Re: Application No. PB 23-04 Redwood, L.L.C. May 10, 2026 As the Board is aware, N.J.S.A. 40:55D-52 provides that where a developer is prevented from proceeding with development because of delays in obtaining legally required approvals from other governmental entities, and the developer has diligently pursued such approvals, the developer may apply to the Planning Board for an extension of the period of protection. The statute further provides: “A developer shall apply for the extension before (1) what would otherwise be the expiration date of final approval or (2) the 91st day after the developer receives the last legally required approval from other governmental entities, whichever occurs later.” The Applicant respectfully submits that it has diligently pursued the required governmental approvals and that the circumstances contemplated by N.J.S.A. 40:55D- 52 are applicable in this matter. Accordingly, the Applicant respectfully requests that the Planning Board grant an extension of the Final Site Plan Approval and all associated variance approvals for the period permitted under the Municipal Land Use Law. This request is submitted within the time permitted by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-52. To the extent that any municipal ordinance provision may be interpreted to establish a different or shorter protection period, the Applicant respectfully relies upon the protections afforded by the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law, which supersede any inconsistent local provisions. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. Respectfully submitted, DIMIN FIERRO, LLC el )lliaa Nf. Dumin William N. Dimin, Esq.
