The Town of Plattekill Code Chapter 93, Article II, § 93-21, provides that fees may be established by the Town Board in association with any subdivision application. It is therefore resolved that:
A. 
All applicants for subdivision approval under the Town of Plattekill Code Chapter 93 shall reimburse the cost of professional services deemed necessary in the review process of a proposed subdivision plat, based upon rates as may be negotiated, from time to time, by the Town of Plattekill and providers of such service.
B. 
The Planning Board or, if deemed appropriate and necessary, the Town Board may require an applicant for subdivision approval to deposit, in escrow, a sum of money as determined by the Board requiring such payment, against which deposit shall be applied any and all fees, charges and disbursements incurred by the professional service providers retained by the town in the review of this application. Said fund may be required to be increased or further deposits added, as the same is reduced, at the discretion of the respective Board.
C. 
In the event that the applicant fails, refuses or neglects to deposit the sums required by the Planning Board or Town Board, as the case may be, or fails, refuses or neglects to pay a fee, charge or invoice submitted to the town by a professional service provider in connection with the application, the application shall not be processed further, nor shall any final permits or approvals be granted until all outstanding fees, charges or invoices are paid and/or sufficient moneys deposited with the town to cover future anticipated charges.
[Added 4-4-1990]

B. 
The Zoning Board of Appeals or, if deemed appropriate and necessary, the Town Board may require an applicant for any of the aforesaid approvals to deposit, in escrow, a sum of money as determined by the Board requiring such payment, against which deposit shall be applied any and all fees, charges and disbursements incurred by the professional service providers retained by the town in the review of this application. Said funds may be required to be increased or further deposits added, as the same is reduced, at the discretion of the respective Board.
