Any applicant wishing to subdivide or resubdivide
land within the Township of Bridgewater shall apply for and obtain
the approval of the Planning Board in accordance with the following
procedure. The applicant or his agent shall appear at all regular
meetings of the Planning Board whenever the application is being considered.
Failure to appear shall give the Planning Board the right to postpone
action on the application for that particular meeting if applicant's
or his agent's absence deprives the Planning Board of information
necessary to make a decision.
[Amended 6-18-1990 by Ord. No. 90-11]

if it results in any remaining lands capable of being resubdivided
into one or more building lots.

in compliance with Chapter 141 of the Laws of 1960 or a deed stamped
with the date of the Planning Board approval shall be filed with the
county recording officer within 190 days from the date of approval.
Failure to file within 190 days shall void said subdivision approval.
Any lands, lots or parcels resulting from a
minor subdivision shall not be resubmitted as a minor subdivision.
Before the Planning Board Secretary returns

provide the Secretary with a certificate of filing from the County
Clerk's office. The Secretary shall distribute copies of the approved
subdivision to each of the following:
C. Township Building Inspector.
The granting of minor subdivision approval shall
guarantee that the zoning requirements and general terms and conditions,
whether conditional or otherwise, upon which minor subdivision approval
