addition to any fees imposed by the Lancaster County Planning Commission
pursuant to § 502 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning
Code for its review of plans showing improvements, extensions
or connections to the Authority's sewer and/or water lines. All
fees shall be paid by check or money order drawn to the Treasurer
of Warwick Township.
C. Recording fees. Any cost relating to the reduction of final plans
for the purpose of recording the same with the Recorder of Deeds of
the County of Lancaster shall be paid by the applicant.
D. Escrow fees for plan review expenses. Applications shall be accompanied by a fee to be placed in escrow to cover all reasonable and necessary charges that may be incurred by the Township's professional consultants, including the Township Solicitor and the Township Engineer, for the review and any report or reports to the Township on an applicant's application, plans, supporting data, proposed agreements relating to the maintenance of improvements or open space, deeds of dedication and similar matters, stormwater management permits, and subdivisions and land developments. Such review fees shall be the actual fees charged by the Township Solicitor, Township Engineer or other professional consultant for the services performed. The present fee schedule of the Township Engineer is on file at the Township Offices. Such schedule shall be revised to reflect changes in the rates charged to the Township by the Township Engineer. Any amount in the escrow funds which exceeds the professional consultant review costs shall be returned to the applicant. If this amount in the escrow fund is not sufficient to meet all professional consultant review costs, the applicant shall be billed therefor and shall pay the amount due within 45 days of such billing. The filing of a plan or application under this chapter, or the Warwick Township Stormwater Management Ordinance (Chapter
270), shall constitute an implied agreement by the applicant to pay such expenses.
E. Reimbursement for inspection of improvements when such inspection
is performed by Township Engineer or other professional consultant.
Developers shall reimburse the Township for all reasonable and necessary
charges incurred by the Township's professional consultants or
the Township Engineer for inspection of the improvements required
to be constructed and any report or reports to the Township thereon.
Such inspection fees shall be the actual fees charged by the Township
Engineer. The present fee schedule of the Township Engineer is on
file at the Township offices. Such schedule shall be revised to reflect
changes in the rates charged to the Township by the Township Engineer.
F. Reimbursement for inspection of improvements when such inspection
is performed by Township personnel. In some circumstances, inspection
of improvements may be performed by personnel employed by the Township.
If the inspection is performed by Township personnel, developers shall
reimburse the Township for all reasonable and necessary charges incurred
by the Township for inspection of the improvements required to be
constructed and any report or reports to the Township thereon. When
the inspection is performed by Township personnel, the fee shall be
the hourly inspection rate of the particular employee who performed
the inspection services plus any expenses incurred, including mileage
charges for the Township vehicles used for transportation to the site.
A minimum charge of $20 per hour per person will be billed for the
first hour or any portion thereof. Any time in excess of one hour
shall be billed at the same rate on a proportional basis. This charge
shall be revised to reflect changes in the costs to the Township for
utilizing its personnel to perform such inspections.
G. Resolution of fee disputes. In the event the developer disputes the
amount of any such inspection fee or expenses, the developer shall,
within 30 days of the billing date, notify the Township Secretary
that such fees are disputed as unreasonable or unnecessary, in which
case the Township shall not delay or disapprove any approval or permit
related to development due to the developer's dispute of the
fees. Disputes shall be resolved as follows:
(1)
If, within 45 days of the date of billing, the Township and
the developer cannot agree on the amount of expenses which are reasonable
and necessary, then the Township and the developer shall jointly,
by mutual agreement, appoint an arbitrator to resolve such dispute
who shall be of the same profession or discipline as the professional
consultant whose fees are being disputed, who shall review such charges
and expenses and make a determination as to the amount thereof which
is reasonable and necessary.
(2)
The arbitrator so appointed shall hear such evidence and review
such documentation as the professional in his/her sole opinion deems
necessary and render a decision within 50 days of the billing date.
The developer shall pay the entire amount determined in the decision
within 60 days from the billing date.
(3)
The fee the arbitrator shall be paid by the applicant if the
review fee charged is sustained by the arbitrator; otherwise, it shall
be divided equally between the parties. If the disputed fees are found
to be excessive by more than $5,000, the arbitrator shall have the
discretion to assess the arbitration fee in whole or in part against
either the applicant or the professional consultant. The Board of
Supervisors and the consultant whose fees are the subject of the dispute
shall be parties to the proceeding.
H. Additional expenses. All expenses incurred by the Township prior to street dedication for the installation, maintenance or operation of street signs, traffic control signs, traffic control lights, streetlights and any other signs or lights which are necessitated by the applicant's land development or subdivision shall be charged to and paid by the applicant. A minimum charge of $30 per hour, per person, shall be billed for the first hour or any portion thereof for the costs of installing traffic control signs or performing other services for the development. The actual cost of all supplies, including signs, poles and other materials, shall be paid by the developer. If the Township is required to provide snow removal services on a road not accepted by the Township, the developer shall be charged the reasonable and customary commercial rate for such services plus the actual cost of all materials used. The filing of a plan or application under the provisions of the Subdivision or Land Development Ordinance (Chapter
285) or the Warwick Township Stormwater Management Ordinance (Chapter
270) shall constitute an implied agreement by the applicant to pay such expenses.
