5. Applicant proposes to remove four (4) trees, two (2) major and (2) minor trees and will plant replacement trees on another area of the property. 6. The proposed pickleball courts are for the use of Club members only and are not open to the general public. 7. N.LS.A. 40:55D-46.1. and NJ.S.A. 40:55D-5 govern the Board’s review of the minor site plan application. N.J.S.A. 40:55D-5 defines “minor site plan” as a development plan of one or more lots which (1) proposes new development within the scope of a development specifically permitted by ordinance as a minor site plan; (2) does not involve planned development, any new street or extension of any off-tract improvement which is to be prorated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-42; and (3) contains the information reasonably required to make an informed determination as to whether the requirements established by ordinance for approval of a minor site plan have been met.” N.J.S.A. 40:55D-46.1 provides that “Minor site plan approval shall be deemed to be final approval of the site plan by the board, provided that the board or said subcommittee may condition such approval on terms ensuring the provision of improvements, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40: 55D- 38, 40:55D-39, 40:55D-41 and 40:D-53” As such if the applicant meets the standards set forth in the ordinances, the planning board lacks the authority to deny approval of the site plan.
