When an application for land approval includes a portion of the land
for which preliminary approval has been granted, a tax map at a scale
of not less than one inch equals 200 feet shall be submitted which
shows the lots proposed by the final plat, any lots created by the
approval of a prior final plat within the tract covered by the preliminary
plat, and any lots or portion of any lots within the preliminary plat
which have received final approval and their acreage and dimensions.
D.
An application for the final approval of a major subdivision plat shall not be complete and will not be accepted for review or consideration unless the developer has installed the improvements shown on the preliminary plat or the Joint Land Use Board shall require the posting of an adequate performance guaranty to assure the installation of the required improvements. Posting of the performance guaranty shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, Performance Guaranties, of this chapter. Said performance guaranty shall have been reviewed and have the approval of the Borough Solicitor as to both form and amount. The time limit on the installation of the required improvements under the performance guaranty shall not exceed 24 months from the date of posting.
E.
Final approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days after submission
of a complete application to the administrative officer or within
such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure

constitute final approval, and a certificate of the administrative
officer as to the failure of the Joint Land Use Board to act shall
be issued on request of the applicant, and it shall be sufficient
in lieu of the written endorsement or other evidence of approval herein
required and shall be so accepted by the County Recording Officer
for purposes of filing subdivision plats. No final approval shall
be granted unless the application for final approval conforms to this
chapter, the Borough's Zoning Ordinance, the provisions of the
Map Filing Law[1] and all other applicable municipal, county, state and
federal regulations. Approval shall be conditioned on the timely receipt
of a favorable report on the application by the County Planning Board
or approval by the County Planning Board by its failure to report
thereon within the required period of time.

Final approval of a major subdivision shall expire 95 days from the date of the signing of the plat unless within such period the plat shall have been duly filed by the developer with the County Recording Officer. The Joint Land Use Board may, for good cause shown, extend the period for recording for an additional period not to exceed 190 days from the date of the signing of the plat. The signatures of the Chairman and Secretary of the Joint Land Use Board shall not be affixed until the developer has posted the guaranty required pursuant to Section 41 of Chapter 291 of the Laws of 1975[2] and Article VIII of this chapter.
[2]
Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.
A.
Building permits. No lot in a subdivision shall be sold and no building
permit to erect, alter or repair any building upon land in a subdivision

and until the municipal improvements required by this chapter have
either been constructed or been guaranteed by an improvement bond
or certified check as approved by the Borough.
The Joint Land Use Board, when acting upon applications for
preliminary or minor subdivision approval, shall have the power to
grant such exceptions from the requirements for subdivision approval
as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of
the provisions for subdivision review and approval, pursuant to N.J.S.A.
40:55D-51, if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions of
this chapter is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because
of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
A.
The prospective purchaser, prospective mortgagee or any other person
interested in any land which forms a part of a subdivision or which
formed a part of such subdivision three years preceding August 1,
1976, may apply in writing to the administrative officer for the issuance
of a certificate certifying whether or not such subdivision has been
approved by the Joint Land Use Board. Such application shall contain
a diagram showing the location and dimension of the land to be covered
by the certificate and the name of the owner thereof.
B.
The administrative officer shall make and issue such certificate
within 15 days after the receipt of such written application and the
fees therefor. Said officer shall keep a duplicate copy of each certificate,
consecutively numbered, including a statement of the fee charged,
in a binder as a permanent record of his or her office.
C.
Each such certificate shall be designated a "Certificate as to Approval
of Subdivision of Land" and shall certify that there exists in the
Borough of Lindenwold a duly established Joint Land Use Board and
that there is an ordinance controlling subdivision of land adopted
under the authority of the Municipal Land Use Law of 1975, P.L. 1975,
c. 291.
D.
The administrative officer shall be entitled to demand and receive
for such certificate issued by him a reasonable fee not in excess
of those provided in N.J.S.A. 54:5-14 and 54:5-15. The fees so collected
by the administrative officer shall be paid by him or her to the Borough.
