A. An informal submission is optional. An informal discussion may be held at a meeting of the approving authority with reference to an informally prepared plat 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.

A. An applicant for subdivision or site plan approval shall, prior to or at the time of filing an application for subdivision or site plan approval, file application for classification with the Secretary of the Planning Board, unless, pursuant to the Municipal Land Use Laws and the provisions of this Part 2 such subdivision or site plan application is to be reviewed by the Board of Adjustment in connection with an application for a variance pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d (use variance), in which case the application shall be filed with the Secretary of the Board of Adjustment. Such application shall be filed at least three (3) weeks prior to the meeting of the municipal agency to which it is submitted. The application for classification shall include three (3) completed copies of the application for classification form, twelve (12) black-on-white copies of the sketch plat, one (1) completed copy of the sketch plat check list and the applicable fee.

B. The municipal agency to which the application for classification is submitted shall review the application for its completeness as a submission for classification. If the application is complete, the municipal agency shall classify the development described therein as involving the major or minor subdivision or site plan review procedure under this Part 2 no later than its first regular meeting following the three-week period, if the municipal agency with which the application for classification has been filed would be the proper approving authority under such review procedure If the application is incomplete, if the nature of the development request cannot be discerned sufficiently enough from the application to determine the proper review procedure or if another municipal agency would be the proper approving authority under the review procedure involved, the municipal agency shall reject the application, decline to classify the development and state its reasons for such action No action on an application for classification shall be construed to be approval of an application for development, nor shall any action on an application for classification be construed as prohibited later rejection of an application for approval is subsequently submitted information discloses that the application has been improperly classified.

Approval of a minor subdivision shall be granted by the approving authority as follows:

A. [Amended 12-30-80 by Ord. No. 80-25] The following shall be required prior to approval of a minor subdivision.
