Any street, avenue, boulevard, road, lane, viaduct, alley
or other way which is an existing state, county, municipal roadway
or a street or way shown upon a plat heretofore approved pursuant
to law or approved by official action or a street or way on a plat
duly filed and recorded in the office of the county recording officer
prior to the appointment of a Planning Board and the grant to such
board of the power to review plats, and includes the land between
the street right-of-way lines, whether improved or unimproved, and
may comprise pavement, shoulders, gutters, sidewalks, parking areas
and other areas within the street lines. For the purpose of this chapter,
"streets" shall be classified by the Planning Board using the following
guidelines:
All subdivisions not classified as a minor subdivision.
Any subdivision containing not more than three lots fronting
on an existing improved street nor involving a planned development
nor involving any new street or road or the extension of off-tract
improvements and not adversely affecting the development of the remainder
of the parcel or adjoining property and not in conflict with any provision
or portion of the Master Plan, Official Map, Zoning Ordinance [2]or this chapter. Any rearrangement of lot lines which does
not increase the number of building lots and/or which creates parcels
which are to be consolidated with existing lots shall be classified
as a "minor subdivision," provided that it meets the applicable criteria
set forth in other parts of this definition, and provided further
that either a deed of consolidation or a filed plat indicating such
consolidation is presented and recorded. Lots that are exempt from
subdivision requirements shall be first reviewed by the Planning Board.
Prior to receiving Planning Board approval, no person shall transfer,
sell or agree to transfer or sell, as owner or agent, any land which
ordinarily would require subdivision approval were it not exempt.
No unit shall be built on any lands classified as exempt from subdivision
regulations until said parcel has been reviewed under the subdivision
procedures of this chapter.
