The applicant for any subdivision or development
plan shall be required to pay all reasonable engineering and legal
fees incurred in the processing, review, approval, or denial of said
plans and for any subsequent inspections of any subdivision or development
plan which is submitted under the terms and provisions of this chapter.
The Borough of Pleasant Hills may, at the time
a subdivision or development plan is submitted, require the deposit
of a reasonable sum of money to defray the engineering, administrative
and legal expenses which the Borough may incur in processing such
application.
The Borough of Pleasant Hills is further authorized
to require additional deposits by the applicant during the processing
of any subdivision or development application and any subsequent inspections
if it appears that the previous deposit was not sufficient to cover
the reasonable engineering, administrative and legal expenses to be
incurred.
Final approval of any application for subdivision
or development shall be withheld until all fees and expenses for engineering,
administrative and legal services have been paid in full.
Any applicant who contests the amount of deposit
or the amount of engineering, administrative or legal fees assessed
by any Borough official shall have the right to appeal directly to
Borough Council who shall review the assessed fees and expenses and
shall issue a final determination as to the amount of fees and expenses
due.
