In addition to the fee charged, as set forth in Subsection A above, for the approval of a site plan, a subdivision or a partitioning, each applicant shall be liable for and shall pay the following costs which may be incurred in processing the application:

Before final approval by the Village Board of Trustees
of a plat showing new streets, highways, parkways, drainage and other
public works laid out for construction within the Village of Flower

of the streets, highways, parkways, drainage or other public works.

The Village Board of Trustees shall have the power
and authority to and is directed that at the time of the filing of
the plat it shall fix the amount of such performance bond and, in
addition, require the developer to deposit with the Village Clerk
or Village Clerk-Treasurer cash in the amount of 2% of the amount
of the performance bond for the payment by the Village of such inspection
and engineering costs authorized by the Village in connection with
the improvements designated upon the developer's plat. When incurred
engineering charges against the cash deposit would reduce the deposit
to 1% of the performance bond, the developer shall pay to the Village
Clerk or Village Clerk-Treasurer, within 10 days after notification
by the Village Clerk or Village Clerk-Treasurer, an amount which,
after such charges, will restore the cash deposit in an amount equal
to 2% of the amount of the performance bond. During the time that
any deficiency exists in the cash deposit, no inspections will be
made nor will there be issued any permits or certificates of occupancy
with relation to the development. After certification by authorized
Village personnel of completion of the total job, any excess remaining
after payment of such expenses by the Village shall be refunded to
the applicant within 60 days.

Deposits. On any submission of an application requiring
site plan, subdivision or partitioning approval, there shall be deposited
with the Village Clerk or Village Clerk-Treasurer a sum equivalent

the structures to be erected thereon, to be applied by the Village
to costs incurred by the Village in connection with the approval of
any site plan, subdivision or partitioning and in connection with

and facilities, for which the applicant is liable. The minimum deposit
shall be $500. Any excess remaining after payment by the Village of
such expenses shall be refunded to the applicant within 60 days after
the recommendation on the application is filed. In the event that
such sum is insufficient to cover said expenses, the additional sums
required shall be paid by the applicant to the Village Clerk or Village
Clerk-Treasurer upon receipt of a bill from the Clerk or Clerk-Treasurer
