plat for an additional period
not to exceed 95 days. No plat shall be accepted for filing by the
Clerk of the County unless it has been duly approved by the Township
of Alexandria Planning Board and signed by its Chairperson and Secretary.
The granting of final approval shall guarantee
to the applicant that the zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary
approval first granted and all other rights conferred upon the developer,
whether conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period
of two years after the date of final approval, provided that these
rights shall expire if the plat has not been duly recorded within
the prescribed time period.
A.
If the developer has followed the standards prescribed
for final approval and has duly recorded the plat as required by this
chapter, the Planning Board may extend such period of protection for
extensions of one year but not to exceed three extensions. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this chapter, the granting of final approval
terminates the time period of preliminary approval for the section
granted final approval.
B.
In case of a subdivision for 150 acres or more, the Planning Board may grant the rights referred to in § 115-139 for such period of time, longer than two years, 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 final approval, economic conditions, and the comprehensiveness of the development. The developer may apply for thereafter and the Planning Board may thereafter grant an extension of final approval for such additional period of time as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable, taking into consideration the above factors.
