H. Technical subdivisions permitted.

(1) While subdivisions are not necessarily required for multiple family residence developments, it is recognized that the project to be developed pursuant to this subsection may be of such size as to make sectionalization by subdivision and different forms of ownership a practical necessity. The Township recognizes that technical subdivisions for such a project may be required for marketing and/or financing purposes. It is further recognized that the size of the development referred to in this subsection, as a practical necessity, may require the creation of recreational facilities for use of all of the unit owners with such owners owning their unit under different forms of ownership, thus further indicating the likelihood of a technical subdivision to meet such practical needs.

(2) While the Township recognizes that any technical subdivision shall require the approval of the Planning Board, it also appears that any such subdivision will not modify or impact on the integrity of the development plan, and the Township hereby desires to state its intent that such subdivision be deemed "technical" in nature.

(3) Accordingly, subdivisions of lands which are either to be conveyed to a homeowners' association and/or a community homeowners' association within the project referred to in this subsection or which consists of recreational facilities which, prior to the completion of the project, will be constructed or completed by developer and thereafter conveyed to a homeowners' association and/or a community homeowners' association, shall be permitted upon application being made therefor by the owner.
