[Ord. 2000-2, 4/4/2000]
The Borough Council shall establish by resolution a schedule of fees to be charged to real estate developers for the review by the Borough Engineer, Solicitor or other professional consultant of any plan submitted to the Borough Council for Borough Council approval. The type of plan intended to be included, involving the payment of review fees includes, but is not limited to, plans relating to subdivision and/or land development, floodplain development and planning modules.
[Ord. 2000-2, 4/4/2000]
Review fees shall include the reasonable and necessary charges made by the Borough's professional Engineer, Solicitor or consultant for review and report to the Borough and shall be set by resolution. Such review fees shall be reasonable and in accordance with the ordinary and customary charges by the Borough Engineer, Solicitor or consultant for similar services in the community, but in no event shall the fees exceed the rate or cost charged to the Borough when fees are not reimbursed or otherwise imposed.
[Ord. 2000-2, 4/4/2000]
In the event the developer disputes the amount of any such review fees, the developer shall, within 10 days of the billing date, notify the Borough that such fees are disputed, in which case the Borough shall not delay or disapprove an approval of an application due to the developer's request over disputed fees.
[Ord. 2000-2, 4/4/2000]
In the event that the Borough and the developer cannot agree on the amount of review fees which are reasonable and necessary, then the fees shall be recalculated and recertified by another professional licensed as such in this Commonwealth and chosen mutually by the Borough and the developer. The estimate certified by the person selected shall be presumed fair and reasonable and shall be the final estimate. The Borough and the developer shall be bound by that final estimate. In the event that such a person is chosen, the fees for the services of said professional shall be paid equally by the Borough and by the developer.
