Any owner of land within the Borough shall, prior to subdividing or re-subdividing land, as defined in this chapter, submit to the Secretary of the Planning Board, at least two weeks prior to the regular meeting of the Planning Board, 15 copies of a sketch plat of the proposed subdivision for purposes of classification and preliminary discussion and arrange to pay the application fee.

If classified and approved as a minor subdivision by unanimous action of the Planning and Planning Board, a notation to that effect will be made on the sketch plat. Where Monmouth County Planning Board approval is required, it will be forwarded to that Board for its consideration. The plat will then be forwarded to the Chairman of the Planning Board and the Secretary of the Planning Board for their signatures and returned to the subdivider within one week following the next regular meeting of the Planning Board. No further Planning Board approval shall be required. Recording shall be in accordance with the land development regulations of the Borough.

The Secretary of the Planning Board shall make distribution of the copies of the sketch plat to each of the following:

If the plat is classified as a major subdivision, a notation to that effect shall be made on the plat, which will be returned to the subdivider for compliance with the procedure in § 28-7.4.2 and § 28-7.4.3.
