[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Kittanning 8-1-2022 by Ord. No. 550-2022. Amendments noted where applicable.]
In the event that a proposed development within the Borough requires review by a Borough professional, including but not limited to engineers, architects and/or attorneys, to ensure compliance with federal, state or local law or regulation, the Borough may require a deposit to be paid by the developer in advance of directing professional review; such deposit shall be in an amount set by resolution of Borough Council; any deposit shall be held by the Borough in escrow; no interest upon escrowed fees shall be payable to the developer.
Professional fees incurred by the Borough in connection with the necessary review shall be charged against the deposit.
In the event that the amount of the initial deposit is not sufficient to cover review, the developer shall remit such additional deposit as may be required to complete review.
Any portion of the deposit that remains unused at the conclusion of the project shall be returned to the developer.
In the event that any part of this chapter is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this chapter shall continue in full force and effect.
Prior ordinances inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed.
This chapter shall be effective upon its enactment.
