A.
Intent; purpose. In order to properly review applications under this
chapter and to thereby preserve, protect and further the health, safety
and welfare of the citizens of the Village of Russell Gardens, the
Village often times must retain outside consultants to provide it
with independent advice and guidance in such diverse areas as engineering,
architecture, planning, environmental impact review, traffic, sound,
landscape design, economics, law and other specialized disciplines.
The Board of Trustees finds that it is desirable that the costs associated
with review under this chapter be borne directly by the applicants
rather that the taxpayers at large of the Village. Accordingly, it
is the intention of this section to establish fees and deposit requirements
to ensure reimbursement of various reasonable and necessary costs
incurred by the Village in considering applications under this chapter.
B.
Fees established. All fees are required and shall be paid for the
Board of Appeals to hear any application. The fee amounts shall be
set forth in the Zoning Fee Schedule as established by resolution
of the Board of Trustees. Such Fee Schedule may thereafter be amended
from time to time by like resolution. Such Fee Schedule shall be available
in the office of the Village Clerk.
[Amended 12-5-2019 by L.L. No. 13-2019]
C.
In addition to the payment of the filing fees required under this chapter, deposits shall be established and required to defray the actual costs and expenses listed in § 60-68C(1) for all applications made under this chapter in an amount to be specified in the fee schedule, established by resolution of the Board of Trustees, as set forth in § 60-68B.
[Amended 12-5-2019 by L.L. No. 13-2019]
D.
The fees and charges herein provided for shall supersede any other
fees or charges heretofore established with respect to the particular
item provided for herein, unless otherwise provided in this chapter.
