40:27-6.3.  Submission of subdivision application to board for review and approval;  report to municipal authority
    Each subdivision application shall be submitted to the county planning board  for review and, where required, approval prior to approval by the local municipal approving authority.  County approval of any subdivision application affecting county road or drainage facilities shall be limited by and based upon  the rules, regulations and standards established by and duly set forth in a  resolution adopted by the board of chosen freeholders. The municipal approval  authority shall either defer taking final action on a subdivision application  until receipt of the county planning board report thereon or approve the  subdivision application subject to its timely receipt of a favorable report  thereon by the county planning board.  The county planning board shall report  to the municipal authority within 30 days from the date of receipt of the  application.  If the county planning board fails to report to the municipal  approving authority within the 30-day period, said subdivision application  shall be deemed to have been approved by the county planning board unless, by  mutual agreement between the county planning board and municipal approving  authority, with approval of the applicant, the 30-day period shall be extended  for an additional 30-day period, and any such extension shall so extend the  time within which a municipal approving authority shall be required by law to  act thereon.
