A.Â
The Planning Board is hereby empowered to approve condominium maps
for filing with the Clerk of the County of Suffolk, subject to all
applicable rules and regulations and the payment of a recreation fee
of an amount equal to $5,000 per dwelling unit to the Town of Riverhead.
In lieu of a cash payment, the developer may post a bond or letter
of credit equal to the total fee, as required herein. The term of
such bond or letter of credit shall extend for a period of two years
and six months. The Town shall deposit the fee in a trust and agency
account and withdraw the applicable fee upon issuance of each building
permit. Notwithstanding the above, after two years and six months
from the date of the issuance of the bond or letter of credit, the
balance of the fee covering all the lots and/or units shall be due.
The Clerk of the Planning Board shall maintain a log of the expiration
dates of all such bonds. Note that an applicant may make application
for a refund of fees within 120 days from the date of payment of fee
or issuance of building permit, whichever is sooner, provided that
no construction has commenced related to any lot or unit approved
pursuant to the condominium map and affidavit of withdrawal and forfeiture
of all approvals, waiver of return of or reimbursement of all costs
and fees related to said condominium application and processes.
