Any applicant wishing to subdivide or resubdivide
land within the Borough of Glen Gardner shall apply for and obtain
the approval of the Planning Board in accordance with the following
procedure. The applicant or his or her agent shall appear at all regular
meetings of the Planning Board whenever the application is being considered.
Failure to appear shall give the Planning Board the right to postpone
action on the application for that particular meeting if the applicant's
or his or her agent's absence deprived the Planning Board of information
necessary to make a decision.
An applicant for the subdivision of land shall
submit to the Planning Board Secretary an application for subdivision,
the required application fee, sufficient blueprints of a sketch plat
containing the information required at least three weeks prior to
a regular meeting of the Planning Board. The Planning Board or its
designee shall determine if the application is complete and, if not,
inform the applicant of any deficiencies.
The Planning Board or designated subcommittee
thereof shall act within 45 days on a minor subdivision or complete
application for a minor subdivision. The Board or subcommittee shall
not approve or conditionally approve the minor subdivision prior to
receipt of comments by the above agencies or officials until 30 days
has elapsed from referral without any comments. If approved, a notation
to that effect shall be made on the plat, and it shall be signed by
the Planning Board Chairman and the Planning Board Secretary and returned
to the subdivider within one week following the next regular meeting
of the Planning Board. If rejected, the reasons for rejection shall
be noted on all copies of the application form, one of which shall
be returned to the applicant. The Planning Board or designated subcommittee
may attach conditions of approval to any minor subdivision.
If approved as a minor subdivision, a plat drawn in compliance with Chapter
141 of the Laws of 1960 or deed stamped with the date of the Planning Board approval shall be filed with the County Recording Officer within 190 days from the date of approval. Failure to file within 190 days shall void said subdivision approval.
The applicant shall provide the Secretary with
a certificate of filing from the County Clerk's office. The Secretary
shall distribute copies of the approved subdivision to each of the
following:
C. Borough Building Inspector.
The granting of minor subdivision approval shall
guarantee that the zoning requirements and general terms and conditions,
whether conditional or otherwise, upon which minor subdivision approval
was granted shall not be changed for a period of two years after the
date of minor subdivision approval, provided that the approved minor
subdivision shall have been duly recorded as provided herein. Applicants
shall be responsible for necessary approvals prior to development
under the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control provisions herein and
other applicable ordinances.
