	Approved as a final plat of a major site plan by the City of Northfield Planning Board on ___________________.
	Attest:	Chairman
	Secretary	Date
	City Engineer	Date

Filing of approved plat. If the applicant desires to proceed with a subdivision for which final approval has been granted, he shall file with the county recording officer a plat map drawn in compliance with the New Jersey Map Filing Law (N.J.S.A. 46:23-9.9 et seq.), as amended and supplemented, within 95 days from the date upon which the plat was signed by the Planning Board Chairman and Secretary. The applicant shall, within one week after filing the subdivision with the City recording officer, notify, in writing, the City Engineer and City Tax Assessor of the date of filing of the subdivision with the City recording officer and the case and sheet or page number for the filed map. A duplicate tracing of the filed map indicating thereon the filing date shall be obtained from the City recording officer by the City Clerk, who shall distribute copies of the filed map to appropriate municipal officials. In the event the subdivider fails to so file within the period allowed, the approval of the plat shall expire unless, prior to expiration, such time is extended by the Board for a period not to exceed 95 days for good cause.

Final approval. Application for final site plan approval shall be granted or denied within 45 days of submission of a complete application to the administrative officer (Planning Board Secretary) or within such further time as may be consented to by the applicant.

Effect of final approval.

(1)

The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first granted and all other rights conferred upon the developer at preliminary approval, whether conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date of final approval. If the developer has followed the standards prescribed for final approval, the Planning Board may extend such period of protection for extensions of one year, but not to exceed three extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq., the granting of final approval terminates the time period of the rights conferred by preliminary approval for the section granted final approval.

(2)

In the case of a site plan for a planned development or planned residential development or residential cluster of 50 acres or more or site plan for 150 acres or more, the Planning Board may grant rights for such period of time, longer than two years, as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable, taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval, economic conditions and the comprehensiveness of the development. The developer may apply for thereafter, and the Planning Board may thereafter grant, as many extensions of final approval for such additional period of time as shall be determined by the Planning Board to be reasonable, taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval, the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area remaining to be developed, economic conditions, and the comprehensiveness of the development.

(3)

Final approval will expire 95 days from the date of passage of the resolution of final approval if, during that time, all conditions provided for in the resolution of approval have not been fully complied with, performance guarantees posted, and the plans signed by the appropriate officials. The Planning Board may, for good cause shown, extend this time period.

Combined preliminary and final major site plan approval.

(1)

An applicant may request and the Planning Board may consent to accept an application for development for combined preliminary and final major site plan approval, provided that:

(a)

The proposed development is not to be constructed in sections or stages.

(b)

The applicant pays the application fees and provides all submissions required for both preliminary and final applications.

(c)

Any notice of hearing requirements applicable to the preliminary plat stage are complied with.

(d)

The applicant consents to the time limits for action by the Board, to be the greater of the limits set for either preliminary or final approval.

(e)

The Board is satisfied that the scope of the project is not so large nor so complex as to require the additional review time which separate applications would provide.

(2)

Any approval granted by the Planning Board on such combined application shall confer upon the applicant all the rights set forth in this section for final approval.
