The Site Plan Committee of the Planning Board may waive formal review and public hearings if it unanimously agrees that a development application is a minor change or addition. This will be done only after the Engineer has given his approval to improvements and drainage. Upon waiving action, the Committee shall report its findings and decision to the full Planning Board and so notify the Building Inspector, who will issue a building permit in accordance with the requirements of Township ordinances. The Committee may stipulate conditions of approval to the Building Inspector. No plan shall be classified as a small addition or change:

B. If the plan increases the size of the existing building by more than 10%.
C. If the plan increases the number of off-street parking spaces by more than 10% of the existing number or more than 10 in number; provided, however, that an application for parking lot restriping will be classified as a small addition or change, regardless of the number of spaces involved if the proposed restriping: will not change the location and configuration of existing paved areas or curbing; will not change the drainage characteristics of the site; and will not result in an increase in impervious coverage of the site. The resurfacing, repairing or repainting of a parking lot that does not change the amount or location of parking spaces, the width or location of circulation aisles or other aspects of the on-site circulation pattern shall be considered routine maintenance that does not require site plan approval.
