(Ord. #637-99)

26-60.2 Complete Application. The Municipal Agency or its authorized committee or designee (herein called the Municipal Agency) shall review all applications and accompanying documents required by this chapter to determine that the application is complete. An application for development shall be complete for purposes of commencing the applicable time period for action by a municipal agency when so certified by the Municipal Agency. In the event that the Municipal Agency does not certify the application to be complete within forty-five (45) days of the date of its submission, the application shall be deemed complete upon the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period for purposes of commencing the applicable time period unless (a) the application lacks information indicated on the checklist for such application as set forth in subsections 26-74.1 through 26-74.5 below, and (b) the Municipal Agency has notified the applicant, in writing, of the deficiencies in the application within forty-five (45) days of submission of the application. The applicant may request that one or more submission requirements be waived, in which event the Agency shall grant or deny the request within forty-five (45) days. Nothing herein shall be construed as diminishing the applicant's obligation to prove in the application process that he is entitled to approval of the application. The Municipal Agency may subsequently require correction of any information found to be in error and submission of additional information not specified in the checklist or any revisions in the accompanying documents, as are reasonably necessary to make an informed decision as to whether the requirements necessary for approval of the application for development have been met. The application shall not be deemed incomplete for lack of any such additional information or any revisions in the accompanying documents so required by the Municipal Agency.
