[Amended 11-5-1997 by Ord. No. 9-97]
A. The following fees shall be paid by the developer
to the Township at the time the preliminary application is submitted:
(1) An application fee, in an amount established by Township
resolution at the annual organizational meeting of the Council, for
all major subdivisions (five or more lots).
(2) An application fee, in an amount established by Township
resolution at the annual organizational meeting of the Council, for
all minor subdivisions (four lots or less).
(3) A developer's fee, in an amount established by Township
resolution at the annual organizational meeting of the Council, to
cover all costs incurred by the Township, permitted under Act 247
of 1968, as amended, as a result of any subdivision and/or land development,
including but not limited to administrative costs, engineering fees,
inspection fees, consulting fees and legal fees. These costs include
but are not limited to:
(a)
Reviewing the plan for conformance to the provision
of the codes and ordinances of the Township;
(b)
Site inspections for conformance to survey;
(c)
Preparing cost estimates of required improvements;
(d)
Inspection of required improvements during installation;
and
(e)
Final inspection of required improvements.
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.
