The Planning Board may not formally accept an
application for site plan approval unless the following conditions,
and other conditions specified elsewhere, have been complied with:
A.
Site plan approval applications. Three copies of the
application form, to be provided by the Secretary of the Planning
Board, shall be completed and submitted.
B.
Required number of maps and reports. Ten copies of
all maps and written reports shall be provided and submitted to the
Planning Board, plus one black- or blue-and-white print and one reverse
line sepia for submission to the County Planning Board.
C.
Application fees. All application fees shall be paid
to the Secretary of the Planning Board.
D.
Reports by other boards or agencies. Written reports
by other boards or agencies as required by this Part 4 or requested
by the Planning Board shall be received by the Planning Board, provided
that such boards and/or agencies shall report within 30 days from
the date of submission to said board or agency to review and comment
on the same.
A.
The Planning Board shall review the application at
a public meeting after all reports have been submitted.
B.
At a public meeting of the Planning Board and within
45 days of submission of a complete application for a minor site plan
or less than 95 days for any other site plan or within a mutually
agreed upon time extension, the Planning Board shall approve, conditionally
approve or disapprove the site plan.
[Amended 2-13-1980 by Ord. No. 4-80]
C.
The reasons for disapproval or the requirements of
any conditional approval shall be set forth in the written minutes
of the Planning Board, and the applicant shall be notified, in writing,
within 10 days of said action. A notice of this decision shall be
advertised as provided in this chapter.
D.
If the Planning Board required any substantial amendment
in the layout of improvements proposed by the developer that have
been the subject of a hearing, an amended application for development
shall be submitted and proceeded upon, as in the case of the original
application for development. If, by motion of the Planning Board,
a change or changes are considered minor in nature, approval may be
given subject to the submission of an amended site plan indicating
the changes.
A.
Any application for site plan approval by the Planning
Board or Board of Adjustment, as the case may be, of the Township
of Morris which either requires municipal site plan approval prior
to other governmental action or requires extensive review and consideration
by other governmental units may be granted conditional preliminary
site plan review by the Planning Board. This conditional approval
shall expire within three years if the applicant does not file for
final site plan approval with the Planning Board. All procedural requirements
for site plan approval may be waived where other governmental approvals
do not substantially change the conditional approval granted by the
Planning Board.
B.
In the event that the design and layout have been
affected by other governmental requirements, the applicant shall submit
an amended site plan with accompanying application fee required in
conjunction with the amended application.
Amended site plan applications shall be filed
with the Secretary of the Planning Board and shall be considered at
the next regular meeting date of the Planning Board, provided that
the amended application is received no less than 10 working days before
said meeting date and said amendments are minor in nature as determined
by the Construction Official.
[Amended 7-19-1995 by Ord. No. 22-95]
A.
All proposed improvements or development indicated
on the approved site plan map shall meet the requirements of all applicable
codes, ordinances and specifications of the Township, county, state
or federal governments and other agencies with jurisdiction over matters
pertaining to site development. Further, each site plan submitted
for review and approval by the Township shall comply with the requirements
of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and the requirements
of the State of New Jersey for handicap access and barrier-free design.
A notation certifying such compliance shall be placed on each site
plan.
B.
The Construction Official and/or the Township Engineer
may authorize minor changes in the site plan caused by said conditions
and shall notify the Planning Board, in writing, of such changes.
The site plan, as approved by the Planning Board, shall be binding upon the applicant. Any changes from the approved plan shall require resubmission and reapproval by the Planning Board, except as provided in § 57-102B hereof. Site plan approval shall remain in effect for a period of three years from the date of approval. The Planning Board, upon request from the applicant, may, for good and sufficient reason, extend this time period. In the event that a particular facility is to be constructed in stages, a site plan for each particular stage shall be required for the issuance of each building permit.
In the event of a failure to comply with any
condition of site plan approval, the Construction Official, on his
own initiative, may revoke the construction permit or certificate
of occupancy, as the case may be, and seek to enjoin the violation,
or take such other steps as permitted by law.
