Copies filed with the Tax Assessor must show proof of filing with the County Clerk. 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 filed or recorded as provided for in Article X.

Preliminary approval in the case of major subdivisions of more than 10 lots and in the case of site plans for conventional developments of more than 10 acres shall be granted or denied within 95 days from the date an application is determined to be complete or within such further time as may be consented to by the developer.

An applicant that receives approvals for development with variances (including use variances) shall have two years from the date on which the approval of said application and variances become final within which to develop the property as set forth in the approvals.
