The applicant shall comply with reasonable conditions laid down by the approving authority for design, dedication, improvements and the use of the land to conform to the physical and economical development of the municipality and to the safety and general welfare of the future residents/owners in the development and the community at large. Where County Planning Board review or approval is required on a subdivision or site plan, the approving authority shall condition any approval it grants upon either timely receipt of a favorable report from the County Planning Board or approval by the County Planning Board due to its failure to submit a report within the required time period. If the county's report is timely and is negative or attaches mandatory conditions, the original conditional approval by the municipal approving authority shall be void, and the application shall be denied, and a new resolution shall be adopted which considers the County Planning Board's report. (1976 Code § 78-24; Ord. No. 3-82)
The approving authority, when acting upon applications, shall have the power to grant such exceptions from the subdivision and site plan requirements of this chapter as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the provisions for subdivision/site plan review and approval if the literal enforcement of one (1) or more provisions of this chapter is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
The approving authority, when acting upon an application which includes provisions for lower income housing, may waive those portions of the design standards that do not create health and safety concerns for the Township or for the future residents of a development, provided such exemption from these standards will reduce construction costs so that the savings therefrom shall be passed on to the buyers and renters of lower income housing in the form of reduced housing costs. (1976 Code § 78-25; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 84-7)
The approving authority may waive required notices and hearings for minor and exempt subdivisions and site plans, except where a variance or conditional use is part of the application. Divisions of land not considered a subdivision as defined in this chapter shall be exempt from compliance with the requirements of this chapter only after affirmative action by the approving authority. Such action shall be taken following submission of documentation to the approving authority showing the division of land for agricultural purposes where all resulting parcels are five (5) acres or larger in size, divisions by testamentary or intestate provisions, divisions of property by court order and conveyances so as to combine existing lots by deeds or other instrument, as the case may be. Until exempted from the subdivision regulations by the approving authority, a court of competent jurisdiction or administrative officer, as appropriate, no person can transfer, sell or agree to transfer or sell, as owner or agent, any land which forms a part of a subdivision for which approval is required. Until exempted from the site plan regulations by the approving authority, no alterations or improvements shall be made nor permits issued. (1976 Code § 78-26; Ord. No. 3-82)
The approving authority shall have the power to act upon subdivisions, conditional uses or site plans simultaneously without the developer making further application or the approving authority holding further hearings. The longest time period for action by the approving authority, whether it is for subdivision, conditional use or site plan approval, shall apply. Whenever approval of a conditional use is requested by the developer in conjunction with a site plan or subdivision, notice of the hearing on the plat shall include reference to the request for such conditional use. See Section 30-10, Conditional Use Approval. (1976 Code § 78-27; Ord. No. 3-82)
A site plan approval is required for all residential and nonresidential developments which do not meet the definition of "site plan exempt" in Section 30-3. All site plans shall adhere to the design and zoning provisions of this chapter and shall provide performance and maintenance guarantees for the improvements as outlined in Section 30-13. (1976 Code § 78-28; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 12-83; Ord. No. 84-7)
Where an applicant is seeking simultaneous subdivision and/or site plan review and approval as part of a use variance, all applications shall be accompanied by plats plus other supporting documents as required for subdivision and site plan approval. (See also Section 30-22.) (1976 Code § 78-29; Ord. No. 3-82)
a. An informal review of a concept plan is optional. At the request of the developer, the Planning Board shall grant an informal review of a concept plan for development for which the developer intends to prepare and submit an application for development. No decisions will be made, no hearings held and no formal action taken. Neither the developer nor the approving authority shall be bound by this informal review.
b. Filing Procedure. The developer shall file with the administrative officer, at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the workshop meeting at which it will be discussed, three (3) copies of the informal plat which shall include topography of the property in question.
c. Action by the Approving Authority.
1. The approving authority shall classify the application as a minor or major development within forty-five (45) days of the date of submission or such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. If classified as a minor or exempt subdivision or a minor or exempt site plan, no public hearing need be required except if a variance or conditional use is part of the application. If the approving authority requires any changes prior to resubmitting the plat as a preliminary or final plat, such changes and/or conditions shall be in writing and shall be sent to the applicant.
