Definition. A "minor site plan" shall mean a development plan that does not involve a planned unit development, any new street or extension of any off-tract improvement that is to be prorated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-42 and which contains the information reasonably required in order to make an informed determination as to whether the requirements established by this chapter for approval have been met. A "minor site plan" shall additionally mean a site plan for a development or building alteration requiring less than 10 parking spaces as required by this chapter, containing less than 2,500 new or additional square feet of floor area and not having more than 50% lot coverage. The approving board, upon receipt of a site plan application, shall, by a vote of a majority of its members, decide whether or not to treat said application as a minor site plan.
B. 
The approving Board may waive public notice of a public hearing for application for development if it finds that such application conforms to the definition of a minor site plan.
C. 
Minor site plan approval shall be deemed to be final approval of the site plan by the approving board, provided that the approving board may condition such approval on terms ensuring the provision of improvements pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-38, 40:55D-41 and 40:55D-53.
D. 
The zoning requirements and general terms and conditions, whether conditioned or otherwise, upon which minor site plan approval is granted shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date of minor site plan approval.

The developer shall be liable for additional engineering fees incurred by the Borough where such certification is found to be incorrect.

That adequate provision is made for off-street parking in accordance with the ordinances of the Borough of Oradell and that adequate traffic circulation and protection to adjoining properties are provided.
