[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Meeting of the Town of Suffield
as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 3-1-2001]
Certain applications for extraordinarily large and/or significant
projects pose environmental, traffic, and/or other problems beyond
the expertise of the Planning and Zoning Commission's staff to
evaluate and make appropriate recommendations. In such instances,
if the Commission, after reviewing the matter with its staff, reasonably
concludes that an outside, independent study or consultation is necessary
for the Commission to decide the issue before it, the Commission may
require an applicant, as a condition of processing its application,
to pay for the cost of such a study or consultation. In such cases
the applicant will be required to place a sum not to exceed $10,000
into a fee account, the balance of which will be returned to the applicant
after the study and/or consultation is completed.
