[Amended 2-21-2022 by Ord. No. 375]
Whenever a public hearing is required or granted by discretion
under the provisions of this chapter or the Zoning Act relating to
an application or request for zoning approval or other zoning action
the public hearing shall be noticed in accordance with the requirements
of the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act.
No officer, agent, employee, or member of the Village Council,
Planning Commission, or Board of Appeals shall be personally liable
for any damage which may accrue to any person or property as the result
of any act, decision or other consequence or occurrence arising out
of the discharge of his or her duties and responsibilities pursuant
to this chapter.
The Village Council shall periodically establish by resolution
a schedule of fees and escrow amounts to be paid by applicants for
any permit, certificate, approval, application, or appeals required
by this chapter. All fees shall be paid to the Zoning Administrator,
who shall promptly remit the same to the Village Treasurer. The fee
and escrow schedule shall be posted on public display in the Village
Hall and may be changed only by resolution of the Village Council.
No permit, certificate, approval, application or appeal shall be issued
or considered unless and until the fees and escrow amounts therefor
have been paid in full, and payment of the required fees and escrow
shall be a condition precedent to the validity of any permit, certificate,
or approval.