2. If the approving authority determines the development may, directly or indirectly, create an adverse effect on either the property being developed or nearby property, the approving authority may require the developer to revise the plat. (1976 Code § 78-30; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 85-12)
Preliminary plats are required for all major site plans and major subdivisions. Where any remaining portion of the original tract is sufficient to be developed or subdivided further, the developer may be required to submit an informal plat of the remaining portion to indicate a feasible plan whereby the proposed development, together with subsequent development, will not create, impose, aggravate or lead to any adverse effect(s). (1976 Code § 78-31; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 85-12)
a. The applicant shall submit to the administrative officer, at least five (5) weeks prior to the first regularly scheduled meeting of the month of the approving authority, ten (10) black-on-white copies of the preliminary plat along with fifteen (15) copies of the plat, first sheet only (not cover sheet) folded so that the title sheet block is showing or, if more than ten (10) sheets, shall be submitted in individually rolled sets, one (1) translucent reproducible copy of each sheet of the plan, together with microfilm copies of each sheet of the drawings as specified in subsection 30-38.1; ten (10) completed copies of the application form for preliminary approval; four (4) copies of any protective covenants, deed restrictions and easements applying to the land being developed either existing or proposed or a statement that none exists or are proposed; ten (10) copies of the drainage calculations and soil erosions and sediment control data as required in Article IV of this chapter; certification from the Township Engineer that he has assigned block and lot numbers; the applicable filing fee; ten (10) copies of the completed checklist revised to April 30, 1992, incorporated by reference heretofore; and ten (10) copies of the certification by the Tax Collector that all taxes or assessments for local improvements that are due are paid to date (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-39(E)) and ten (10) copies of all other supplementary documentation submitted by applicant or requested by the Board.
b. Reduced Copies of Plat. Reduced copies of the initial submission of the preliminary plat plan sheet and eighteen (18) reduced copies of subsequent resubmissions involving modifications to the road layout shall be submitted. Each plan sheet shall show the entire tract with all proposed lots, easements and public improvements. This reduction shall not exceed eleven (11) inches in height and shall be at least eight and one-half (8 1/2) inches in width. The resulting scale shall be a multiple of one (1) inch equals one hundred (100) feet and shall result in a map with a final scale no smaller than one (1) inch equals five hundred (500) feet. If it is necessary to reduce the scale below one (1) inch equals five hundred (500) feet, the applicant should seek guidance from the approving authority. The intent of this reduction is to provide municipal agencies with a copy of the entire subdivision, in legible form, on one (1) sheet of paper for their information and use. A sample reduction is available for review at the office of the Township Clerk.
c. A corporation or partnership applying for permission to subdivide a parcel of land into six (6) or more lots or for a variance to construct a multiple dwelling of twenty-five (25) or more family units or for approval of a site to be used for commercial purposes shall list the names and addresses of all stockholders or individual partners owning at least ten (10%) percent of its stock of any class or at least ten (10%) percent of the interest in the partnership, as the case may be. If a corporation or partnership owns ten (10%) percent or more of the stock of a corporation or ten (10%) percent or greater interest in a partnership, subject to the above disclosure, that corporation or partnership shall list the names and addresses of its stockholders holding ten (10%) percent or more of its stock or ten (10%) percent or greater interest in the partnership, as the case may be, and this requirement shall be followed by every corporate stockholder or partner, in a partnership, until the names and addresses of the noncorporate stockholders and individual partners exceeding the ten (10%) percent-ownership criterion established in this Act have been listed. No Planning Board, Board of Adjustment or municipal governing body shall approve the application of any corporation or partnership which does not comply with this requirement of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-48.1. The penalty for concealment by a corporation or partnership shall be as outlined in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-48.1.
d. The application shall include a complete environmental impact report (Section 30-59b.), as those requirements may have been modified by data submitted at the informal plat stage or a written request for a waiver of any or all of its requirements. If a waiver is requested, the approving agency shall either approve, approve in part or disapprove the request. The applicant shall provide any required data within fifteen (15) days or at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the approving authority is required to act, whichever comes first. (1976 Code § 78-31; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 85-12; Ord. No. 92-6)
a. The administrative officer shall be authorized to reject an application as incomplete. The approving authority may accept the submission as a complete application upon recommendation(s) from the administrative officer. Such action shall be taken in compliance with the provisions of Section 30-8 of this chapter.
b. Public Hearing. If accepted as an application, a public hearing date shall be set by the approving authority and notice given.
