The Planning Board, subject to the approval of the Town Board,
may require an applicant for site plan review to deposit in an escrow
account a sufficient amount to pay the reasonable and necessary fees
and/or costs of any consultant, engineer, or attorney designated by
the Town Board to review the application. The fees and/or costs charged
by such consultant, engineer, or attorney in connection with such
review will be charged against the sum deposited in escrow. If specific
circumstances warrant it, additional funds will be required to be
deposited in order to cover reasonable and necessary expenses incurred
beyond the original estimate. Any amount remaining shall be returned
to the applicant within 45 days of final action on the application.
Payment to the escrow account, if required, is a prerequisite to a
complete application, and no review will be initiated until payment
is received. The deposit specified above does not include all approvals
or fees required from or by agencies other than the Town, costs associated
with extensions to districts to provide necessary services to the
proposal nor fees charged by Town departments or boards for permits,
approvals, hearings, or other actions, except as noted above.
