[Ord. No. 2010-17; Ord. No. 2017-03]
a.
Applicants shall pay technical review fees in accordance with the
schedules below.
b.
Technical review fees shall be used to pay fees incurred for technical
review of an application by the Township Engineer, Planner, Attorneys
and any other professional expert or consultant whose review, study,
research and reports and/or testimony is deemed necessary by the municipal
agency in order to assure compliance with State and Township laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations.
c.
Technical review fees shall be calculated in accordance with the
actual time required for review at rates consistent with the professional's
contract with the Township.
d.
Each deposit for technical review fees shall be held in escrow by
the Township in an account separate from the general funds of the
Township.
e.
All interest earned on any account shall be retained in the account
until paid over as hereinafter provided.
f.
All payments charged to the deposit shall be pursuant to vouchers
from the professionals stating the hours spent, the hourly rate and
the expenses incurred.
g.
In the event that the initial deposit made by an applicant is not
sufficient to cover all technical review, report and/or testimony
costs with respect to the application for which the deposit was made,
upon request by the Township, the applicant shall make such further
deposit or deposits as may be necessary to cover further technical
review, report and/or testimony costs. The greater of $250 or 25%
of the original deposit shall be considered insufficient for this
purpose and the applicant will be required to deposit additional funds
in an amount to sufficiently increase the balance in the account to
an amount equal to 50% of the initial deposit. Continuation of a project
is dependent upon receipt of any such additional deposits as are requested.
h.
No final action shall be taken until and unless all escrow deposit
fees in connection with the application shall have been paid in full.
Every Resolution of memorialization adopted by any Board pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-10(g) shall be expressly conditioned upon the applicant
making payment in full of all sums due to or to grow due on account
of such escrow account within 20 days of the date of being billed
therefor by the Township.
i.
Close out procedure: The applicant shall send written notice by certified
mail to the Chief Financial Officer of the municipality, the Board
Secretary, and to the relevant municipal professionals, that the application
or the improvements, as the case may be, are completed. After receipt
of such notice, the professional(s) shall review the application for
completeness and render a status of the application within 15 days
of the applicant's request and which shall be sent simultaneously
to the applicant. When an application is determined to be complete
the professional(s) will submit a final bill within 30 days of the
applicant's request. Only when an application/project is determined
to be complete by all applicable professionals shall the Board Secretary
arrange for the refunding of any balance due within 45 days of receipt
of professional(s) final bill.
