The applicant shall pay the following fees as fixed from time
to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors, as applicable.
A. Application filing fee. Upon submission of an application under this Article
III, the applicant shall pay a nonrefundable application filing fee as established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors.
B. Application review fee.
(1) Application review fees shall include reasonable and necessary charges
by the Township's professional consultants for review and report thereon
to the Township. The applicant shall be responsible for payment of
all such review fees. Review fees shall be reasonable and in accordance
with the ordinary and customary charges by the Township's professional
consultants for similar service in the community, but in no event
shall the fees exceed the rate or cost charged by the professional
consultant for comparable services to the Township for services which
are not reimbursed or otherwise imposed on applicants. Fees charged
to the Township relating to the appeal of any decision on an application
shall not be considered review fees and may not be charged to the
applicant.
(2) The Board of Supervisors shall submit to the applicant an itemized
bill showing work performed, identifying the person performing the
services and the time and date spent for each task. Nothing in this
subparagraph shall prohibit interim itemized billing. In the event
that the applicant disputes the amount of any such review fees, the
applicant shall, no later than 45 days after the date of transmittal
of the bill to the applicant, notify the Township and the Township's
professional consultant that such fees are disputed and shall explain
the basis of its 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. Failure of the
applicant to dispute a bill within 45 days shall be a waiver of the
applicant's right to arbitration of that bill under this section.
(3) 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 for inspection fees set forth in §
210-35H(5).
Minor subdivision plans shall be submitted for review in the form of a final plan, subject to the requirements of §
210-11C below.
In the case of subdivision plat adjustments, as defined by this
chapter, the Director of Planning may exempt the developer from complying
with some of the requirements pertaining to the application for development.
The Planning Commission may take action on the application at a regular
Commission meeting or at times other than a Commission meeting, subject
to the verification by the Director of Planning that the perimeter
boundaries of the original parcel are in conformance with the previously
recorded plan and that the adjusted lots conform to requirements of
this chapter.
