Subdivision of land — See Ch. 285.
The prospective purchaser, prospective mortgagee or any other
person interested in any land which forms part of a subdivision, or
which formed part of such a subdivision three years preceding the
effective date of this act, may apply in writing to the administrative
officer of the municipality for the issuance of a certificate certifying
whether or not such subdivision has been approved by the 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.
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 office.
Each such certificate shall be designated a "certificate as
to approval of subdivision of land," and shall certify:
A.
Whether there exists in the Township a duly established Land Use
Board and whether there is an ordinance controlling subdivision of
land adopted under the authority of this act.
B.
Whether the subdivision, as it relates to the land shown in said
application, has been approved by the Land Use Board and, if so, the
date of such approval and any extensions and terms thereof, showing
that the subdivision of which the lands are a part is a validly existing
subdivision.
C.
Whether such subdivision, if the same has not been approved, is statutorily
exempt from the requirement of approval as provided in this act.
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 such official shall be paid by him to the Township.
The administrative officer, for the purposes of this act, shall
be the Township Clerk.
