Plan Set Requirements

Modifications: As you may know, field modifications are routinely made during the course of construction. Please be advised that amended zoning approval must be obtained prior to any field modifications or additional work to confirm that the proposed modifications do not violate any Borough Ordinances. There have been a number of recent issues related to field modifications that were made without prior zoning approval that violated the Borough Ordinances. This delayed the issuance of a TCO/CO/CA since residents and/or contractors had to go the Planning Board for a variance from the applicable section of the Ordinance or modify the project to comply. Therefore, please review any field modifications with the Zoning Office and obtain the necessary amended zoning approval to confirm that the changes conform to the ordinances and prevent unnecessary delays and expenses. See link below for further details.
