The intent and purpose of this chapter is to ensure that the
obligation to finance Township reviews for the benefit of private
persons or entities does not fall upon the general public where the
purpose or direct benefit of such Township reviews is not for the
Township at large. The intent of the Township Board is to require
persons and entities seeking approvals which are not for the direct
benefit for the Township at large to pay for the financial burdens
incurred by the Township as a result of the requests for Township
reviews.
If a person does not have adequate funds to pay for the Township
review, as required under this chapter, the fees will be waived upon
the filing of an affidavit of indigency, stating under oath that such
person does not have adequate real or personal property to pay or
secure all or any part of the funds.
In the event a person or entity called upon to escrow or otherwise
pay moneys under this chapter becomes aggrieved based upon the administration
of this chapter, such person or entity may appeal decisions made in
the administration of this chapter to the Township Board, provided
such appeal must be taken within 21 days of the decision to be appealed
by submitting a letter or other writing to the Township Clerk requesting
the appeal with such time.
