West Orange City Zoning Code

Minor Subdivision approval shall be deemed to be final approval of the subdivision by the Planning Board, provided that the Board may condition such approval on terms as described in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-47.

Minor subdivision approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days of the date of submission of a complete application to the Secretary of the Planning Board, or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant. Failure of the Planning Board to act within the period prescribed shall constitute minor subdivision approval and a certificate to that effect shall be issued by the Secretary of the Planning Board on request of the applicant.

The Planning Board shall grant only conditional approvals for application for development which require review or approval by the County Planning Board pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.3. A final approval shall be granted upon receipt of a favorable report or approval from the County Planning Board or upon the failure of the County Planning Board to report on the application within the required time period.

Approval of a minor subdivision shall expire 190 days from the date of Planning Board approval, within such period, a plat, in conformity with such approval and the provisions of the "Map Filing Law," N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq., or a deed clearly describing the approved minor subdivision, shall be filed by the applicant with the County Recording Officer, the municipal engineer and the municipal tax assessor. The Chairman and Secretary of the Planning Board shall sign such plats or deeds which accurately depict the minor subdivision, as approved by the Board, to enable the same to be filed with the County Recording Officer.
