Notwithstanding the foregoing, any planned residential community may include, on property owned by the homeowners' association, an office to be occupied by an independent real estate broker or agent for the exclusive resale of houses within the development.

Setbacks. Except for entrance gates, walls, fences, carports or project identification signs, no townhouse unit shall be located within 50 feet of any exterior boundary line of the tract. Where an exterior building line of the tract adjoins other mapped wetland areas, which cannot be developed, the Planning Board may waive this requirement upon submission and review of appropriate proofs by the applicant. Unless otherwise impossible, single-family detached units shall not front existing public roads. All single-family detached units shall have a minimum tract setback of 25 feet, provided that up to 10% of the total number of single-family units may have a tract setback of 10 feet.

A planned residential community shall be serviced by a water supply and sewerage system in accordance with local and state regulations, and the applicant shall grant public easements to the municipality or the Brick Township Municipal Utility Authority (BTMUA), or both, for all public utilities which shall be regulated and controlled by the municipality in accordance with its applicable ordinances. Easements shall be a minimum of 20 feet wide. All utilities shall be installed underground.

The common elements shall be deeded to the homeowners' association. The common lands or open spaces shall not be conveyed to any other body, and such restriction shall be placed in the master deed. Such documents required by Part 2 of this chapter shall provide that any common lands or open lands, recreational facilities and properties intended to be deeded and conveyed to a homeowners' association must be deeded to a nonprofit corporation or an analogous body immediately upon its incorporation and organization and be free and clear of any encumbrances or liens at the time of passing of control to the homeowners' association.

There shall be provided in each PRC a swimming pool of not less than 2,500 square feet, together with a patio complex consisting of recreational facilities. All ground surrounding recreational and administrative facilities shall be attractively landscaped with appropriate walkways. Underground irrigation shall be installed in such areas. Said complex and facilities may be separate and at different locations within the PRC.

Where a PRC is a fee simple development, covenants and restrictions and plot plans shall indicate that recreational areas and open space shall be dedicated to a homeowners' association or analogous body.

The applicant shall also comply with the following:

In case of fee simple ownership, the requirements for site development plan and subdivision shall both be applicable.

No building permit or certificate of occupancy or zoning permit shall be issued for the construction or use of any building in a PRC except in accordance with the approved site development plan for the tract in which said buildings are to be located.

Application for site development plan approval. Application for approval for the site development plan shall be made to the Planning Board. Such application shall show the plans for the development of the area, including all required elements as set forth in Part 4, Site Plan Review, of the Code of Brick Township. In addition, the following elements shall be shown:

Required attachments.

Said documents shall be forwarded to the Planning Board and shall be subject to the review of the Planning Board as to their adequacy of ensuring that the community shall be constituted so as to be consistent with the purpose and requirements of this section. The proposed documents and restrictions shall indicate a comprehensive and equitable program for the orderly transition of control over the homeowners' association from the applicant or the developer to the actual homeowners in the community.

In addition to the foregoing, it shall be mandatory for any applicant to provide the Planning Board with a copy of all submissions to be made to any state agency, in keeping with the state's right to regulate such Township in matters not relating to local planning issues, which regulations of said state agency shall be controlling.

Such documents shall not allow the developer or the Board of Trustees of the nonprofit homeowners' association, while the developer controls the majority members of the Board of Trustees, the right to bring in within the scheme of the approved preliminary map or site plan, by purchase, gift or other acquisition, additional lands to the project. Nothing contained herein shall prevent a developer from proceeding with the finalization of the project in various sections; subject, however, to the condition that the entire area of the project shall be designated in the original filings of the applications on the preliminary maps or site plans. This subsection shall not apply to any application or preliminary approval dealing with lands that are contiguous to an existing PRC. Such applications must have been made to the Planning Board of the Township of Brick prior to the adoption of Part 2, Zoning, of this chapter. This exception applies only to these lands that are contiguous to an existing PRC and not divided by any roadway.

While the developer controls the Board of Trustees, the association shall not be permitted to merge, consolidate or enter into any contract or agreement with any person, partnership, corporation or association whereby its property, rights or obligations may be transferred to any such person, partnership, corporation or association, nor shall the documents required herein permit property rights and obligations of another person, partnership, corporation or association to be assumed or be added to the property rights or obligations of the association. Nothing contained in this subsection, however, shall limit the association from conducting the necessary and ordinary business of such association, it being the purpose of this subsection to protect the rights of the residents from merger with or acquisition of additional properties without their consent.

The documents shall provide that detailed books of account must be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and, in those cases where the books are not kept on the site of the PRC, said books shall be kept in the office of the developer or of the developer's accountant. Said office shall be no farther than 45 miles from the site of the PRC. Said books shall be available for inspection and audit by a committee of no more than three of the residents of the PRC on a regular monthly basis, in no event less than quarterly each year. The documents shall give the committee of residents designated for said purpose the right to inspect all contracts and agreements relating to and governing the operation of such project in the same manner as set forth herein.

