Construction, encroachment upon, alteration, remodeling, removal,

[Amended by Ord. No. 1997-10]
A.
A cultural resource survey shall accompany all applications for development
in the PV District and all applications for major development in order
to determine whether any significant historic resources exist on the
parcel. Guidelines for this survey are contained in Appendix B of
the "Cultural Resource Management Plan," dated April 1991, as amended.
In general, the survey shall include: a statement as to the presence
of any properties listed on the National and State Registers of Historic
Places on the site or within the area of the project's potential environmental
impacts; a thorough search of state, local and any other pertinent
inventories to identify sites of potential significance, a review
of the literature and consultation with professional and vocational
archaeologists knowledgeable about the area, thorough pedestrian and
natural resources surveys; archaeological testing as necessary to
provide reasonable evidence of the presence or absence of historic
resources of significance; adequate recording of the information gained
and methodologies and sources used; and a list of personnel involved
and qualifications of the person(s) performing the survey.
(1)
This requirement for a survey may be waived by the local approval
agency if:
(a)
There is insufficient evidence of significant cultural activity
on the project site or, in the case of archaeological resources, within
the vicinity;
(b)
The evidence of cultural activity on the site lacks the potential
for importance because further recording of the available data will
not contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of Pinelands
culture; or
(2)
A resource shall be deemed to be significant it possesses integrity
of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and
association which reflects its significance in American history, architecture,
archaeology or culture under one or more of the following criteria:
(a)
The presence of structures, sites or areas associated with events
of significance to the cultural, political, economic or social history
of the nation, state, local community or the Pinelands;
(b)
The presence of structures, sites or areas associated with the
lives of persons or institutions of significance to the cultural,
political, economic or social history of the nation, state, local
community or the Pinelands;
(c)
The presence of structures that represent the work of a master,
or that possess high artistic values, or that embody the distinctive
characteristics of a type, period or method of construction, or that
represent a distinguishable entity of significance to the architectural,
cultural, political, economic or social history of the nation, state,
local community or the Pinelands, although its components may lack
individual distinction; or
(d)
The presence of a site or area which has yielded or is likely
to yield significant information regarding the history or archaeological
history of the Pinelands.
B.
The standards governing the issuance of certificates of appropriateness
in N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.156(c) shall be followed by the Planning Board
and Board of Adjustment.
C.
The effect of the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness is
as follows:
(1)
All subsequent development approvals shall be issued or denied in a manner consistent with the certificate of appropriateness except as provided in Subsection C(2) of this section.
(2)
A certificate of appropriateness issued as a result of the cultural resource survey requirement set forth in Subsection A of this section shall be effective for two years. If the resource is not designated by the Pinelands Commission pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.154 or by the Township Committee pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq. within that two-year period, the historic resource standards of this article shall no longer apply to the resource in question until such time as the Pinelands Commission designates the resource pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:50-6.154.
D.
The following information will be required to document resources
which are not found to be significant but which are otherwise found
to present graphic evidence of a cultural activity:
(1)
A narrative description of the resource and its cultural environment;
(2)
Photographic documentation to record the exterior appearance of buildings,
structures, and engineering resources;
(3)
A site plan depicting in correct scale the location of all buildings,
structures, and engineering resources; and
(4)
A New Jersey State inventory form as published by the New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection for buildings and a narrative
description of any process or technology if necessary to elaborate
upon the photographic record.
E.
If archaeological data is discovered on a site at any time after
construction has been commenced, the developer shall immediately cease
construction, notify the Planning Board and the Pinelands Commission
and take all reasonable steps to protect the archaeological data in
accordance with the "Guidelines for the Recovery of Scientific, Prehistoric,
Historic and Archaeological Data: Procedures for Notification, Reporting,
and Data Recovery" (36 CFR 66).
