Within 190 days from the date of approval by the Board of a minor subdivision, a plat map drawn in compliance with the Map Filing Act, N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq., or deed description, properly drafted and signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Board (or Acting Chairman or Secretary where either or both may be absent), shall be filed by the subdivider with the County Recording Officer. Unless filed within 190 days or an extension is granted, the approval shall expire and will require Board approval as in the first instance. 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 by the Board, provided that the approved minor subdivision shall have been duly recorded.
The Board may extend the one-hundred-ninety-day period for filing a minor subdivision or deed if the developer proves to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board: (1) that the developer was barred or prevented, directly or indirectly, from filing because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental or quasi-governmental entities; and (2) that the developer applied promptly for and diligently pursued the required approvals. The length of the extension shall be equal to period of delay caused by the wait for the required approvals, as determined by the Board.
