An applicant may request that a Board professional
schedule additional time, in excess of that covered by the monies
paid into the Professional Review Escrow Account, for review of a
specific application. If the Board professional consents to such a
request, both the applicant and the professional shall sign a consent
form authorizing such additional review. When the additional review
is completed, the professional shall submit an invoice to the Board,
and simultaneously therewith a copy to the applicant, detailing the
number of hours expended for such review, the professional's fee,
and a description of the work performed. Said invoice shall be due
and payable by the applicant prior to memorialization of the Board's
decision on the particular application.
In addition to the administrative fees and professional
review escrow amount set forth in the Conventional Application Fee
Schedule above, additional professional review escrow amounts where
applicable, and in the following amounts shall also be paid by the
applicant.
A. For every bulk variance that is requested as part
of the application, $350 per variance.
B. For every exception (pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-51)
that is requested as part of the application, $150 per exception.
On each application for a "d" variance filed
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70d, the applicant shall be required to
post to the Professional Review Escrow Account a minimum amount of
$500. The applicant shall also be required to post such additional
amounts into the Professional Review Escrow Account as may be deemed
to be reasonably required by the Board to appropriately consider the
application. The amounts required pursuant to this section shall be
required to cover the costs of review of the application by the Board's
engineer, planner and attorney as well as the costs of possible review,
in appropriate instances, by "special" professionals, e.g., traffic,
landscaping, and environmental professionals required to review specific
aspects of the application. An applicant shall be notified in writing
when additional amounts to restore the Professional Review Escrow
Account shall become due and payable. Prior to withdrawal of any funds
from this Professional Review Escrow Account, an invoice shall be
submitted to the Board Chairperson or his/her designee, and simultaneously
therewith to the applicant, setting forth the work performed for which
such fees are being requested. Following conclusion of the hearings
and meetings regarding the application, any unused portion of this
Professional Review Escrow Account shall be refunded to the applicant
simultaneously with payment of the Board's professional(s). Upon reimbursement
of any unused funds, an applicant may request an accounting of expended
funds, and same will be provided to the applicant within 30 days of
a written request filed with the Board.
This amendatory act shall apply to any action
initiated on or after the effective date of this article or any action
filed on or after the effective date hereof before the Planning Board
or Zoning Board of Adjustment of the Borough of Pemberton.