c. Upon submission of a plat, the administrative officer shall submit two (2) copies to the Planning Board and one (1) copy of the plat and supporting data to the County Planning Board, Municipal Engineer, Planning Board Engineer and Board of Health, Township Clerk, Environmental Commission, Fire Hydrant Examiner, Police Department and any other agency or person as directed by the approving authority for review and action. In addition, copies of the reduced plat shall be distributed to the First Aid Squad, Board of Education, Board of Recreation Commissioners, Construction Official and Administrator. Each shall have not more than thirty (30) days from receipt of the plat to report to the approving authority. In the event of disapproval, such report shall state the reasons therefor. If any agency or person fails to submit a report within thirty (30) days, the plat shall be deemed to have been approved by them. Upon mutual agreement between the County Planning Board and the approving authority, with approval of the developer, the thirty (30)-day period for a County Planning Board report may be extended for an additional thirty (30) days, and any extension shall so extend the time within which the approving authority is required to act.
d. A subdivision of ten (10) or fewer lots shall be granted or denied within forty-five (45) days of the date of a complete submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the developer. With more than ten (10) lots, the approving authority shall grant or deny preliminary approval within ninety-five (95) days of the date of a complete submission or within such further time as may be consented to by the developer. Otherwise, the approving authority shall be deemed to have granted preliminary approval to the subdivision.
e. The approving authority shall grant or deny preliminary site plan approval within the following time periods, unless some further time has been consented to by the developer in writing:
1. A site plan which involves ten (10) acres or less and ten (10) dwelling units or less: within forty-five (45) days of the date of a complete submission.
2. A site plan which involves more than ten (10) acres or more than ten (10) dwelling units: within ninety-five (95) days of the date of a complete submission.
f. If the approving authority required any substantial amendment in the layout of improvements in either a site plan or subdivision and that plan had been the subject of a hearing, an amended application shall be submitted and proceeded upon as in the case of the original application for development. The approving authority shall, if the proposed development complies with this chapter, grant preliminary approval.
g. The approving authority may approve or disapprove the application, including action on the environmental impact report (Section 30-59). The decision shall be in writing and shall be sent to the applicant and the newspaper as required by Section 30-20, Public Hearings. If the approving authority grants preliminary approval, its Chairman and Secretary, or the Vice Chairman in the Chairman's absence, and Municipal Engineer shall sign each page of the plat indicating the approval.
h. Distribution of Approved Preliminary Plat. The administrative officer shall transmit the signed reproducible copy to the Municipal Engineer for reproduction of the required number of copies. Upon receipt of the copies, the administrative officer shall distribute one (1) signed copy to each of the following:
1. Municipal Engineer.
2. Construction Official.
3. Tax Assessor.
4. Planning and/or Zoning Board.
5. Board of Health.
6. County Planning Board.
7. Official issuing certification as to approval of subdivisions as provided in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-56.
8. Planning Board Engineer.
9. Police Department.
10. Applicant.
11. Township Clerk.
1. Preliminary approval of a subdivision or site plan shall, except as provided in paragraph 4. below, confer upon the applicant the following rights for a three (3) year period from the date of the preliminary approval, otherwise the approval shall be void.
1. That the general terms and conditions on which preliminary approval was granted shall not be changed, including but not limited to use requirements; layout and design standards for streets, curbs and sidewalks; lot size; yard dimensions and off-tract improvements; and any requirements peculiar to site plan approval, except that nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Township from modifying by ordinance such general terms and conditions of preliminary approval as relate to public health and safety.
2. That the applicant may submit for final approval on or before the expiration date of preliminary approval the whole or a section or sections of the preliminary plat.
3. That the applicant may apply for and the approving authority may grant extensions on such preliminary approval for additional periods of at least one (1) year but not to exceed a total extension of two (2) years, provided that if the design standards have been revised by ordinance, such revised standards may govern.
