B. 
The developer shall, at or before the time of submission of any subdivision and/or land development preliminary plan, make an initial deposit in an amount established by Township resolution, which deposit shall be applied against such costs. If at any time during the development it is determined by the Township that the amount of the initial deposit, or any subsequent deposit, is or will be inadequate to fully cover anticipated costs, the developer shall increase the deposit by an amount established by the Township. Failure to pay the initial deposit at or before the time of submission of any subdivision and/or land development preliminary plan, or failure to pay any additional deposits within 10 days after notice by the Township, will cause immediate suspension of review and/or issuance of any and all approvals or permits. Any remaining balance of the deposits will be returned to the developer after the completion of the development, and dedication and acceptance of all public improvements.
