§ 212-16. Minor subdivisions.

A. 

Application, filing and fee. An applicant for the subdivision of land, as defined in this chapter, shall submit to the Secretary of the Board an application on the appropriate form provided by the Board. The number and type of copies of the application form and map shall be as specified in the procedure manual for subdivisions, as prepared, approved and from time to time revised by the Planning Board. An application fee shall also be submitted, as required in § 212-18.

B. 

Action by Technical Review Committee and County Planning Board. The application shall first be considered by the Technical Review Committee and also shall be submitted to the County Planning Board for review under the land development standards of the county. The Technical Review Committee shall consider and act upon the completeness of the application before the next regular meeting of the Board following the submission of the application.

C. 

Classification; approval. If the Technical Review Committee shall classify the subdivision as a minor subdivision and finds no cause for review by the entire Board or for unfavorable action upon the subdivision, such finding shall be reported in writing to the Board by the Committee. In such event, the Board is hereby empowered, as provided for in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-47, to waive the requirements for full notice and hearing, and thereupon such finding shall be deemed to be favorable approval by the Board. No further approval shall be required, and the plat shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board and the Board Secretary and returned to the subdivider within 45 days of the date of submission of a completed application.

D. 

Filing of plat; copies and prints.

Approval of a minor subdivision shall expire 190 days from the date of municipal approval, unless within such period a plat, in conformity with such approval and the provisions of the Map Filing Law, the Laws of 1960, Chapter 141, or a deed clearly describing the approved minor subdivision is filed by the developer with the county recording officer, the Municipal Engineer and the Municipal Tax Assessor. Any such plat or deed accepted for such filing shall have been signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Planning Board.

Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.

(2) 

The developer shall furnish the Borough Engineering Department with a sepia of the filed map, showing the date of filing and the county filing information. The Engineering Department shall then provide prints for the Municipal Assessor and the Secretary of the Planning Board.

E. 

Duration of requirements and conditions.