4. In the case of a development for an area of fifty (50) acres or more, the approving authority may grant the rights referred to in paragraphs 1., 2. and 3. above for such period of time, longer than three (3) years, as shall be determined by the approving authority to be reasonable, taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under preliminary approval and the potential number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area of the section(s) awaiting final approval, economic conditions and the comprehensiveness of the development, provided that, if the design standards have been revised, such revised standards may govern.
j. If improvements are to be installed prior to final approval, engineering inspection fees as determined by the Township Engineer shall be posted prior to the commencement of any work. In addition, the Township Engineer shall be notified at least two (2) working days prior to the start of any work. (1976 Code § 78-31; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 20-82; Ord. No. 21-82; Ord. No. 85-12)
a. Within three (3) years, plus any granted extensions, of the memorialization of preliminary approval, the developer shall file with the administrative officer at least two (2) weeks prior to the meeting of the approving authority at which it seeks final approval for all or a portion of the proposed development, the following items: one (1) reproducible copy of each sheet, ten (10) black-on-white paper prints of the plat folded so that the title block is showing, or, if more than ten (10) sheets, shall be submitted in individually rolled sets, ten (10) completed copies of the application form with supporting exhibits and final plat checklist, three (3) copies of the developer's agreement along with the performance guaranty, including off-tract improvements, if any, any maintenance guaranties, the applicable fees, including engineering inspection fees, certification by the Tax Collector that all taxes and assessments for local improvements are paid to date (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-39(E)), and that all lot and block numbers have been assigned by the Municipal Engineer; and certification of the plan by the Soil Conservation District pursuant to the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq. Each filing shall include a translucent reproducible copy of each sheet of the development plan. Each filing shall also include one (1) thirty-five (35) millimeter microfilm standard aperture card from safety-base, permanent record film with a gelatin-silver halide emulsion developed to a black-and-white image and meeting the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) PH 1.28, PH 1.29 and PH 1.41, and shall be provided for each sheet of submission. Each aperture card shall contain the following information:
1. Name and number of subdivision or site plan.
2. Name, title and address of the applicant.
3. Date and number of the sheet shown on the microfilm.
4. Tax Map block and lot number(s).
5. One (1) thirty-five (35) millimeter microfilm strip made from safety-base, permanent record film with a gelatin-silver halide emulsion developed to a black-and-white image and meeting the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) PH 1.28, PH 1.29 and PH 1.41, as amended and supplemented, shall also be provided for each submission. The strip shall meet all of the requirements of the New Jersey State Records Committee Microfilm Standards-Counties, Municipalities, School Districts, adopted July 1981, and as amended and supplemented, including but not limited thereto, the following:
(a) All roll film must have the following targets at the beginning of the reel: density targets; National Bureau of Standards' resolution target; certificate of authenticity; and title target containing title of records filmed, filmed start file and end file (if known), reduction ratio, camera type, film type, and department or agency having custody of the records.
(b) All roll film will have the following targets at the end of each reel: density targets; National Bureau of Standards' resolution target; and operator's certificate.
(c) For most documents, optimum density should read one point zero (1.0) to one point two zero (1.20) for original first-generation camera film. Acceptable standards will fall between a minimum of zero point eight zero (0.80) and a maximum of one point three five (1.35). The supervisor must use judgment to determine the most suitable density within this range for the documents being filmed. To permit a more accurate reproduction of the original roll, each image should maintain, as far as possible, a specific density throughout the roll. Since the color of the original documents will affect the density of the image and not all documents in a particular record series may have the same color, an average-density aim point should be chosen.
(d) A density minimum reading taken from the nonimage or clear area of the film will not exceed a reading of zero point one two (0.12) or manufacturer's specifications using automatic retrieval systems. Readings should be made close to the center of the film strip to avoid edge fog interference. (NOTE: Both background density and D-min density must be taken with a transmission densitometer.)
(e) A microscope having a magnification of 50X to 150X with achromatic objectives must be used to read the resolution from the National Bureau of Standard's microcopy resolution test chart. The line direction method will be used in making the determination of resolution. A minimum resolution of eighty (80) lines per millimeter on rotary cameras and one hundred ten (110) lines per millimeter on planetary cameras must be obtained on first-generation camera film.
(f) Thiosulfate residual content should be tested at least once a month. Only the methylene blue test method will be considered sufficiently reliable to determine archival quality. American National Standards Institute PH 1.28 of 1973 states the following levels of thiosulfate concentration that must be observed for archival microfilm:
(g) All film must be processed to meet National Bureau of Standards PH 4.8. Dry-chemical processing will not be acceptable. Film failing to meet the specified limits for thiosulfate concentration will not be acceptable.