Any Board which is established by said documents for the purpose of governing and maintaining the PRC shall be composed of not fewer than five members nor more than 11 members. The developer of the project may constitute a majority of said Board until such time as the developer has sold 90% of the units in said project; provided, however, that an earlier date may be fixed by said documents. Immediately upon transfer of title to 90% of the dwelling units, a special election shall be held to elect trustees from the association to replace the trustees appointed by the developer. Immediately upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the final dwelling unit, another special election shall be held, at which election the remaining trustees appointed by the developer shall be replaced. During the time the developer controls the majority of the Board of Trustees, the minority members shall be resident homeowners who are nominated and elected solely by the residents of the project, the developer having no vote in the nomination or election of the minority trustees. However, the developer, upon the passing of the fixed time or happening, whichever occurs first, shall be assigned two seats on the Board of Trustees, to which the developer may appoint persons of his or its choice until the construction of all proposed units has been completed. All trustees, whether majority or minority, shall be nonsalaried. The majority trustees appointed by the developer may be employees or officers of the developer and/or nonhomeowners.

The term of the initial appointees to the Board of Trustees shall be staggered among terms of not less than one and more than three years. Thereafter, all appointed or elected terms shall be three years.

There shall be no amendment or change made to the declaration of covenants and restriction by laws, proposed master deed or deeds, which affect zoning, site plan consideration or any other item which is within the jurisdiction or right of review of the Brick Township Planning Board or any other municipal agency without approval, in writing, by said Board or other municipal agency.

Consideration by Planning Board. The Planning Board shall consider the proposed site development plan from the point of view of the standards and purposes of the regulations governing PRC so as to achieve a maximum of coordination between the proposed development and the surrounding uses, the conservation of woodlands and the protection of watercourses from erosion and silting and a maximum of safety, convenience and amenity for the residents of the community. To these ends, the Planning Board shall consider the relationship of land uses, interior streets and other features with respect to the topography of the area and existing features, such as streams and large trees; and adequacy and location of the open space and recreation facilities provided; and such other matters as the Planning Board may find to have a material bearing upon the stated standards and objectives of the PRC.

Report by Planning Board. If the Planning Board finds that a proposed site development plan meets the purposes of these regulations, it shall approve the plan by resolution. A copy of said resolution shall be sent to the applicant by normal mail to the address indicated on the application when submitted, promptly, but in no case later than 90 days from the filing of the application, unless the applicant has consented to the extension of this time limit. In case of disapproval, the reasons therefor shall be included in the resolution adopted by the Planning Board and served in the manner described above upon the applicant, together with a list of objections and proposed changes necessary for approval of the site development plan.

Effect of approval. Building permits shall be issued only in accordance with the approved site development plan or final subdivision. Any departure from the plan shall be cause for revocation of a building permit or denial of a use and occupancy permit. Any proposed changes or deviations from the site development plan or final subdivision shall require resubmission of the site development plan with its amendments for reconsideration and its approval or rejection by the Planning Board in accordance with Part 2 of this chapter.

Validity. A site development plan approved in accordance with these regulations shall remain valid for a period of two years following the classification of the property as a planned residential community. If, at the end of that time, at least one building has not been completed and a certificate of occupancy issued therefor, then the plan shall be considered as having lapsed and shall be of no effect unless resubmitted as a new application to the Planning Board.

Record plat. A record plat showing the boundaries of the area zoned under the provisions of this section shall be recorded prior to the issuance of any building permit for construction thereon. The plat shall state thereon that the property has been classified as a PRC and shall be duly signed and dated by the Chairman of the Planning Board and attested by the Secretary, with the date of action noted thereon.

Development. Development for all of the uses and facilities approved on the site development plan shall proceed at the same rate as the dwelling units. To assure compliance with this section, the applicant shall submit a schedule with his site development plan for the development of public or quasi-public buildings and facilities on the PRC site. This schedule, or a copy thereof, shall be delivered to the Division of Inspection, and said Division of Inspection Inspector shall review all of the building permits issued for said PRC and examine the construction which is taking place from time to time. If he shall find that the applicant has deviated from the site plan or the schedule for construction of the public buildings or facilities, he shall report such fact to the Township Administrator, who shall take such action as deemed appropriate. Said failure to construct the public facilities shall be deemed a deviation from the site development plan, and no further building permits or certificates of occupancy shall be issued until the applicant has brought construction or development of the area of the public or quasi-public buildings or facilities into compliance with the site development plan and schedule thereto annexed. No performance bonding of these facilities will be permitted in lieu of construction. The applicant must provide for maintenance of all public or quasi-public buildings and property for a minimum of one year after all construction is completed in accordance with the site development plan approved. The words "buildings and property" shall include but not be limited to streets, driveways, parks, recreational facilities, open space and all buildings indicated on the site plan to have title transferred to the property owners' association or other body, as the case may be.
