Review fees shall include the reasonable and necessary charges by
the Township's professional consultants, including, but not limited
to, its engineers, attorneys and surveyors, for review and report
to the Township of Londonderry. The review fees required to be paid
by this section shall be promptly paid by the applicant to the Township
upon the submission of bills to the applicant from time to time, as
such fees are billed to the Township or its authority by its professional
consultants. Such review fees shall be reasonable in accordance with
the ordinary and customary charges by the Township's professional
consultants for similar service in the community, but in no event
shall the fees exceed the rate or cost charged by the professional
consultants to the Township when the fees are not reimbursed or otherwise
imposed on applicants.

In the event the applicant disputes the amount of any such review
fees, the applicant shall, within 10 days of the billing date, notify
the Township that such fees are disputed, in which case the Township
shall not delay or disapprove a subdivision or land development application
due to the applicant's request over disputed fees.

the amount of review fees which are reasonable and necessary, then
the fees shall be recalculated and recertified by another professional
consultant licensed in the same field in this commonwealth and chosen
mutually by the Township and the applicant or developer. The estimate
certified by the outside professional consultant shall be presumed
fair and reasonable and shall be the final estimate. In the event
that an outside professional consultant is so chosen, fees for the
services of said consultant shall be paid equally by the Township
of Londonderry and the applicant or developer.
