Professional and publication fees. Each applicant shall pay all publication
fees, recording fees and fees for all professionals engaged by the
Historic Commission, the Planning Commission or the Zoning Board of
Appeals to advise it regarding any such application. Only the fees
of such professionals that are incurred for necessary time devoted
to reviewing the application and all required submittals, other than
time expended at regular meetings of the Historic Commission, the
Planning Commission or the Zoning Board of Appeals, shall be paid
by the applicant. The applicant shall also be required to reimburse
any legal fees incurred by the Historic Commission, the Planning Commission
or the Zoning Board of Appeals for the preparation of any legal documents
required by the action of those various entities. The fee rate to
be paid shall be the same rate such professionals charge the Historic
Commission, the Planning Commission or the Zoning Board of Appeals
for its routine services. The fees so incurred shall be paid in advance
by the applicant by depositing with the City Clerk, within 10 days
of notification, a sum to be estimated by the Historic Commission,
the Planning Commission or the Zoning Board of Appeals at its first
meeting where the application is to be considered. The actual professional
fees to be charged to the applicant shall be charged against said
sum and any unused portion thereof shall be returned to the applicant
upon completion of action by the entities. In the event that said
estimated fees are not paid when due, the application shall be denied
at the next regularly scheduled meeting, unless another suitable arrangement
is made with the applicant to insure payment of all fees that may
be incurred. From time to time during review of the project, the professional
fees may be revised and, if appropriate, an additional estimated payment
may be required.
