Before issuing a permit for any element of an application, the
administrative officer shall determine from the financial officer
whether there are sufficient escrow funds to pay all pending bills
attributable to the particular application. The financial officer
shall periodically advise the administrative officer of the balance
of all escrow accounts and when additional funds are required as provided
for hereinafter. In the event additional funds are required, it shall
be the obligation of the administrative officer to notify the applicant
of the amounts required as additional fees, and in the event there
is a refusal or failure to make the payments required, the administrative
officer shall notify the approving authority. In the event the additional
fees are not paid, the application shall be considered incomplete,
and the Township shall take no further action on such application
until such time as the additional fees have been paid. In the event
additional fees are required, the additional fees shall be paid to
the Township of Mine Hill in accordance with the agreement already
entered into or any additional terms which may be agreed to by the
applicant and the approving authority.
The initial monies required for deposit into escrow before an
application is considered complete will be based on the total expected
cost as computed by the Township.
There shall be an additional fee due and owing whenever the
original amount paid into escrow is reduced by charges against the
account to 25% or less of the original amount. The concerned department,
board or Council of the Township shall in writing require the applicant
to provide an additional 25% of the original amount, which additional
fee shall be payable prior to the Township considering in any way
or holding hearing on, or public or private discussion of, any matter
which is the subject of the application.
