Township of Jefferson, NJ Provisions Applicable to Land Use Board

Every application for development shall be accompanied by a payment of a fee in accordance with a schedule hereinafter set forth and an escrow as set forth. The application charge is a flat fee to cover direct administrative expenses and is nonrefundable. The escrow account, which may be required with a specific development plan and in accordance with the schedule, is established to cover the costs of professional services rendered to the municipality or approving authority for review of applications for development, review and preparation of documents and other purposes under the provisions of the Land Use Planning Act. The applicant shall be charged in accordance with ordinances of the governing body. The escrow shall be used to reimburse the approving authority engineer, approving authority attorney, professional planner or special consultant as may be retained by the approving authority or municipality to review the application. Professional services may be rendered by direct Township employees, such as, but not limited to, the Director of Public Works, the Township Health Officer, Fire Code Official, and police traffic consultant. The fees for such Township-employed professionals will be computed at the rate of 200% multiplied by the hourly base salary which shall be established annually by ordinance of each professional and by the number of hours spent by the respective review person on the application for development. The only additional charge by any professional or direct municipal employee shall be for actual out-of-pocket expenses.

Each payment charged to the deposit for escrow shall be upon a voucher for the professional, if it is an outside consultant, which voucher shall be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer. If the services are provided by a municipal employee, the employee shall prepare and submit to the Chief Financial Officer of the municipality a statement containing the same information as required on a voucher, on a monthly basis. Each applicant shall receive a copy of every voucher or statement. Statements shall be prepared by the Chief Financial Officer of the Township and forwarded to each applicant in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.2c. The close-out procedure for all deposits and escrows shall be in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.2d.

Any disputed charges by an applicant shall be processed in accordance with the procedures set forth in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.2a.

Inspection fees.

Every developer shall be responsible for inspection fees charged by professionals of the Township of Jefferson for inspection of improvements, both on tract and off tract, for a subdivision or site plan. The improvements to be inspected are those which the approving authority may deem necessary or appropriate, including streets, grading, pavement, gutters, curbs, sidewalks, street-lighting, shade trees, surveyor's monuments, water mains, culverts, storm sewers, sanitary sewers or other means of sewage disposal, drainage structures, erosion control and sedimentation control devices, public improvements of open space and, in the case of site plans only, other on-site improvements and landscaping. The inspections may be performed by the Township Engineer, the Engineer's designated inspector, the Director of the Department of Public Works for the Township, the Township Health Officer or the Township Code Enforcement Officer. The fees for Township-employed professionals will be computed at the rate of 200% multiplied by the hourly base rate, which shall be established annually by ordinance, of each professional, and by the number of hours spent on inspections or related activities to a development. The only additional charge by any professional or direct municipal employee shall be for actual out-of-pocket expenses.

Prior to the filing of any final subdivision plat or description confirming a minor subdivision, or prior to commencement of any site plan work, every developer shall deposit with the Chief Financial Officer of the Township a deposit for inspection fees in an amount not to exceed, except for extraordinary circumstances, the greater of $500 or 5% of the cost of said improvements, as determined by the Township Engineer and in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.4. In the event that final approval is by stages or sections of development, the deposit shall be only for those improvements necessary for said stage or section. For those developments for which the reasonably anticipated fees are less than $10,000, fees may, at the option of the developer, be paid in two installments. The initial amount deposited by the developer shall be 50% of the amount of the deposit. When the balance on deposit drops to 10%, the developer shall deposit the remaining 50%. For those developments for which the deposit fees are $10,000 or greater, fees may, at the option of the developer, be paid in four installments. The initial amount deposited by the developer shall be 25% of the deposit and when the balance drops to 10%, the developer shall make additional deposits of 25%. No professional shall perform any inspection if sufficient funds to pay for those inspections are not on deposit.

Each payment charged to the deposit for escrow shall be upon a voucher for the professional, if it is an outside consultant, which voucher shall be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer. If the services are provided by a municipal employee, the employee shall prepare and submit to the Chief Financial Officer of the Township a statement containing the same information as required on a voucher, on a monthly basis. Each applicant shall receive a copy of every voucher or statement. Statements shall be prepared by the Chief Financial Officer of the Township and forwarded to each applicant in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.2c. The close-out procedure for all deposits and escrows shall be in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.2d.

Any disputed charges by an applicant shall be processed in accordance with the procedures set forth in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.2a.

In addition to the fees as set forth herein, there shall be an inspection fee paid to the Township Engineer in accordance with the schedule as posted by the Township Engineer with the Township Clerk for inspection of all site plans to ensure compliance with the site plan ordinances of the Township of Jefferson.

Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the Township from collecting any other inspection fees or escrow accounts as set forth in any other ordinances pertaining to real estate development.

