Board grants 190‑day extension to Avid Community Services to record subdivision deed
Summary
Avid Community Services of New Jersey requested an extension under N.J.S.A. 40:55D‑47(f) to record a minor‑subdivision deed after title work and tax‑lien foreclosures delayed recording. The planning board voted unanimously to grant a 190‑day extension from the date the extension resolution is adopted.
At the Sept. 17 meeting the Cranford Planning Board unanimously granted Avid Community Services of New Jersey Inc. a 190‑day extension to file a subdivision deed for two group‑home lots, citing delays in clearing title following tax‑lien foreclosures and the township’s quitclaim deed process.
Attorney Gary Goodman said the township had assembled the parcel following foreclosures and that additional time had been required to clear title before the applicant could record the deed. Goodman asked the board to extend the MLUL‑timed recording requirement under N.J.S.A. 40:55D‑47(f), which allows the planning board to extend the 190‑day filing period for good cause. The applicant said the subdivision will be recorded by deed rather than plat because it involves only two lots.
A board member moved to grant the extension for 190 days from the date the extension resolution is adopted; another member seconded. The board took a roll call vote and the motion carried with all members present voting in favor. The board stated the resolution memorializing the extension is adopted and that the applicant may submit the deed to the township engineer for review and signature by the chair and secretary.
The board’s action was recorded on the agenda as PB22‑001 and will be memorialized in a resolution to be incorporated into the file. No modifications to the prior subdivision approval were made beyond granting the extension to record the deed.
