the township for the reasonable and necessary expenses incurred for
the review and report on subdivision and land development plats, plans
and surveys by the township's professional consultants and for the
inspection of improvements by the township's professional consultants
based upon a schedule of review and inspection fees established, from
time to time, by resolution by township council.
(1)
The township shall submit to the applicant an itemized bill
showing work performed in connection with the review of a subdivision
or land development application, identifying the person performing
the services and the time spent and date of each task. In the event
that the applicant disputes the amount of any such review fees, the
applicant shall, within forty-five (45) days after the date of transmittal
of the bill to the applicant, notify the township that such fees are
disputed and explain the basis of any objections to the fees charged,
in which case the township shall not delay or disapprove a subdivision
or land development application due to the applicant's dispute over
fees. In the event that the township's professional consultant and
the applicant cannot agree on the amount of review fees which are
reasonable and necessary, then the applicant and the township shall
follow the procedure for dispute resolution set forth in Section 510(g)
of the Municipalities Planning Code, as amended. Failure of the applicant
to dispute a bill within forty-five (45) days shall be a waiver of
the applicant's right to arbitration of that bill.
(2)
Subsequent to a decision on an application, the township shall
submit to the applicant an itemized bill for review fees, specifically
designated as a final bill. The final bill shall include all review
fees incurred at least through the date of the decision on the application.
If for any reason additional review is required subsequent to the
decision, including inspections and other work to satisfy the conditions
of the approval, the review fee shall be charged to the applicant
as a supplement to the final bill.
(3)
The township shall submit to the applicant an itemized bill
showing the work performed in connection with the inspection of improvements
performed, identifying the person performing the services and the
time and date spent for each task. In the event the applicant disputes
the amount of any such expense in connection with the inspection of
improvements, the applicant shall, no later than thirty (30) days
after the date of transmittal of a bill for inspection services, notify
the township and the township's professional consultant that such
inspection expenses are disputed as unreasonable or unnecessary and
explain the basis of the objections to the fees charged, in which
case the township shall not delay or disapprove a request for release
of financial security, subdivision or land development application
or any approval or permit related to development due to the applicant's
dispute of inspection fees. Failure of the applicant to dispute a
bill within thirty (30) days shall be a waiver of the applicant's
right to arbitration of that bill, under Section 510(g) of the Municipalities
Planning Code, as amended.
(4)
Subsequent to the final release of financial security for completion
of improvements for a subdivision or land development, or any phase
thereof, the township's professional consultant shall submit to the
township a bill for inspection services, specifically designated as
a final bill. The final bill shall include inspection fees incurred
through the release of financial security. If the professional consultant
and the applicant cannot agree on the amount of expenses which are
reasonable and necessary, then the applicant shall have the right,
within forty-five (45) days of the transmittal of the final bill or
supplement to the final bill to the applicant, to request that the
dispute be resolved following the procedure for dispute resolution
set forth in Section 510(g) of the Municipalities Planning Code, as
amended. Failure of the applicant to dispute a bill within forty-five
(45) days shall be a waiver of the applicant's right to arbitration
of that bill.
B. Municipalities Planning Code. In the event of a conflict between
the review and inspection fee provisions set forth herein and in the
Municipalities Planning Code, as amended, the provisions of the Municipalities
Planning Code, as amended, shall control.
