Section 7:36-12.5 - Recreation and Open Space Inventory submissions(a) As part of an application for Green Acres funding for development, a local government unit must prepare and submit a Recreation and Open Space Inventory (ROSI). The ROSI must be prepared by the local government unit on forms obtained from Green Acres, and shall list each parcel of land held by the local government unit for recreation and conservation purposes as of the date of the application. All interests in land held by the local government unit for recreation and conservation purposes shall be listed, including any conservation restriction or historic preservation restriction, regardless of how they were acquired (for example, whether as a condition of a planning or zoning approval issued by a local government unit, as a donation, through negotiation, or in any other manner).1. The listing shall identify each parcel, specify whether each parcel is funded or unfunded parkland, give its area in acreage or square feet, and provide its lot and block designation as shown on the tax maps submitted under (b) below. If the tax lot or block designations have changed since the submission of a prior ROSI, the local government unit must provide the new lot and block numbers and the corresponding old lot and block numbers on the ROSI.2. The chief executive officer and the planning board chairperson, if the local government unit is a municipality, or the chief executive officer and the planning board chairperson or either the parks director or director of the open space program, if the local government unit is a county, shall sign and date the ROSI, affirming that it is complete and accurate.(b) The local government unit shall submit a map of the local government unit and current tax maps showing each parcel of parkland listed on the ROSI, with the approximate boundaries of each such parcel clearly marked in colored ink. The tax maps required under this subsection need not be submitted if: 1. Green Acres has the tax maps on file because they were previously submitted by the local government unit; and2. The local government unit certifies that the previously submitted tax maps are complete and accurate as of the date of application submission. N.J. Admin. Code § 7:36-12.5