(h) All film must be inspected for proper indexing, density, resolution and for residual thiosulfate. Film should be free of scratches, abrasions, blemishes or other defects.
b. Staging Plan. For any area that will be developed in stages, the approving authority may require the developer to submit a total development plan in such detail as required by the approving authority. Developers of large uses may request and the approving authority may approve the construction of such uses in stages, provided that the plan is accompanied by a sectionalization and staging plan showing the following:
1. The anticipated date for commencing construction of each stage. The staging of development on the site shall be such that if development of the site were discontinued after the completion of any stage, the developed portion of the site would comply in all respects to the requirements of this chapter and be provided with adequate drainage and utility systems.
2. Those improvements that will be completed in each stage prior to application for certificate of occupancy. The plan shall demonstrate that the staging of construction will minimize adverse effects upon occupied buildings in the site and adjoining properties.
3. Written descriptions of the proposed operation in sufficient detail to indicate the effects of the use in producing traffic congestion, noise, glare, air pollution, fire hazards or safety hazards. For nonresidential uses, the written description shall also include the hours of operation of the use, the number of shifts to be worked, the number of employees in each shift, the number of vehicles to be stored or parked on the site and provisions to be made for site maintenance.
c. Where utility services are to be extended to the development, the final plat shall be accompanied by letters directed to the Chairman of the approving authority and signed by a responsible officer of the sewer authority and utility which provides gas, telephone and electricity that has jurisdiction in the area. Such letter shall approve each proposed utility installation design and state who will construct the facility. In addition, a signed contract with the water company which has jurisdiction for providing water under its franchise for the area in question shall be required.
d. The final plat shall be accompanied by a statement by the Municipal Engineer that he is in receipt of a map showing all utilities and other improvements, both in the development and off-tract improvements, in exact location and elevation, that he has examined the street, drainage, erosion, stormwater control and excavation plans and found that the interests of the Township and of nearby properties are fully protected and identifying those portions of any improvements already installed and that the developer has either:
1. Installed all improvements in accordance with the requirements of this chapter and the preliminary plat approval with a maintenance guaranty accompanying the final plat. (See Section 30-13); or
2. Posted a performance guaranty that has been approved by the governing body.
e. The final plat shall be approved only if all improvements have been installed to the satisfaction of the Board in accordance with the approved preliminary plat or a revision thereof approved in accordance with this chapter and maintenance guaranties have been posted with the Township Clerk or, if such improvements have not been so installed, performance guaranties have been posted with the Township Clerk for all on-tract, off-tract, on-site and off-site improvements and the applicant signs an agreement with the Township, which includes among other things:
1. Approval by the applicant of the terms of the performance guaranty to be posted with the Township Clerk;
2. Certification that the applicant agrees to comply with the provisions of this chapter and a delineation of the specific conditions of such compliance which shall be met prior to permitting the occupancy of any dwelling unit or lot or selling any lot in the subdivision; provided, however, that no provision of this chapter shall prohibit the sale of the entire tract comprising the subdivision or portion thereof, for which final approval has been obtained, nor the transfer of the agreement to a purchase of the entire tract, or any portion thereof; and
3. Certification that the applicant understands that all construction in the subdivision, except as may be required by the following, may be stopped by the governing body if he fails to correct damage to adjoining or nearby properties resulting from the development of the subdivision and all conditions causing such problems within ten (10) days from the date of notification by the Township Engineer that unreasonable damage has or is being caused and that he understands that, if he fails to complete such corrective action as may be required within an additional ten (10) days, the governing body may instruct the Township Engineer to cause such corrective action to be taken at the subdivider's expense, the cost of such action to be deducted from the cash bond deposit with the Township Clerk. The Township Clerk shall thereafter require the applicant to post additional funds to replenish the deposit. (1976 Code § 78-32; Ord. No. 3-82; Ord. No. 12-83; Ord. No. 13-83; Ord. No. 84-83; Ord. No. 85-12; Ord. No. 2004-12 § I)
a. The approving authority shall grant final approval if the application is complete and if it conforms to the chapter, the conditions of previous reviews and the standards prescribed by the Map Filing Law, N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq. In the case of a planned development the approving authority may permit minimal deviations from the conditions of preliminary plat approval necessitated by change of conditions beyond the control of the developer since the date of preliminary approval. Minimal deviations shall not require the developer to submit another application for preliminary approval. The administrative officer shall be authorized to reject an application as incomplete. In the event that the administrative officer does not certify the application to be complete within forty-five (45) days of the date of its submission, the application shall be deemed complete upon the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period for purposes of commencing the applicable time period unless (a) the application lacks information indicated on the Township of Holmdel Development Plan Checklist dated Revised April 19, 1985, incorporated herein by reference and adopted herein, a copy of which shall be provided to the applicant upon request for an application and (b) the administrative officer has notified the applicant, in writing, of the deficiencies in the application within forty-five (45) days of the submission of the application.
