For the purpose of these regulations, certain words and terms used herein
are defined as follows:
See "Master Plan."
The approval of a final plat subject to conditions set forth by the
Planning Board in its resolution conditionally approving the plat. Conditional
approval does not qualify the final plat for recording. At the time of the

a duly authorized officer of the Planning Board to sign the plan subject to
completion of the requirements stated in the resolution. Upon completion of
these requirements, the plat must be signed by the officer so designated.
The subdivider has 90 days in which to satisfy the requirements upon which
the approval has been conditioned and obtain the certification of the officer
of the Planning Board. This period may be extended by the Planning Board,
if in its opinion the circumstances warrant this, for up to two ninety-day
periods beyond the initial 90 days.