Miscellaneous fees. In addition to the above fees, any special meeting to accommodate an applicant by the Land Use Board shall have a fee of $1,000 to be paid by the applicant prior to the date of the meeting. Any request for an extension of any type of approval shall have a fee of $50 for each extension requested. Copies of resolutions shall be at a fee of $10 each. Copies of meeting tapes shall be at a fee of $25 per tape, and copies of minutes shall be at a fee of $1 per page.

The Land Use Board Secretary or designee of the Township of Jefferson may, at any time, require an applicant to place additional monies in escrow if it is reasonably determined that the existing escrows are insufficient to cover anticipated inspection or review services. Where the actual cost of providing inspection or review exceeds or is anticipated to exceed the escrow, which has been paid, the Township of Jefferson may bill the applicant for the excess costs, which shall be paid prior to any further inspection or review by the Land Use Board or its professionals. Any applicant that does not satisfy a request for additional escrow by certified check at least 10 days prior to a scheduled Land Use Board hearing involving that applicant shall not be eligible to be on the Board's agenda for that meeting. An applicant's continued failure to replenish the escrow within 10 days of written notice by the Land Use Board Secretary or designee shall entitle the Board to dismiss the application without prejudice subject to replenishment of the escrow without additional application fees. The Board, in its discretion, may grant reasonable extensions for an applicant to replenish the escrow for good cause shown. Any application dismissed without prejudice for one calendar year (365 days) as a result of Board action for an applicant's failure to satisfy a request for additional escrow shall be subject to dismissal with prejudice.

§ 70-14 Hearings.

Rules. The Land Use Board shall make rules governing the conduct of hearings before such bodies, which rules shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq. or of this chapter. Any maps and documents for which approval is sought at a hearing shall be on file and available for public inspection at least 10 days before the date of the hearing during normal business hours in the office of the Secretary of the Board before whom the hearing is to be held. The applicant may produce other documents, records or testimony at the hearing to substantiate or clarify or supplement the previously filed maps and documents.

Oaths. The officer presiding at the hearing or such person as he may designate shall have power to administer oaths and issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant evidence, including witnesses and documents presented by the parties, and the provisions of the County and Municipal Investigations Law, C. 38, P.L. 1953 (N.J.S.A. 2A:67AI et seq.) shall apply.

Testimony. The testimony of all witnesses relating to an application for development shall be taken under oath or affirmation by the presiding officer and the right of cross examination shall be permitted to all interested parties through their attorneys, if represented, or directly, if not represented, subject to the discretion of the presiding officer and to reasonable limitations as to time and number of witnesses.

Evidence. Technical rules of evidence shall not be applicable to the hearing, but the Board may exclude irrelevant, immaterial or unduly repetitious evidence.

Records. Each Board shall provide for the verbatim recording of the proceedings by either stenographer, mechanical or electronic means. The Board shall furnish a transcript or duplicate recording in lieu thereof on request to any interested party at his expense.

Vote by absent members. A member of the Land Use Board who is absent for one or more of the meetings at which a hearing was held shall be eligible to vote on the matter upon which the hearing was conducted notwithstanding his absence from one or more of the meetings; provided, however, that such Board member has available to him the transcript or recording of all the hearings from which he was absent, and certifies in writing to the Board that he has read such transcript or listened to such recording.

Continuances. All cases may be continued to a date certain which shall be the next regular meeting of the Land Use Board unless otherwise determined by the Board. The Chair shall announce to all those present the date, time and place to which the hearing on the matter is continued. No further notice need be given by the applicant in that event. However, if the meeting in continued to a special meeting, notice required under the Open Public Meetings Act shall be given. The Board reserves the right to continue a hearing on its own motion for purposes of further consideration, subject to limitations of time as provided in the Municipal Land Use Law and Land Use Ordinance.

The Board may also grant reasonable requests of interested parties to continue a matter in order to afford such parties sufficient time to prepare, engage counsel, obtain witnesses or for other good cause. However, the Board may only do so to the extent that the applicant's interests are not unduly compromised or prejudiced with respect to the applicant's protected interests under prevailing law.

Where adjournment for a continuance would extend the statutory period within which the Board is required to act, the consent of the applicant shall be evidenced in writing or shall be made on the record.

Where the applicant requests a continuance, that request shall be made in writing to the Board Secretary and shall specify the date on which the applicant will next appear before the Board.

Refusal to consent to a continuance. Where an applicant refuses to consent to a continuance so that objectors may be heard so that the Board may more fully consider the testimony or hear from the Board professionals or have the Board professionals review the applicant's submissions, such refusal by the applicant may be deemed arbitrary and unreasonable by the Board. Should the applicant demand that the Board decide the matter without affording such opportunity, the applicant shall be at risk of a denial of the application for failure to sustain the burden of proof and failure to afford the Board an opportunity to reach an informed decision.

§ 70-15 Notice requirements for hearing.