b. Final approval shall be granted or denied within forty-five (45) days after submission of a complete application to the administrative officer or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. An approved final plat shall be signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the approving authority, or the Vice Chairman in the Chairman's absence. Failure of the approving authority to act within the period prescribed shall constitute final approval and a certificate of the administrative officer as to the failure of the approving authority to act shall be issued on request of the applicant. Such certificate shall be sufficient in lieu of the written endorsement or other evidence of approval herein required and shall be so accepted by the County Recording Officer for purposes of filing subdivision plats.
c. Whenever review or approval of the application by the County Planning Board is required by N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.3 or 40:27-6.6, the approving authority shall condition any approval that it grants upon timely receipt of a favorable report from the County Planning Board or upon its failure to submit a report within the required time period.
d. Reserved.
e. Final approval of a major subdivision shall expire ninety-five (95) days from the date of signing of the plat unless within such period the plat shall have been duly filed by the developer with the County Recording Officer. The approving authority may for good cause shown extend the period for recording for an additional period not to exceed one hundred ninety (190) days from the date of signing of the plat. No subdivision plat shall be accepted for filing by the County Recording Officer until it has been approved by the approving authority as indicated on the instrument by the signature of the Chairman and Secretary of the approving authority, or the Vice Chairman or Assistant Secretary in their absence, respectively, or a certificate has been issued as to the failure of the approving authority to act within the required time. The signatures of the Chairman and Secretary shall not be affixed until the developer has posted the required performance and maintenance guarantees. If the County Recording Officer records any plat without such approval, such recording shall be deemed null and void, and, upon request of the municipality, the plat shall be expunged from the official records. It shall be the duty of the County Recording Officer to notify the Planning Board, in writing, within seven (7) days of the filing of any plat, identifying such instrument by its title, date of filing and official number.
f. The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first granted to a site plan or a major subdivision and all other rights conferred upon the developer pursuant to the Municipal Land Use Law, whether conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two (2) years after the date of final approval, provided that, in the case of a subdivision, the approved final subdivision plat has been filed with the County Recording Officer. If the developer has followed the standards prescribed for final approval, the approving authority may extend such period of protection for extensions of one (1) year, but not to exceed three (3) extensions. Upon granting of final approval, the rights conferred upon the applicant by the granting of preliminary approval shall be terminated upon final approval. Final site plan approval and/or final subdivision approval, and all rights conferred thereby, shall expire after two (2) years, plus any granted extensions, from the date of memorialization of final approval, unless a building permit has been issued.
g. Provided that the approved final plat or a deed of the approved minor subdivision has been filed with the County Recording Officer, the zoning requirements and general terms and conditions, whether conditional or otherwise, upon which minor subdivision approval was granted shall not be changed for a period of two (2) years after the date of minor subdivision approval.
h. In the case of a subdivision or site plan for a planned development of fifty (50) acres or more or conventional subdivision or site plan of one hundred fifty (150) acres or more, the approving authority may grant the rights referred to in paragraphs f. and g. above for such period of time, longer than two (2) years, as shall be determined by the approving authority 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 and the approving authority may thereafter grant an extension of final approval for such additional period of time as shall be determined by the approving authority to be reasonable, taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval, the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area remaining to be developed, economic conditions and the comprehensiveness of the development.
1. Distribution of Approved Plat. The administrative officer shall arrange to have copies of the signed final plat reproduced and shall file the master copy in the office of the Township Clerk. The administrative officer shall send one (1) copy, except as noted, of the signed final plat to each of the following:
1. Municipal Engineer.
2. Construction Official.
3. Tax Assessor.
4. Planning or Zoning Board.
5. Board of Health.
