A. A review fee shall be required for subdivision map
review, and inspection fees shall be required for field inspections.
B. A fee schedule shall be established, and changed as
needed, by resolution of the Southampton Town Board. A copy of the
fee schedule is on file with the Town Clerk’s office and the
Department of Land Management. The review fee shall be a percentage,
as stated in the Town of Southampton fee schedule, of the estimated
final total cost of capital improvements (performance bond estimate),
including but not limited to roads and clearing and drainage, and
shall be paid in two payments as follows:
[Amended 1-27-2004 by L.L. No. 2-2004]
(1) At the time of submission of the preliminary plat,
a fee equal to 1/2 of the amount of the percentage of the preliminary
estimated capital improvement cost will be paid. The basis of the
preliminary estimated capital improvement costs will be a unit price
per linear foot of road as shown on the preliminary plat. The unit
price will be based on an average of the total cost of public improvements
per linear foot of road indicated by several preceding performance
bond estimates for approved subdivisions. The actual amount (average/unit
price) will be set by the Planning Board at intervals of six months,
at the discretion of the Board.
(2) The final payment shall be paid to the Planning Board
prior to the time that the Chairperson or Secretary of the Planning
Board signs the final plat. The subdivider shall pay to the Town a
percentage of said final estimate less the fee previously paid under
the first payment.
C. When new road construction is not part of the subdivision
(subdivision on an improved road), the subdivider shall pay a review
fee as stated in the Town of Southampton fee schedule per lot, which
must accompany the preliminary application. A review fee as stated
in the Town of Southampton fee schedule per lot must accompany the
final application for minor review. A fee schedule shall be established,
and changed as needed, by resolution of the Southampton Town Board.
A copy of the fee schedule is on file with the Town Clerk’s
office and the Department of Land Management.
